"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.

"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.

lol. Why do you say that bro? At certain times I have no problem making fun of my self. Or I could use it and switch it around to use it on a girl, while indirectly making fun of her.kody_starr said:It's posts like these which give strong credence to the idea that the internet does more harm than good.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
The last time I heard something about my height was a bar where this jealous 6'2 guy was mad that I was hitting on one of the girls at his table. He started bragging about how he could pull any chic in the place...I said what's your secret bro, he replied, Get tall like me and you'll know! I retorted with, 'well that's not gonna happen, I guess I'm just gonna have to settle for being charming and good looking'. Needless to say he was even more pissed when the girls laughed at that.
Never put yourself down. Ever.

Not bad bro, not bad. Thanks for the advice.Warrior74 said:Self depreciating humor is for those who are above average to bring themselves down to normal and for stand up comedians. Otherwise its just pointing out that you are uncomfortable with yourself and are trying to disarm the situation preemptively by making a joke out of it when nobody even brought it up. Fix your inner game issues. I'm 5'8 and rarely get called short, I don't overcompensate nor do I joke on myself. I carry myself with respect, you should do the same.

BTW at 5'8 you're not short. You're only two inches from average and taller than 95% of women. I'm 5'6 so...I'm going to stop there before I say anything else.
