iqqi..add teri hatcher to that list pls
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.
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.
There could be a lot of merit in what you are saying. Now that I think back when people were saying that to me it was when I was at work and acting ultra serious and of course I was way more introverted then than I am now. And now I get don't get the "you look older comments". People who I went to school with are always whining about getting older and I always say to them "that sucks, hope I never get old".STR8UP said:When I was younger people thought I was older too. I think it was more my personality than anything, but it's nice to be mistaken for being in your 20's when you are rolling up on 36. At least half of those chicks in the pictures are 21-26. Makes it easier to get along with the younger ones when you don't look TOO old.
lolFor men it is. Women....not so much.
I was WAAAAY too serious and introverted when I was younger. The social anxiety thing didn't help either.Ever onward said:There could be a lot of merit in what you are saying.

Sh!t man, I didn't even notice. I'll have to look at the pics again. Let me guess, "you're not just the hair club president, you're also a member"STR8UP said:I was WAAAAY too serious and introverted when I was younger. The social anxiety thing didn't help either.
Plus, through the miracle of modern hair "addition", I have a lot more hair today than I did when i was 21You guys forgot about that, didn't you? $175 can make a HUGE difference in a balding guys appearance!
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.
Lets put it this way.....I took the "do it yourself and save thousands while getting a far superior result than Hair Club" route.Ever onward said:Sh!t man, I didn't even notice. I'll have to look at the pics again. Let me guess, "you're not just the hair club president, you're also a member"![]()
Anyone here think ketostix thinks way too much about iqqi?ketostix said:Uh anyone else here think iqqi is annoying and superficial and probably fat and ugly and that's why she ignores any request to show her pic?
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I was expecting you to look like Tim Meadows in “The Ladies Man”.ketostix said:OK I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting you to look like Brad Pitt.
There's some pretty goodlooking ladies in there. I thought the asian girl flashing her panties had a pretty good bod.
Yeah, that one, Terry Hatcher, Lea Thompson, and Charlotte from Sex in the City; I find all of these have something amazingly hot about them. But that's probably not the case for most other guys.joekerr31 said:i dont know why, but i've always thought courtney cox was hot (but objectively shes like an hb 7/8). im lucky, some chics that guys consider hb7's i think are hot as hell.
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.
Yet MORE chicks I'm not attracted to! There's no way in hell I'm shallow, you should see some of my exes! What's wrong with me?Yeah, that one, Terry Hatcher, Lea Thompson, and Charlotte from Sex in the City; I find all of these have something amazingly hot about them.

I thought he would look like Vin Diesel. You know someone really alpha who types with Caps!I thought you were black TBH.
One of them is a model. She had her hair up in the pic, and again, it wasn't one of the better pics I have of her (I have one REALLY good one, hehe) but if you saw some of her modeling stuff you'd be surprised.realsmoothie said:I gots to say, Str8Up looks pretty much exactly what I figured he would.
And those girls, while not "model-esque", are definitely PRETTY and look NICE.
Good job, buddy.
Taking pictures with a lot of girls is different from actually pulling them. Of course it does increase his chances though.Ever onward said:Crikey I should definitely be pulling a lot better looking tail than I have been. I need to start giving myself more credit.
I thought you were the guy who posted some pics of you with longer hair a while ago. And said you were at a playboy mansion party or something.STR8UP said:Plus, through the miracle of modern hair "addition", I have a lot more hair today than I did when i was 21You guys forgot about that, didn't you? $175 can make a HUGE difference in a balding guys appearance!
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
