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.

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.
This is all good but it still is strange that when we were out I was flirting with her, her girlfriend and the waitress. If anything I was cognisant as to not come off as a player. But none the less she thought I was married.Ashley Chuckles said:I think that the ‘jump’ in attractiveness can be attributed to a couple of things… ultimately it depends on the kind of person you are…
Firstly, there is the added confidence of having a woman already there… the approach and rapport stage is without consequence really because even if a chick blows you out then you can go home and get some much needed validation and sex so that you feel like a real man again… you’re natural, you mind is clear and you’re not thinking too hard… it’s almost like poker… imagine you’re sat at the table and you’re down to your last few chips, while the dude next to you has a good $100 of chips… now think and contrast the way in which you would both play the next few hands…
Secondly, women are hugely competitive and being married acts as a validation for them… its proof that you are some kind of prize… they know you’re worth something to somebody else so the chances are that you’ll have something to offer them too… married dudes to certain chicks are like a Picasso to an art gallery curator
It’s all kind of irrelevant however because there’s no use in attracting lots of chicks once you’re married… well, maybe there is some use, but not in the sense that you can cash it in… I’m not going to get married for a boost of confidence, I’m going to get married because I’m at a stage where I want to do the ‘family’ thing and I’ve found a chick who is excellent to do that with… when I’m at that stage in my life and I have that chick, I’d be foolish to give it up
i dunno about you but most people would presume that someone who is almost 40 has already found a wifeFrancisco d'Anconia said:And???
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I've had that problem in the past. Now I'm not remotely attracted to self conscious, insecure women. Give me a woman who regularly stands out from the crowd.NFC said:I think I've been overly confident.. yes.. last girl I was talking to was extremely insecure. I think she thought I was too good for her.
True, I forgot about that. I'm one of the quiet few who feel that Doc Love has some viable insights toward women. But in this case this woman did nothing improper while she thought I was married. Now after she found out that I wasn't... Well...Phyzzle said:Actually, most of Doc Love's dating methods are based on subtly suggesting that you just might be married.
"He won't give me his phone #? He only calls for 3 minutes to ask me out, and completely dissappears between dates? WTF?" These are, logically, red flags, but you should do them anyways, since women secretly want the ultimate challenge of taking a man that another woman loves. Half of her will be intrigued, and the other half, the moral half, will keep rationalizing away all those red flags.
