"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.

One hundred pushup challenge!

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Strength is relative Darth. I bet these guys are like 100 pounds less than I am! :)

Week 2 (Week 1 workout, Day 3)

5
3
2
1
1 (minimum of 5)

I'm most impressed that I actually did 5 push ups on the first set. That's my max so far. As you can see I fell short on the other sets. But it is way better than last week. I am making progress and I will repeat week 1 again next week. I know I will be able to complete week 1 next week. I'm gonna tear this sh1t up.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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 did this about 3 hours after getting home from lifting boxes for 5 hours, so I don't know if I could have actually done more on the last one. I'll try it Friday when I wake up.

Heh, I've been running this on another forum. Didn't know that you guys do it here too.

I could do 50 continuous push-ups before this, but I want that nice number 100.

I'm at week 3, day 2 now, following the 3rd column: 27-19-19-15-45.

Did it at work this afternoon and the heater was buggered today (it's freezing down here) so that felt good!

Something came up Thursday and took over my whole weekend, so I wasn't able to do Day 3 of Week 2. Instead of skipping, I'm going to do Week 2 this week.

I'm in! I have been going to the gym for a while now, so I can do around 20 consecutive pushups - would love to do 100! So I'm committing to this! Gonna start tomorrow!

No massive gains there, but I also took a long break. The test is gonna be >30 anyway, so I'll start week 3.

P.S.: Truman keep us updated! We're all rooting for ya - give em hell!
 

"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.

I haven't quit either. I just figured it seemed pathetic that I keep repeating week 1 and I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself. So what I have been doing is continuing the workouts but posting the updates on my blog. I suppose I can copy and paste the updates here once I feel as though I am ready to move on from week 1 which should be after next week (after 5 weeks!).

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Keep up the good work!

Anyone else noticing improvements in your body? So far, my arms have gotten a bit bigger, my chest is more defined and square, my back is a bit wider, my shoulders are more round, and my abs are more defined.

My arms seem to have gotten huge. They have to be to push 275 off the floor repeatedly! I feel now that I'm finally getting my 'base strength' established, I will have more success in the following weeks.

Actually yes! But I somehow doubt that 6 lonely pushup sessions would trigger massive gains.
