Penkitten's son... has a date

"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.

I am still disturbed by the fact that a man my age can have a grown ass son. I couldn't imagine having a kid who is almost a high school senior. That is just crazy. I never realized how old I was until I read this thread.

believe me, i feel old !
he may be about to turn 16, but he's just a freshman because he was held back a year in elementary.
when i was his age, i was expecting him!
it has been my goal , all these years, to bust my butt and make sure that he ends up on a better life path than what i was on at his age.
so far, so good... but high school has just begun for him.

i mean, i couldn't imagine him being in those same shoes that i was in.
his father and i were some crazy teenagers.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
