"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Performance anxiety when I legitimately "like" a woman

Anyone else? Don't be scared to admit it--we're all anonymous here. And I'd appreciate thoughts/advice.

Seems like if I don't give a sh!t about the girl and just want to use her as a literal fvck toy I have no issues. But once I start to date a girl and legitimately like her I get in my head more and sometimes/sporadically have issues.

I know some guys are the opposite--they get performance anxiety if they don't know a girl well and aren't "comfortable" with her.

Had a date earlier with someone I've seen like 8 times now. She dressed up for me in this sexy outfit and everything. Went to her place and she wanted to fvck immediately, but I didn't feel horny at all. D1ck was as limp as an overcook spaghetti noodle. Embarrassing. And I felt pretty sh1tty considering she dressed up for me. Was awkward for a bit, went for a walk, came back, we started slowly getting into it and then I was all good. Went 3 rounds like a champ. Very weird, but I remember this happening years ago with the last girl I was seriously dating. It's like I care about them TOO much and lose sexual attraction or something.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Drink a little bit of wine before, it will keep blood flowing and make you think a little bit less.
Once you get used to her, you'll forget about this problem. 3 rounds like a champ sounds enough for a confidence boost if you ask me.
You're probably a little anxious about loosing her since you care.

P.S. Prepare for the obbligatory "Have sex with other women" posts!

Also, have you considered checking your testosterone levels?
I saw a lot of guys recommending that on the forum. Could help.

Hey man, i've lost some women in my life due to this. I felt like it was so much at stake when i started to like someone for real and that i should perform like a pornstar champ which made me instead start to avoid sex alltogether and the women thought i was disgusted by them. Never had any problems with libido it was just a mental block. A little bit of alcohol is always good to loosen up.

Identifying the problem is always a good start to approach it in the right way.

No...maybe it's the anxiety that you know you might not be very good? I can't wait because I already know it will put me so far and above pretty much every other guy she has been with. I reign destruction and am the rocker of worlds.
 

"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.

Let's look at it from a scientific standpoint. We simply need to break it down to the Sympathetic system (fight or flight) and Parasympathetic system (Rest and digest). When both a man and a woman are relaxed, it promotes an erection/vaginal lubrication. In contrast, the fight or flight response stimulates orgasms.

Basically just boils down to deep rooted thoughts about the woman that you like which is making you not relaxed/anxious. Find ways to relax yourself. If you continue hanging out (but more so sleeping) with the same girl that you like, the relaxation will occur naturally over time.

This happens to everyone occasionally. For me it was usually early in a relationship or with someone I didn't know very well. Probably a comfort-level thing. A few years back I had my doctor write me a Rx for generic Viagra, called Sildenafil (it's really cheap too). When I'm with a new girl or ONS, about 30 minutes before the act, I'll crack a pill and take 10 mg. Works great. It also delays my orgasms.

Nothing wrong with putting high octane fuel in the gas tank.

Good luck.

Generic prices on viagra are less than a dollar a pill (only take half a pill at once) and generic cialis is about 1.50 (take about one fourth of a pill per day).

I wont post the url so the spambots stay away, but google for all day chemist.

I wouldn't do it everyday, it can make you never work if not using said drug, moderation on this will help, if you are not having physical issues with this problem and is just mental ones half before doing it should do the trick, understanding what is gettting on your mind and work to control it also pays off, you are helping your mind to concentrate, with can help in several things you need and want to do
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I will second this approach.

Although I have noticed it usually only happens when I'm not that into a woman for any number of reasons...

I absolutely get performance anxiety every single time I sleep with a new woman. I want to be able to please her so she will come back again. This is critical if you want to have sex with any woman more than one time. If you are a minute man or don’t seem to be interested in pleasing her then she can go find Her D from somewhere else. Usually by about the 3-4th time I sleep with a woman my anxietygoes away because I know what to expect and what to do to give her the big O

I think if the problem is related to the way you think, maybe you can solve it by changing the way you think. Try not thinking about her in romantic terms and think about her in a more dirty way - think about what you'd like to do to her etc.
