"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 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.

Experience.

Experience.

Experience.

Happiness is an experience. Sex is an experience. Watching TV is an experience. Spritual growth and finding god is an experience. Creative expression is an experience. Service to others is an experience.

Do you see the pattern?

What matters most at the end of the day (or your life) is to know and accept that you have lived your day (or your life) to the best of your abilities. When you have done this, you have surely gained tremendous experience in the day (or your life) that you lived.

Carpe diem, motherfvcking carpe diem.

I say it's up to each man to define his own purpose, so there is no set meaning of life
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Man creates his own meaning or others create his meaning for him. He will be much happier with the former rather than the later.

hmm,

have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

If there is, I want it brought to me and shot.

Hmm, if I knew what the meaning of life was, I'd be a rich man...
 

"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.

Other.

Its about what each individual human being wants it to be about.

Though I'd agree with a good quote from the videogame Eternal Darkness possibly being true that says "we have a very human need to weave a web of meaning where there may be none".

There really may be no meaning to life at all.

It's not like it's such a secret. Guys like Buddha and Jesus got there first. But understanding them's another matter :cool:

The answer is different for every person.

So I chose the last option ... :D

Thinking about how life originated because it was statistically a stable way for chemical bonds to exist, I guess the purpose of life is still about preserving the very matter we are made of. But it was also a statistically stable thing for the matter to exist in such a way that it had the free choice of doing what it had coded itself to do or to recode itself to do something else (that means, be intelligent and free willed) because that behaviour by itself increases the chances of the matter to be preserved. But ironically free will only exists on such a level to mold the world to suit us but not on the level to truly go against our self-coded instincts of continuing the existence of the DNA we are made of.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Why would you will something that's against your interests? You're free to, but why would you do it, just to prove you could?

On the making babies note, I do feel a striong urge to continue and improve the human race. I guess this explains my passions of exercise physiology and learning.
