"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.

This is not a joke, and the headaches have been bothering me for quite some time.

I usually get about 5 hours of sleep just letting you know some background information.

Im in college and as a college student you have to do alot of reading for school, but everytime I start to read an article or a book for more than 10 minutes I will start to get a headache.

I will feel pain in my head almost as if my head was being squeezed, and this pain only pertains to reading where I have to think alot.

Say if I was reading a tablot paper, or some interesting article, then getting through the material will not produce any headaches.

But if I was reading a law book, or a book on economics, trying to understand and read the book will start to give me a headache and make comprehension difficult.

This pain never comes when I watch tv, it only comes when I have to think alot when I speak to someone ie. an interview or read a dense book.

This is not good, if anyone has had this problem please let me know and if you could provide some links to where I could get more information it would be appreciated.
 

"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.

Do you wear glasses or have trouble seeing the text? Glasses can cause headaches if you don't have the correct type of lense for your eyes.
 

"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.

its most likely because you strain your eyes too much.

my mom had this problem, she barely went to the opthalmologist (eye doctor) a week ago about it.

Oil glands situated in her eyes were clogged. He gave her some ointment to rub in her eyes daily for the next 2 weeks to thoroughly de-clog them, and her headache vanished the first day she used it.

You could be straining your eyes really bad. Make sure you read in a well-lit area, and keep your face at least 8-10 inches away from the page. Remember to blink intermittently as you may be forcing your eyes open. Focus on things far off in the distance every once in a while.

Other than that, see an opthomologist.

When you read, you contract muscles in your eyes to bring the pages (which are close) into focus.

You don't have to do that when you're watching TV (because it's further away).

The best explanation is that you need contacts/glasses or stronger ones.
 

"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.
