"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

Wow and he's been married for 30+ years. I wonder what goes on in that household.Luthor Rex said:

Probably they are very happy together.

"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.

Some women might really need that if what he's describing is true. Personally I wouldn't do that but I wouldn't put up with the behavior either.
It seems like he doesn't just haul off when he feels like it. He says in the interview that she provokes him.
Do some women desire and need this? Whatever the reason the women take actions to bring on this punishment. Could it be that they miss their fathers dicipline, need attention, want a man to take control of them....ect?
31 years is a long time especially for a hollywood superstar. He has done over 60 movies.

I agree with Sean Connery. Women don't know when to stop. They keep pushing and pushing, especially after you've made it clear that enough is enough. I haven't smacked a chick during an argument, but I've been inches from doing it several times.

It is ok to smack a b|tch, it is not ok to beat a b|tch, there is a big difference.
"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.

A long time ago I would have said "never smack a woman"...
Now that I understand how most women are actually children trapped inside of an adult's body, I'm not so sure.
Maybe a spanking on the butt like her daddy did.
edit: Actually, if I were ever in a relationship with a woman and I felt the need to smack her, I think I'd just end the relationship.

My Father always told me to Never smack a woman, but I kind of hear Sean Connery on this one. Makes sense. Married for 31 years? Obviously he's doing something right. I think that women like to be smacked or corrected by their men too.
No.
It's never okay to use violence with your SO. Never, and it doesn't matter who is doing it. Women should never smack their husbands, and husbands should never smack their wives. I don't care what an old farty actor thinks about it, what influence has he on my life? I wouldn't consider wearing leather tights if he had recommended them, so why should I take any hint from him on anything else?
while I might agree with you, you are not leaving room for debate. you don't present anything which would make your statement true, just giving an opinion which is affected by media. Seems like you think woman and men are equal in a sense that what applys to a woman should also apply to a man. Anyway, who's to say that we are not meant to keep our spouses in place when they cross the line. Equality? Morale spoon fed by the media?Papermoon said:
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
You can keep your spouses in place without resorting to violence. If you can't you shouldn't be in a relationship.
What will you give your wife if you smack her when she does wrong? Fear. She won't do it again, maybe. But imho for the wrong reasons. If you talk to her, however, and make her understand that there is a line that needs to be respected, she can make a choice not to behave in a bad way again. It's a choice between gaining respect and implementing fear, imho.
You are right, this is just my opinion, I merely wanted to outbalance the "yeah, smacking is fun" fraction in this thread. I am not aware of any influence the media had on me in that respect. But even if there were influence, it wouldn't necesarily be bad. If I learned from the media that 1+1= 2, it wouldn't make the equation wrong either.

nicely said, and i would like to second that. guys, even i dont feel smacking is the way to it. even smacking ur children or whatever u can boss upon. for the very first thing, why would ever get in relationship with a smackhead that doesnt know the border line and then again, we are humans we are supposed to err, so why not show them the borderline through just talking out.Papermoon said:
its not that im putting her on a pedestal as a woman but i am actually giving her the respect as a woman. man, how i get surprise at how we actually forget the difference between wussy, alphas and jerks.

Your assuming your talking to a rational woman. If she were rational in the first place she wouldn't be belligerently crossing line. For some women there is no making them understand through talk.Papermoon said:
Having said that, personally I have not and would not ever hit a woman. If I went out with a woman and she started doing this I would just leave her. Likely she will end up getting decked by the next guy or the next guy after that etc..
"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.
