"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, 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.

Hey man, don't sweat it. I know you want to work hard and recover as fast as you can. But stuff takes time and you can't change all of it. The last thing you wanna do is injure yourself again, belive me I've been there.

I know the first couple of days after the accident you're making those brave plans on how hard you're going to work, come out ahead of schedule and stuff. But in the end it usually turns out that YES it is going to take that long.

So I wish you patience and fortitude. It's actually harder to NOT work out sometimes. Just make sure you have a doc and PT whom you can trust - and then do what they say.

All the best.
 

"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.

I'm happy being back at home. I got moved to the basement that is mainly handicap friendly. The epic adventure to regain use of my arm and leg now begins. PT and OT have now been replaced to twice a day as well. Weights have been ordered. Everything is now improving!

I have also begun to restart playing Dungeons & Dragons with my girlfriend and friends. So some normalcy has returned as well!

Glad you are home and keep us posted on your progress.

It's obvious you have a fighter's spirit, and years from now you'll look back on what you've overcome, and smile.

Be sure to rest though and take your time. Enjoy the process of recovery, one small victory at a time.

It has been a year and comic relief has been healing up and has been finishing his final year of college. He will earn his degree this year. He had an appointment today marking a year since the horrible wreck that could have killed or paralyzed him... and the only thing that didn't heal right was a knee and will have to undergo surgery this summer for that. So please send all your prayers and well wishes his way for both the upcoming surgery and finishing the very last part of school and getting a damn good job in the end. P.s. all of your posts helped him to recover.

I know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

My doctor told me that it would serve me well later on.
