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.

YOU are weak, cowardly, insecure, controlling, fake, and very stupid.

A real man is any man with a penis. Is there a such thing as a fake man? A woman pretending to be a man?
Yes men are yes men. This has nothing to do with being nice or not nice. A man who follows the lead of a criminal is not a nice guy.
A gentleman is a man that behaves in an old fashioned way. Some women like it and some don't. It has nothing to do with nice or not nice.

Desperate means desperate.
Get a grasp of your vocabulary, stupid.
Not true. A Gentlemen holds doors because that is the proper, time honored thing to do. He ignores bad behavior (though occasionally calling rude women on it with a sarcastic 'you're welcome') and feminists get pissed and claim nobody needs them. Nice guys do what feminists say to avoid offending them.SmooveMooves said:"Nice guys hold doors open for everyone else and then get pissed when no one says thanks. No one asked for you to hold the fūcking door."
Some women want the door held and some don't because some are old fashioned and some aren't. Again for your remedial mind, it has nothing to do with being nice.bigneil said:Not true.

And (as Infern0 so elegantly summarizes) chzpu is only pretending to be nice and wondering why he gets the short end of the stick. He's not nice. He's a bitter little DB and women know it.

A maschocist ignores bad behavior from women. Yet again nothing to do with being a nice guy.
Pretending to be nice is not being a nice guy. It's pretending to be a nice guy.
You list your age as 44 but you have the intelligence of a 4 year old.
Correction.SmooveMooves said:"Nice guys hold doors open for everyone else and then get pissed when no one says thanks. No one asked for you to hold the fūcking door."
That about sums up the life of a nice guy.
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.
I clearly don't need any help from a group where everybody needs remedial training.Infern0 said:Clearly you don't need any help from us, carry on being a nice guy, i'm sure it'll work out for you, buddy!
