"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.

what are some opinions on the NBA Draft? What does everyone think about them doing away with being able to pick highschoolers?
 

"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.

It's too bad...if they could have gotten highschoolers this year the Raptors would have picked up Oden! That would have been a crazy frontcourt, Oden, Bosh, and Villaneuva.

Personally, I'm floored by Adam Morrison's acting skills as displayed in the EA Sports "crying" ads. The kid's in the wrong business, as far as I'm concerned.

I feel that picking highschoolers shouldnt be done away with, it just needs to be harder to do. It worked for lebron but for guys like sebastian telifar it was pointless. I havent followed up on telifar but i assume he hasent done much this season.
 

"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.

He was injured for most of the season. Actually, he was traded to the Celtics today. He played well before he was injured. Obviously it's going to be a tougher transition at point guard than it is at small forward/shooting guard/everything like LeBron. NBA Live 06 has him at superstar level in a few years :)
