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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Her 17 y/o daughter is knocked up. This election can't possibly get any more entertaining!
Now it'll be funny as hell watching her talk about moral and family values and the benefits of abstinence-only sex ed.
:crackup:
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Its even more funnier then D1ck Cheney's lesbian daughter.Levex said:Her 17 y/o daughter is knocked up. This election can't possibly get any more entertaining!

I think part of the danger of having a former beauty queen as your vice president is the fact that everybody is going to try to dig up some dirt on her from her past, and one thing I know about hot (or former hot) b1tches (she was a model after all) is that in their late teens and early 20's they party their asses off with no worry about the future. A sex tape or a picture of her snorting coke/naked bound to come up... stay tuned.
Well this brings up a point. it's hypocritical for a woman to call her self "conservative" or at least "socially conservative" and be in high power positions in the government in the first place.Darth said:Yes. The real problem here is that Palin obviously did not successfully pass her values onto her kids, if their daughter is pregnant at 17. Maybe she was neglecting her family with all of the political stuff.
Is her husband a stay-at-home? Was he the one raising the kids?
Darth said:Let's be careful now...don't want to get the thread locked again from political flame wars....
but yeah, this is kind of embarrassing. And her daughter isn't even all that attractive. How did she get pregnant already?
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.
Good point. Although, it would have been more hypocritical for her to have had an abortion, and nobody would be any the wiser.ketostix said:Well this brings up a point. it's hypocritical for a woman to call her self "conservative" or at least "socially conservative" and be in high power positions in the government in the first place.
But you know what? Surely she didn't just find out today that she was pregnant. Why did they just now decide to get married after Palin announces her candidacy for VP? You know Palin made them do it for political reasons. Can't have a VP with an out of wedlock grand daughter, especially when you are a Christian conservative. I bet if Palin wasn't running, they would not have gotten married because no one would give a f-ck about Palin or her daughters.Darth said:Good point. Although, it would have been more hypocritical for her to have had an abortion, and nobody would be any the wiser.
But she's going to marry the guy that got her pregnant and have the baby, and not only that she announced the whole thing to the press, so I think she did the right thing.
Of course I think there were better choices then Palin. But I don't dislike her, and I agree with her on most issues, and as previously mentioned I think she's hot...
