"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.

Hey Guys

I have a question about consciousness and am hoping to get some sensible replies on this.

Sometimes when I am interacting with people it suddenly feels like my consciousness gets sucked to the top of my head and I am more observing rather than just being.

do any of you guys have this? And what is this?
 

"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.

Yeah, he was quiet and thinking to himself. How's that for a universal example.

Example: I am talking with someone and suddenly I become extremely aware of my surroundings, my body language and the other persons body language.

Perhaps I could compare it to a first person shooter with an observer mode.
When it happens It feels like I am going from action mode to observer mode.

I hope you understand.

GS-83,

Google "Persinger god helmet"

The guy and the research are a bit wacky and a bit flawed, but yo umight find it interesting. The guy does research using his personal fortune (hence the wacky stuff, like a "God Helmet").

There's probably a physiological basis for your experience (as there is for basically evry other kind of weird perceptual experience).
 

"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.
