"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It usually doesn't hurt. Most places require the speed to be below 300 (kph? whatever the little machine says). Some even lower than that. As long as the speed is between 270 and 300 and you don't get hit at point blank it doesn't hurt; even when you get a nasty, cool looking welt. Any lower than 270 and the balls don't break, and they hurt when they don't break. Any faster, and well, it's obvious. The only places I remember it hurting are on my fingers and top of my head.
When I go I always wear knee pads. You're going to do a lot of sliding and ducking on your knees. The first time I went I didn't have knee pads and I got scratched up pretty bad when I had pants (jeans) on.

It doesnt hurt man, just go and play. Me and my team used to play a game called "the pain game". You would stand 20 feet apart duel style except facing each other. Then each would shoot at each other moving closer and closer until someone quits. I've been shot point blank countless times and yea it stings but nothing too bad. The only place I would cry like a little girl is in the nuts obviously but that hasnt happened yet. *knock on wood*
Knee pads are a really good idea too. I have a pair of slim ones I wear underneath my pants. Also, wear baggy pants and a baggy shirt. Baggy clothes are key because you will get more balls that will bounce off and not break.
Its really a fun sport, I have been playing since I was 12 or 13 so about 7-8 years now.
If you need any advice on what kindof stuff to buy, don't hesitate to pm me.
Here is a pic of me from a tournament I played about a year ago. I'm in the background shooting. http://www.beog.org/events/iao2004/Owners Group Division/PB100123.jpg

It doesn't really hurt. It' sort of an expensive habit, though. Those paintballs can get expensive.
I like playing in woods fields better than speedball. Speedball seems so contained and artificial, no real motive to outsmart or out-strategize your oppenent.

Just wear some goggles and you'll be fine.
