"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 have been trying affirmations and positive thinking for the past few days now and have been experiencing good things - not just in life... but in lifting too!

I think the reason I haven't been making as good progress, as I could have, is down to the fact that I just had a negative attitude when going to the gym. My lifts had been stagnating for so long that I just went to the gym for the sake of going and keeping what muscle I had gained.

I also just thought that the weight I was lifting in any given exercise is what I'll be stuck on til something happens which is beyond my control... but not so!

Over the past few days I've noticed that with my new attitude and affirmations (I am STRONG and POWERFUL... I am full of ENERGY) I have increased the reps on about 95% of all my sets so far!

Granted, some of the increases have just been one or two reps extra but today I added another 2.5kg on my Incline Bench Press and repped 7, 6 & 4 compared to last week's lift on the same exercise minus 2.5kg with 7, 6, 5.

So, to sum it up, try positive thinking and REALLY believe what you are saying and feel that new-found energy surging through your body!

Happy lifting!
 

"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.

"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.
