"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.

literarly.. i am not feeling good, but I don't know if I should go to the doctor or not. i haven't been, for being sick at least, since I was 5 and I don't want to go back if i can help it.

it started thursday night... I went out, had a couple of drinks, actually less than I usually drink, like 2 drinks in all, 3 max, then i went to taco bell at like 4 in the morning. brought this chick back to my house, we made out but she was so damn tired (and buzzed) I couldn't seal the deal so I let her go.

woke up the next morning feeling like absolute ****. to get to the point. Ever since Friday, whenever I eat, ESPICALLY when I hickup, I am in pain. it feels like I irritated something inside my chest. whenever I expand my lungs it hurts. It was to the point friday where i could hardley eat. saturday was better but still bad. Sunday was the first day I felt somewhat normal but it still (monday morning) hurts.
I did some research and somehow, I think, I am not a doctor or anything and I hope this isn't the case, but I Think the lining my lungs somehow got inflamed and everytime I touch them with something (i.e expanding my lungs, eating) it hurts.

On the flip side, I am feeling better on a day by day basis, but that's just in general.. my chest still hurts as much as it did, well not AS much but damn near, as it did friday.

what do you think i should do? Do you think it's worth a trip to the doctor?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Maybe you scratched your throat with a tortilla chip?

The doc will probably tell you to wait another week or two so that it can get better on its own. If you can breathe ok, and you are not coughing up blood, you will be fine.

ive scratched my throat with a chip before and everytime i ate or drank or coughed it hurt badly for a week or two and then i was fine. i remember it was painful during that time but it healed on its own.
try to eat soft foods such as soup or pudding or potatoes that wont scratch your throat during this time.

I think i will take a visit to the doctor, my stepmom works for one, I will go visit him and I hope I Just did scratch myself
 

"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.

update:

I am in the hopstial right now, I have to stay at least one night (i am on my laptop, I am so happy they have wifi, I wouldn't know what to do) they are pretty sure it's not cardiovascular but they just want to make sure.

One doctor thinks it's acid reflux and someone else thinks it might be something with my resportory system.

anyway, you will be hearing alot from me today becuase i have absolutly nothing to do here.

oh dude the fvckin sucks, I have acid reflux, and I'm on a generic version of the purple pill. Its a life saver, acid reflux really sucks. I think its something resperatory, cuz that doesnt sound a lot like acid reflux.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I also have acid reflux and it is so awful. When I first starting having problems I thought that it was a heart attack... I also have lactose intolerance...

I didn't say I thought it was acid reflux... unless acid reflux somehow literarly gets acid in your throat and burns it, that's not it.

I actually don't feel half bad now.... execpt for the fact that it hurts to swallow and my tonsils hurt like hell
