"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.

Outside of the top 5-10% of men, most men don't have great options.
Hey @SW15, I think you'd agree Marcus Jordan is a top 5-10% man. So what the heck is this guy doing going public with a divorcee with 3 kids who is 16yrs older than him? Not to mention all the surgeries she's had that make her look like a retired hooker. :rolleyes:
 

"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.

Let's look at Marcus Jordan's SMV. His father is extremely rich and likely bankrolls him. There are reports that he has a salary of $500,000/year, wh He is 6'3" and not overweight, so he has that going for him. A 6'3" guy with a generous trust fund does make the guy a top 5-10%, even if he does very little in life. Marcus Jordan hasn't done much in life other than be Michael Jordan's son.

Marcus Jordan is using Larsa Pippen as recreational use only. He's not going to commit to her long term. It's a fun bang. I agree he could be using his time better though.

Nah, it's way past recreational use when he plasters her all over IG and writes posts like this one: http://instagr.am/p/CoqJ-qVvdQb/
Bottom line: people are afraid that the 5-10% men are going to scoop up all the young, clinically sane, wife material virgins and they'll be left with older divorcees but reality is much more complex than that. ;)

It is bad when a 32 year old male who is a rich, trust fund adult child chooses exclusivity with a woman pushing 50, even an attractive woman pushing 50. There's a good case even against recreational use only as it isn't the best use of time for a wealthy, trust fund adult child.

A wealthy, trust fund 32 year old would be better off going for 18-25 year olds. That's the best use of his time.

I imagine the attraction is that they can relate to each other as NBA kids. Like how Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet were able to relate to each other as half black/half jewish celebrities. They have unusual backgrounds that make it hard to relate optimally.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

It's a valid point. Larsa Pippen was an NBA wife, Marcus Jordan is the son of an NBA player.

Marcus Jordan is not a high value man. What has Marcus Jordan accomplished?

Larsa Pippen is the best he can get…

He does have money from a generous trust fund and he's not overweight. He played college basketball. NCAA athlete status can mean something in the sexual marketplace, but usually only until 30 if you don't go pro.

Trust fund baby is opposite of high value. He played (past tense) college basketball back when earning an income was prohibited. Question remains- what has Marcus Jordan accomplished?

(…Nothing.)

He is with Larsa Pippen because he can’t do any better.

Nothing is a good answer. Having cash as a trust fund kid can get a man poontang. There are many trust fund kids getting laid.

It is shocking that he can't get some random 20 something woman with his father's status and his trust fund.
 

“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.

This may seem hard to believe but this relationship is mutually beneficial. Marcus Jordan cannot do better than Larsa Pippen. He is not high value enough to pull top tier women. Larsa Pippen is a used up ex NBA wife, which is actually better for him than the hooker trash gold diggers after his fathers estate. Larsa Pippen may be talent-less, but she at least adds half of Scotties money to the relationship meaning she isn’t with Marcus Jordan just for his money.

Id argue Larsa is with Marcus more for the last name and to “get back” at Scottie. She alluded to leaving the marriage huge mistake and that she probably can’t find another Scottie Pippen.

Marcus Jordan would attract a lot of 20 something gold diggers. Larsa Pippen already got her divorce settlement money. Larsa still has 1 kid under 18, but 3 of her kids are 18+ (counting the one that will turn 18 in 3 days).

I talk about the ridiculousness of childless men committing to single moms. Marcus Jordan would be a cuck if he committed to Larsa Pippen longer term since she still has a 14 year old who won't be out of high school for another 4 years. Additionally, Larsa Pippen's adult, 18-23 year old kids right now won't take kindly to a new dude either.

Based on what? His Dad being Michael Jordan?

He is fat, not particularly good looking and not particularly groomed well.

If his Dad wasn't Michael Jordan he would be a bottom 20% man.

She is a good looking woman with a strong aura. If you look at him all he got going for him is being MJ's son. I dont see him roaming the streets daygaming women. And lets say he does approach a woman..she wont be more interested in him than she'll be in you or me, UNTILL he mentions being his son .

BUT, we all know that these things can only keep a woman in check for so long. After ,lets say 3 months, he'll have all the same problem that we normal peasants have; she'll wander around, a new Chad with an 8 pack enters the building, she'll get bored. He won't necessarily be aware of how game works.

This is a extremely interesting topic. What is a HVM. What's his anatomy? Can you be a HVM without having put in the work?
I agree with Eyebro that this is the best he can do if he want a LONG term relationship..and yes, she'll COMPLETELY dominate him. Ofcourse MJ sees through all of this and tells him to man the F up and do better!

He's a top man based on Looks (fit and tall) Money (multi millionaire) Status (due to who his father is).
He's not really an exception as far as guys high on LMS scale entering relationships with women with obvious red flags/baggage, more of the rule, that was my point in the discussion with @SW15. Look up the women your favorite high LMS guy, from Brad Pitt to Evan Spiegel, committed to. It's full of divorcees, single moms, women with baggage in general. A couple of exceptions off the top of my head, Jason Statham and Paul Walker (rip).
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

This dude is not fit. He has a gut. If that's your definition of fit, I'd be Mr Olympia by comparison.

Being Michael Jordan's son is a good conversational piece and might be good enough to get him laid. He might have problems with longer term retention, but he can get sex and get into some sort of relationship based upon status as Michael Jordan's son and his net worth from the trust fund.

Ofcourse MJ sees through all of this and tells him to man the F up and do better!
You're correct. Michael Jordan has had some business skill, both in his days as a basketball player/brand endorser and in his post-playing days.

He's not Cristiano Ronaldo fit, but still.
I would call that not overweight. Not overweight + healthy trust fund can work.

I understand the he's just a trust fund kid stuff, but he's not just any old trust fund kid, he's MJ's son - easily one of the most recognizable athletes/figures in the world. There's tiers even to celebrity and MJ is something like godlike tier, like Muhammad Ali. By extension of his father that makes him a somebody(which is why TMZ covers him), even if he hasn't accomplished ****. He stands to inherit a **** ton of money once his father passes away and a lot of women would love to he tied to the family name.

I'm surprised at some of the fellas - the son is probably just in it for a good time. Him posting a bunch of stuff means ****. Lots of guys promise women the sun and the moon just so the gravy train doesn't end (sex). She likely drains his sac really well which is why he hasn't dumped her yet (it would not be difficult for him to have a harem if he wanted).

Former NBA All Star Gilbert Arenas has a hot take on this....


Arenas "What 48 year old man, wealthy, got money, what 48 year old man would date a 48 year old female? No 55 year old is going to be excited"

- the son is probably just in it for a good time. Him posting a bunch of stuff means ****. Lots of guys promise women the sun and the moon just so the gravy train doesn't end (sex). She likely drains his sac really well which is why he hasn't dumped her yet (it would not be difficult for him to have a harem if he wanted).

Gilbert Arenas also agrees with this.
 

"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.
