"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.

I'm gunning for the 500kg club this year as it's all metric around here, but I'm very close to a 1000lbs total at 435kg ~ 957lbs. BW is 80kg or 176lbs.

Squat 155kg
Bench 95kg
Deadlift 185kg

My next 3 months training cycle I'm going for

Squat 170kg
Bench 105kg
Deadlift 200kg

Total 475kg ~ 1045 lbs, BW aiming for between 75kg and 80kg (let's say ~170lbs)

Lifts all done raw, no belt, no wrap, no strap.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

A better place, a better time.
Thanks for the bump Drum.

I just barely got in last night.

340 Squat
240 Bench
425 Deadlift

All raw/barefoot as you said. Squat is down deep and bench touches the chest. 1,100 is the next milestone to shoot for, so you'll be hearing back from me when I make it there.

I recently passed the 1500 raw barrier. (505 sq, 405 b, 600 d) Next is the 1600 club and top 50 @ 242!

Also upcoming is the 300 lb overhead press. About 20 lbs to go....
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

You're already a big boy w/ a great strength base. Nice place to be when shooting for a 6-700 lb deadlift!! Good luck! You should post a workout journal to keep track of your progress.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.
