"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.

How come when I try to give rep points it says you have to spread it around before giving it to guru again. When I can honestly say I haven't given any to guru before or anyone in a while for that matter.

It always says that when you rep someone. They got the rep. I think it means that you have to go and rep a different person before you can rep that same person again.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Despite appearances, rep points aren't broken, they're just on a very small scale... meaning that it takes upwards of 100 points to get 2 bars.

ss rep points
So close, yet so far away . . .

I disagree because I repped someone and it asked me to put in a comment. So there must be a different reason.

I said, "Mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep"

She said, "You're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet"

I Turned off my rep points long ago. One of the reasons I really liked this forum was b/c we didn't really use them. Now that its the new craze though I will rep others for their sake.

"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.

Ok, I just tried to give out my weekly rep and it wouldn't let me. It said you must spread around your reps before you give it to reset again.

How come this keeps happening to me?

The person with the most rep points will be crowned Mr.Sosuave.

The person with the least rep points will be liquidated.
 

"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.

Yeah, something like that...

If you see a post that you think gives good advice, give someone positive reputation. If you think it sucks, give negative rep. There is no real use for it right now aside from showing who gives good advice and who gives bad, though it's still early (and flawed when you see some of the people with higher rep...)

internet attempt at social proof, in addition to the number of posts.

people with many posts and many rep points are generally a good indication of the current collective consciousness of any particular message board.

"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.
