"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.
"The Alphabet of Manliness" by Maddox

"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.
My favorite of his work: A tribute to real men.

I like Maddox, but to me, his book was fairly disappointing. It had some funny moments, but when you compare it to the work he has on his website, http://maddox.xmission.com/ , there's no comparison. His website is pure gold. Hilarious!
But if you're interested in reading this genre of literature, I would recommend Tucker Max. He and Maddox are actually good friends as I understand it, but Tucker is wayyy funnier and a little more realistic. For example, in Maddox's book, he tells you Pirates are cool. Ooookay. In Tucker Max's book, he tells the story of how he got **** faced and punched a girl in the vagina while she was doing keg stands, among literally hundreds of other equally hilarious stories. http://www.tuckermax.com/ Check it out. I guarantee you will laugh until your entire abdomen aches, and you will come away with a lighter perspective on life.
I think the greatest difference between the two writers, is Maddox doesn't believe the stuff he says...Tucker lives it.

Maddox's articles on his website about "manliness" are very well-written.strey said:don't know if you guys have ever heard of this book or whatever, but if you get a chance, seriously, it is one of the funniest and intriguing books i have ever read. very entertaining and very true, and if this book doesn't make you proud to be a man, cut off your balls. check it out, for your wife's sake
The book is trash. Might make a good toilet-read for the downstairs bathroom...the one the wimmen-folks stay away from.
If Maddox didn't look like a weak version of a cro-magnon he could have all the ass he wanted. He's had a girlfriend or two on and off, more money than you, and he doesn't go to websites trying to figure out how to hook up with girls. He actually figured it out early, whined about it, then eventually did what none of us could do...said "F*ck it" and did his OWN thing. That's why Maddox gets more chicks than you.brett012 said:The greatest difference between the two is that Maddox is a nerd. Maddox can't get women. Tucker Max can get any woman he sees. I've pretty much lost my respect for any of Maddox's upcoming stuff because I can now see through his BS so easily.
btw: have you heard about TM's upcoming movie? That's right, he's releasing a fvcking movie. http://www.tuckermax.com/archives/entries/date/be_patient_lots_of_stuff_coming.phtml
Tucker Max pulls more ass because he's got the same package, figured it out (not giving a damn) a lot earlier, and has looks and a rich father to boot.
"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.
just so suave

Maddox works a normal job doesn't he?

Maddox..I think his book wasn's as good as his online work. But regarding his work, remember he's mostly making fun of everything. You should no take his word too seriously.
Tucker Max is another different story.
