"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.

have fun, try not to get attached, think of what I said about co-workers.
 

"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.

Just accept that you ARE the "rebound guy," and nail her for however long it lasts.

Keep your head straight. Don't expect her to "love" you. Smile and say "OK, babe," when she moves on.

This isn't very complicated. You have two choices: use the situation to your advantage, or DON'T.

Keep your other plates spinning.

I've never understood how the rebound thing works. So after she breaks up with her boyfriend, the chick quickly grabs a new guy and fucks him for a short amount of time and while she is with that guy she meets another guy and the new guy becomes her boyfriend? Something doesn't add up.

Yeah I think that's how it works. So you want one who has only been in her current relationship for a short time, and has used that guy to get over the longer term relationship she had with a previous guy.
 

"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.

I knew all this stuff and tried to not "want it" but I still got burned. Now I can look back and say "oh yeah, don't be the rebound guy".

When these girls take out their rebound issues on you it can affect your self-esteem if you're not strong enough because you think it's "all you".

But like Francisco said, a DJ wouldn't have that desperation in the first place and put himself through something like that. I hope I've learned enough from the pain in my life to actually put myself in situations that are good for me.
