"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.

"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 think the touchless striking is BS, but the 'touch of death' is a real thing. There is a nerve in the neck that will easily render another person unconscious if hit. The problem is that the target is tiny and easy to miss. To be able to realistically use something like that in a real fight, you need about twenty years of practice.
Not fake, but it is all psychological. Derren Brown does something similar, where he punches the air in front of a person, and they get knocked to the floor.
The psychology behind it is the belief that your body is going to enter a state of shock after this "death touch" will likely cause it to go into a state of shock. Basically the placebo effect. It's all fabricated in the person's mind. The guy's students all believe in his ability to "death touch", so their brain is tricked into entering a state of shock. Derren brown does this in one of his tv shows, very effectively on martial arts trainers. I think behind the scenes, he hypnotises them to be susceptible to the punches, which is in effect what this trainer has done to his students, as they believe he has the power.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
You can kill somebody by smashing the ribcage hard enough that it caves the heart.
Other than that, I don't think there's a death 'touch'.
You can crush the carotid arteries to cut off blood to the brain. That can lead to death.

I completely agree. The fact that the "death touch" didn't work on anyone but his own students is all one needs to know. It's like those crazy revivalist preachers you see tap people's forehead and the person faints to the ground and swears it was God that did it. Lots of other religious practices have things were people lose their minds or enter some altered state of consciousness going through some ritual. But I think they are just psyching themselves out.CaptainJ said:
