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.
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.
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'm sorry to hear that your girl and child were killed, that must be some deep ****. Your story is very inspiring and I can relate to the feeling.Originally posted by zerocelcius
I have been in your shoes!
I have thought about the same things.. I have tasted my ******* when I found out. I was scared. I wasn't at the time in my life where I could have kids. I was 19 she was 18. We were both scared as hell. I didn't want it and pleeded with a higher power to take it all away.
Than after cold sweats and weak legs, and millions of oh phucks. I woke up one day (two weeks later) and I thought about teaching it Martial Arts, or how it would look at me like I was the biggest man on earth. How it would smile or laugh.. or godd...... the dipers..... yuck. Now it seemed diffrent now I had to up my life to a diffrent level. I woke up everyday at 4:30 ran to the Gym, Ran back and did cardio. Ironed my clothes, ate healthy breakfast, quit smoking, payed my bills, got out from under all my dept, and started living for my child instead of me.
It made me the best person I have ever been. Sombody I was proud to be..
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.

Lol exactly. Some of the over-emotional retards on this site can't understand that though. They think as soon as a sperm has entered an egg, suddenly it has the same worth as a living, breathing adult human(and don't bother telling me that technically it *is* living at that point, I know it is, living as sludge that is).Originally posted by dietzcoi
If you had not been born you never would have realized it.
What is the different if you were aborted when you were a few cells, or if your father had used a condom that night?
Same results!
you know what is funny to me is people that use this kinda logic. Sure eating meat is bad, Wacking is real bad, but having sexx ah man who cares what happens? If you really cared what happend to animals or sperm than have the control to not have sex. BUT YOU DON"T care. Why should you? eveything you believe is responsible free.Originally posted by italostud

With this logic, some of you guys shouldn't jerk off because think of all the poor sperm that die! They're living creatures too, capable of creating life! Stop jerking! lol. It's funny that most of the pro-lifers probably have no problem eating a burger or chicken, from which a fully grown, live animal was killed. BUT they have a problem with aborting a tiny little mass of cells which really has no conscious thought, feels no pain, and has the potential to destroy the mother and father's lives if it happens to be created at the wrong time.
Create Reality: Have her get the abortion, then go have a beer with your buds. And be more fyckin' careful next time lol!
Ok, I have no idea what the hell you're trying to say in the first paragraph. Firstly, I don't care if I eat an animal or jerk off, I was using it as a comparison. And if I cared about animals and sperm, then I should have control not to have sex? Huh?Originally posted by zerocelcius

with your logic I can shot sombody in the f3&^% face and say.. who cares 9(&& he didn't feel it... besides he is just a bunch of die'n cells. Or kill the whole population becaue I don't like them.. I see them just as worthless as those cells that make that sludge that feels no pain.. and who cares about pain it is just chemical reactions with nero transmitions.. no big deal...
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
