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.
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.
Feminists have being saying this nonsensical shyt for 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jay Jay said:Don't you realise that a woman suffered pain you cannot even imagine to give you life.JJ
no LMS, it's true.Last Man Standing said:Feminists have being saying this nonsensical shyt for 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOD!!!! You are a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally figured out why you had such a warped angle on men's issues!!!
JJ, you don't have to imagine that kind of pain, do you? Because you are of the female persuasion!!!
Only a ho-mo would say such!!!Raikojo17 said:no LMS, it's true.
a woman, a hor if u will, went through a pain like u could never in ur life go through to give birth to u. so u could be here today spouting about how women are all hors (like her).
It's rare, but we both agree on this.Last Man Standing said:Only a ho-mo would say such!!!
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.
Oh, you do not understand what me and "feminists" have to say about the pain of childbirth?Last Man Standing said:Feminists have being saying this nonsensical shyt for 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, good one kid, that was a good slight against me - touche!!Jay Jay said:When a man is born, it comes out of this thing called a "virgina." Don't worry about this virgina thing, I am quite certain that your birth was, and will be, the only time you ever come in contact one of these things.
Last Man Standing said:Haha, good one kid, that was a good slight against me - touche!!
It is a "vagina" not a "virgina".
Motherhood is a beautiful thing and should be respected and honored to the fullest!!! No argument here!!!
Damn! That spelling mistake really ruined a well constructed burn didn't it! I'm good at doing everything with em but spelling it!
****!![]()
Well as long as you're not calling my mum a hor...

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Hors "sleep" around - women sleep with their husband! Women are not hors until they hor - differentiate!!Oxide said:Just ask your mom how many abortions she's had.
WOMEN SLEEP AROUND. HOLY CRAP we've just discovered a parellel universe!
Whoa, such words!!! "LTR, Engaged, to be Married - wow, this emphasizes my point - she is being pimped and it is not her husband!!!Oxide said:Biitch please... so a girl in LTR engaged to be married is what?
lemme ask you, do you sleep with hors?
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.
These are words of wisdom. Yes it takes time and patience and yes for a certain period of your life, you will have one-night stands and boring dates with women that you don't want spend the rest of your life with. You will go through all this, you'll enjoy the ride for many years. It will be a blast but eventually it will leave you a bit lonely and jaded but you will have learnt something valuable: how to interact with women, what you want and what you do not want in a woman and so forth.You have to be very picky, patient, and smart when deciding to say, "This is my girlfriend."
DJF or John said:...I mean, skip to the lou made a thread everyday, but at least it wasn't this whining bullshyt.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
