"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

What are your best recommendations for mental fatigue. I get that kind of numb feeling sometimes or foggy feeling in my head.

I also get mentally tired quickly. I guess I'm a big ***** or burned out, or depressed?
 

"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 get that alot too, best thing I've done is some kind of activity/exercise outside in the sunlight. Get the blood flowing, and quit thinking so much.

30 minutes of sunlight daily if possible, cardio exercise and a diet rich in omega 3's along with getting plenty of sleep will likely reduce or eliminate this.

a. You sleep too much
b. You don't sleep enough
c. You don't exercise
d. You have a terrible diet

Learn to meditate and quiet the mind. If you're mentally fatigued you're probably wasting your energy on trying to control things you can't control. These are troubled times.


Cheers!
 

"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.

You are starting to become my favorite poster. Very wise indeed.

But in all seriousness, it’s still a problem in 2019 for a lot of people.

Maybe consider the following:

1. Don’t try to multitask. Focus on one thing at a time. You’ll soon get into “the zone” on that particular task and not feel as foggy. Jumping around from one thing to another makes brain fog much worse.

2. Get adequate sleep.

3. Nofap/noporn for mental clarity

4. Cold (or at least lukewarm) showers to wake you up
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Very good post. I have on occasion used a technique called the pomodoro method where i focus for 25 minutes before i take a small break

So which goal or pursuit have you recently been overwhelmed by or squashed by or haven’t been working on?

Your mind can trick a man into thinking he’s not good enough or “who am I kidding?” Voice that pops up in your head.

Or someone has been suppressing your ideas and goals. Snide comments etc

I work in a field in healthcare where most of my work is kind of dictated to me by the needs of patient care. However my department rewards project work as something of great value too. I struggle to work on projects given my more pressing short term clinical responsibilities.

There is alot of task switching in my job due to frequent interruptions and this no doubt is responsible for the mental fatigue
