Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
It's not that bad of an influence. Before there were pop songs, you'd have famous poems dedicated to love and romance and women.georgie24 said:pdubb
there should be no back and forth, its JUST WRONG preacching to the masses and BAD influence on younger men !
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.

As long as there have been men, there have been men dedicating their artwork to whining about women.

what " bar" in that entire song is uplifting to a mans spirit ?
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
That song disgusts me... but it's because I can't believe what Wiz turned into... damn shame.alecks said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhQz-0QVmQ0 this has to be added to the afc list....listen to the lyrics

This is why a lot of guys think women don't need men. But this post is totally accurate. I gotta go before that back and forth bruno mars sh*t arises.JdelaSilviera said:Yes, it´s mainstream now. Men dedicate songs to the women they love, while women sing songs like "I don´t need a man". And this sh*t really does affect the way people think. Guys become wussies, and women think they own us.
Have you ever seen how weak people suddenly act strong, when they find a weaker person? Or a shy person, that overcomes her shyness when an ever shyer person arises?
That´s what you have with women, when they are with an alpha man, they are really quiet, submissive and respectful (this is a pretty good way to see if she´s attractive to you). When they realize that a guy is weak, they behave like the biggest *****es in the world.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Dude, you just blew my doors off with this. I've never looked at pop songs in this way, nor realized what the big deal with poetry was until just now.Iceberg said:It's not that bad of an influence. Before there were pop songs, you'd have famous poems dedicated to love and romance and women.
