"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.

For many members of this board, summer break has arrived or will quickly. For many members of this board: complacency is not an option.

I’ve let it stand long enough… There is a point in which you see to much murder… I’ve seen to many AFCs killed. I’ve tried to resurrect you… I’ve tried to open your eyes… I’ve even tried to kick you in the ass… Success for many? I’d like to believe so.

Success for all? In our dreams.

I left… not physically, for I check-up on the site rather periodically… but in spirit. I do not want to say that I turned my back on the forums… but it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the ignorant leading the ignorant, here.

Am I pretentious? You bet your ****ing ass I’m pretentious.
Am I arrogant? Absolutely.

This is what you want. This is what you need. This is what you’re getting.

I am going to insult some of you… and I’m going to have to lower myself to do it. I’m going to have to be the bad guy… it’s time for me to dress in black, gentlemen… the nice guys got their ass kicked, and it was by a guy who wore matching colors.

It is easy to make people like me… it is easy for me to have the opposite… I am going to make you ****ing despise me.

I want you to hate me. I want you to write me off. I want you to know that is exactly what you want.

The sun has set, and the dust has settled. I am going to repeat myself. I am going to rebuild the damn wheel. I am going to give you another chance.

I’m better, this time. I’ve improved… unlike some of you poor bastards.

For a very long time now, I have been asking for your opinions on my posts… no more. You don’t know as much as me, and it is that simple. My equals know they are my equals… they know that I give a **** about their opinion… My superiors who know they are, too.

No more. I’m sorry. I wish I didn’t have to do this… but I must.

I owe it to you all…

…and like that, it begins.
 

"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 intro and the title of the series gets two thumbs up - this looks very promising.
 

"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.

Suck my ****, you negative piece of ****. **** on it all, eh? You pathetic waste of space. I should sue your ass for stealing my time to read your silly-ass post.

Pathetic waste of a member... this is what I'm talking about. If I could ban this ****er, I would.

Your opinion? Shut the **** up.

I did not ask for your opinion.

They used to praise Hitler on waiting for hours, standing before a crowd - before he would give his speech.

He would wait until everyone was silent.

Holy, ****ing cow, if you go ape **** just over my post, damn calm down.

And when I said "Time to see what you got to say, might just be a hooot. " I ment in the posts you are goin teach us on.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
