"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

So, I figured I should seek out some professional help for some of the baggage that my marriage left me with. I got some encouragement from a co-worker along with the girl I'm dating to go through with it. So I called the place up and they said they'd get back to me.

Here I am, one day later. I got my phone call an appointment. The guy sounds like a flaming homo. I mean, he's got the accent and the lisp. Is this guy going to be able to help me with relationship issues? Is he gonna get a trunk when I tell him some of this 5hit?

I'm not a homophobe, but seriously... WTF???
 

"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.

Not to be flippant, but just get a different counselor.

Sometimes if I have to call an 800 number for customer service I don't like how dumb the person on the other end of the phone sounds. I hang up and call back and invariably get someone else.

Do you really need some PC councellor to tell you everything will be alright?!

You are better off taking a week's vacation somewhere warm where the alcohol is flowing and the women are easy, that will fix ya up!

I don't know what this 5hit is all about. I'm willing to give it a try because I've never done it. I like first-hand experience. If all he does is tell me 'everything's gonna be all right' or tries to shove his 5hit-digger up my ass, then I'll know it's a crock.

SO, lets take a stab here.
Do you think a gay counsellor is more likely to tilt toward the feminine or the masculine view of life ?
.
Not to make light of it, but are you willing to perhaps become his secret fantasy when he is doing his b/f?
 

"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.

Usually gays have pretty good gaydar. From my experience, I never had gays hitting on me because I have "straight" written all over.

Yes I do have gay friends.

Either way it'll be a fun experience to find out what he's got to say.

I don't know what kind of baggage you're dealing with but I could never see myself paying for someone to give me advice. It would have to be some HEAVY baggage!!!

Well here's the good news. My work is paying for it. They offer it for free. And yeah, if all else fails, it'll be interesting to see what a gay dude has to say about relationships with women.

You really think he's going to try to f*ck you? I mean...do you REALLY think this?
Of course not, but I can still laugh about it.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

If you do go, post back and let us know what the homo's views are, could be interesting as jophil28 said.

He's probably one of those guys who have a wife and kids like normal people, but still doesn't know he's gay yet.

Don't come back and give us one of this:

Nicholas 'Oz' Oseransky: [after Oz wakes up naked in a bed with Jimmy] What the hell happened last night? And why does my ass hurt?
Jimmy Tudeski: You fell down a flight of stairs.

You need to find a mans man for a shrink.One who will tell it like it is. 2 sessions with one of those guys straightened out my relationship with my young son. He told me what I needed to do differently,what I was doing wrong.

My marriage counselor was afraid to piss off my wife and tell her she was *****y and needed to lighten up. We did a YEAR and nothing changed. HE didn't tell her she was hard to live with until after she filed[she's never been wrong,so she wouldn't change her decision. I was sick of her BS,so I was all for the divorce]

If it were me I would want a straight counselor since I am a straight guy. If you cant respect the guy then dont talk with him.

Counseling can actually be a HUGE help---but you have to get the right person. It's not so much that you are paying them to give you advice, they right guy can help you see some things that you aren't uncovering by yourself. I agree that you need a man's man to talk to. You need to be able to be raw with him and not dance around in mamby pamby land before you get an honest assessment.
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Something tells me "he" (and I use the term loosely) is going to try to give you a lesson in sensitivity.

But then again, you could be surprised. Homos sometimes have a lot better outlook on hetero relationships than hetero people and know when to not put up with bullsh!t.

Are you scared he's going to suggest bl*w j*b therapy or something?

How well therapy works for you depends on how honestly you're willing to work with yourself and the connection you have with the psychological approach used and the therapist's working style. Personally I find it hard to respect psychoanalysis, but I have a great respect for cognitive therapy.

Grow up brother. If you have issues working with a gay therapist, then by all means get another, but don't think his lifestyle will conflict with his skill as a psychologist. I don't agree with the lifestyles of a few people on these forums, but I still find myself learning from them occasionally.

It's really disillusioning to see that people whose feedback you value are completely asinine.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
