"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I recently left my roommate because he had been acting like a bi tch towards me for a while. That, and he had fallen into a deep depression, and was getting drunk EVERY day and living with him had become unbearable.

I thought - "Fine. This is ok. I'm going to move into a single (no roomate) room, that way I can have my GF over whenever I want, and I can have some personal space."

So I went ahead and did that. I have my own room now in a new building. And as I had assumed my GF comes over all the time and we have lots of sex. She's very loud most of the time, and I like it that way, and I figured with my new personal space this wouldn't be a problem.

Well aparently it still is.

I got a note attached on my door anonymously from one of my female neighnors requesting an end to the sex noises. (....she's just jealous, all my female neighbors are real nasty). It was a polite note, but still irritated and firm. She suggested that I play loud music to drown out the sex noise. This is ok some of the time i guess, but most of the time sex is spontaneous, and I don't want to get up to turn on the tunes.

I'm courteous to my neighbors and don't want to piss them off further, however I'm a bit irritated at the same time. I mean, this is my HOME. I ought to be free to do what I want. Other people can play loud music. I should be able to make loud sex noises.

This sucks, it's like there's no place where it's cool to fu ck and let loose.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Tell her that she can always turn HER music up. OR put headphones in. You live with neighbours all your life, and theres always rivalry. Basically tell her, you'll make sure she won't hear you guys, but that she has to pay for a portion of your rent haha, or for the sound proofing board.

No, it's your DORM that has very thin walls. Be courteous, play some music to cover up the noise - it's not unreasonable nor is it even remotely difficult. What's going to suck for you is if she gets the RA involved...

You said it before I could.

Yeah, obviously it's not just the loud noises that are bothering her. Or else she wouldn't tell you to use loud music. She's either jealous or prudish or something about it makes her uncomfortable.

tell her you'll stop with the noises when they stop playing loud music...

and that to never bother you again, you're taken (in a teasing tone)

It isn't that hard to put on some loud music is it? Just be a little more respectful to your hallmates. I remember being real annoyed with the people next to us because they would always keep us up until 3 AM. So I can see how she is frustrated.

it's got nothing to do with jealosy. when you're trying to sleep, there's nothing worse then uncontrolable noise, whether it's loud music, water dripping, or crazy sex screams.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

To MoM, Caldus, Diablo: Yea, I totally understand that what is due is a bit more courtesy. I know that there are a dozen offensive things I could do in response to this... all of which would just make matters worse. I'm no idiot, and I'm more willing to make small sacrifices and be diplomatic about things than be bullheaded.

I guess I'm just frustrated because I saw the whole personal space thing as one of the main benefits of this single room, and the advantages haven't materialized like I had imagined.

I kinda wish she had confronted me in person about the issue -- I know that personally I would have been more comfortable with that, and it would have given me the opportunity to appologize and disarm any anger she might have.

And by the way, none of this is at any unreasonable hour of the night -- so sleep is not the issue. Trust me, I need my sleep as much or more than the next person. I have 8AM classes.

most dorms have quiet hours from around 11pm-8am during the weekdays...

if you were blasting any type of noises at 2am and I was trying to sleep I probably would tell you keep it quiet... (I'm sort of an RA in my dorm).

Not during quiet hours.

i think she is either jelous or awkward with sex noises. because if she wanted to sleep then the loud music wouldn't help either.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I don't think she is making an unreasonable request if she can here you in her personal space.

How would you feel if your neighbors started doing things that annoyed you? What's good for the goose...

My suggestion is to give your girlfriend a pillow to stuff in her mouth. Problem solved...
