Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
Good point,.. .is this yet another humblebrag thread?SteR said:lol this thread seems to be a "my e-penis is bigger than your e-penis"..
I started my own company in late 1996, hence the income explosion and subsequent crash. It was also a reflection of the dot com bubble.TillTheEndOfTime said:Why the big jump after 1997? Why didn't that happen in 1995?![]()
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.

Things in the economy were never the same since.
As far as telling girls what we make, I do it because I figure all they ever hear is BS and I want to prove myself, even if I don't compare to the lies of others.
And good point ka mate.

Problem is, it takes a reasonable, down-to-earth man to appreciate what 1.72% means. America doesn't make those anymore.ka_mate said:http://globalrichlist.com/
