Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Pearl Jam has to be my all-time favourite band; I've listened to their music for over 30+ years.

I unfortunately have never had the opportunity to seeing them play live, until now. Today, I just scored tickets to their concert in Melbourne, later this year, during November. I got tickets in the 'Golden Circle', which is the closest section to the stage. I've never gone to a major concert before, so I believe that this will be one of the best nights of my life.

I haven't had a genuine holiday in nearly 30 years, when I visited Hong Kong when the United Kingdom was still in control (I don't count my yearly visits interstate to see family as a 'Holiday'). I'm glad I'm able to have the opportunity to treat myself. This year has started off great for me... giving up alcohol (47 days sober today), and now I'm going to see my favourite band. I haven't been back to Melbourne in around 20 years, the city where I grew up, so It will be great to also explore places such as the Museum and Galleries, and the amazing food scene.

Anyone here also Pearl Jam fans, and seen them play live?
 

"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.

So, I saw Pearl Jam play live for the first time last Monday, in Melbourne. A Bucket List item ticked off, and it was one of the best nights of my life.

"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.
