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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Thanks cool dude. Move along.New2Town said:Live a full life and you'll have your own stories.
If you have so many stories, then why look for others? You can't create stories and then have people ask about them later and forget about what you said. It's easier to tell the truth than it is to lie.fea8899 said:Thanks cool dude. Move along.
I have plenty of stories already, but I'm always looking for others to have up my sleeve to be able to introduce in different situations. It's something I'm good at, so I'd like to maximize this skill by seeing other stories and using them as a framework and/or reminders of my own.
Now if anybody has anything like this, please let me know...
It's not a template I'm looking for. It's reading other peoples' stories that will trigger memories in my own life that I can spin in a humorous way. Take a look at the thread above with Mystery's new video about his niece...it just reminded me of some funny experience I had with my little cousin that I can now use in the field.New2Town said:If you have so many stories, then why look for others?

Here's a template for your stories...
Last _______ (insert day), I went to ________ (insert place). When I was there, _________________ (insert funny thing that happened) and I was __________ (insert emotion).
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.

Stop wasting energy trying to undermine me and just be a help if you can. If not, just ignore this thread. For your own sake homey.
