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 calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Deus ex Pianoforte said:That's total bullѕhit, man. Just because girls paralyze me with intimidation doesn't mean that I can't speak intelligently of the experiences that I HAVE had with women.
Maybe, but human nature is fairly pervasive.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Or much more likely...things are different on another CONTINENT.

Ah, yeah I have people in India, Ireland and a few other places working on my projects, plus the cute little project manager for one of them is a Brit Chick. Also some of the components come from an R&D group we keep in the UK.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Oh. British spelling, but you live in America. Gotcha.

This is true, however it's not really useful. More useful is the question "If you offered the woman who's admiring the RR a choice between having a RR and a Yugo, which will she likely choose?" Or more precisely "If you offered the woman who's admiring the RR a choice between having a guy driving a RR and a guy driving a Yugo, which will she likely choose all else equal?"Deus ex Pianoforte said:Women can ADMIRE good looks without REQUIRING them. You know, kind of like they can admire a Rolls Royce without requiring a man to drive one?
My experience is that this is true, in fact they are generally just being more selective because they can.Nighthawk said:Hot women are not dying to reject guys, they are dying to be fucked. Agree or disagree?
Wrong, but even if they enjoy both, they still do both. Do you want to be one of the ones they ****, or are you just wasting your time being here?Deus ex Pianoforte said:The pleasure of shooting a man down trumps the pleasure of sex..
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.
Ironically enough (for a guy who loves strawmen) the best you could probably do is to claim this is an improper extension of your analogy since you introduced the analogy (woman admires RR) it makes that strawman claim pretty disingenuous.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Ironically enough, by equating cars with human beings you are flirting with strawman territory. You just left the building, in other words.
OK.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Let's not jump the gun, here.
Hot women reject a lot of guys because there are tons of "overconfident dillusional losers" with nothing to offer who get on her all day long. That's why some HB's develop that "*****face" to keep losers away. But most HB's are open to meeting guys who look like they take care of themselves physically,have ambition and a good personality. There are guys dating these women,so obviously your phobia's are extreme.Deus ex Pianoforte said:The last compliment I received was "You are very good-looking."
I understand that, but I just can't do it. If a woman is too hot, she's just dying to reject guys anyway so there's no point in trying to make eye contact with them unless you're a masochist or in the very upper echelons of PUA's.

So what will the hotties do to you, not sleep with you? Sounds a lot like the outcome of not walking up. Look at it this way, if you get a 0.4% success rate and approach 10 per day, you'll be on a date with a hb9 within 25 days or so .....Deus ex Pianoforte said:Unless I achieve fame or fortune, I seriously doubt I'll ever get the chance to bust inside one of those girls.
They won't remember you and how is asking a fellow human for contact info degrading? If anything they have degraded themselves.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Enough to degrade myself 999 times and allow anybody in the nearby vicinity to snicker behind my back whenever I see them in the future? I don't know.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Nighthawk said:Do you believe you can change?
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.
