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.
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.
Uh, how do you know she is clean living? She is pregnant AND not married!! She IS NOT some teenage virginal wife (yes, they are really still out there).Zunder said:I have always gone for the sultry Portman looks rather than the beachyblonde california girl types.
Portman is clean living so might hold her looks for a lot longer than most chicks.
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.

America is just so odd in 2011. Personally, I could careless about some older woman like this.
^ its never a good idea to try to convince someone of a person's intelligence by babbling like a retard. "She has had some of her sh1t like "seriously" published.....by like "real" people and sh1t..."backbreaker said:3.probably one of the top 3-4 pure smartest people in hollywood. she is so smart she has had some of her **** like seriously published by like real people and ****.
hb 9.5??? if she wasn't famous you can drop a couple of points and she would be just a 7 which is her true non famous rating.backbreaker said:and fore the record, if you caught her in a book store and didn't i know who she was and got her number you would be here bragging about the "9.5HB" that you bagged at the library (and you'd be right)
I speak 2 languages as well. Nothing special.1. she speaks hebrew and english

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.
