Did you guys see her on my profile pic on FB?NorwegianDJ said:That asian is CUTE.
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.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Some pictures she posted I believe.BPH said:Did you guys see her on my profile pic on FB?
Enlighten me famBPH said:I kept doing that fingering trick on redtube and had her top off the entire time.
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.

As much as I appreciate your opinion I will risk it to justify this...she claws me, kicks me, punches me, among other things. I have no problem with that. I thought that meant that I could mess with her a little bit as well. The "kick" I administered her was one of the weakest hits I'd ever dealt anyone. Adding to my reasoning was the fact that she was wearing a backpack filled with books on her chest, which was the place I chose to kick her. On camera my kick didn't push her back AT ALL and she walked away with no signs of an injury. She was being a baby and a snitch. I think you're confusing "hitting a girl" with "beating a girl" and if that's your perception, fine. But that is the furthest thing from the truth. And no I didn't "kick" her because she hit my friend, I didn't even know she hit my friend. I was just surprised that she didn't get punished for hitting somebody on camera much harder than I had hit her on camera.Jack Wealthy said:I don't know what you did exactly to get suspended, or why, but t sounds like you were a ****. The way I see it girls are far weaker, smaller, slower and less coordinated then us. They also have less control over there emotions. Since I'm actually a man and not just a **** with a body I can put up with getting hit a couple of times by a girl without having to retaliate at all. Defending yourself, proving a point and being a petty douche are three different things and very often you seem to confuse the first two with the third.
I don't mean to make you all defensive, I'm stating a simple fact. Hitting a girl is like hitting a 12 year old. I'm no saint, maybe in the heat of the moment if a girl hit my eyes/testicles I would hit back without thinking. But if I had 0.1 seconds to register it was a girl in front of me I'd pull it back and do something else. One of the million other options. A bear hug. A tackle. Tripping. Running off. Throwing my shirt at her.
This is another thing that happens: If a girl wrongs my friends, I have no excuse to hit her. I do however have the explicit right to yell at her. A lot.
You should learn this lesson man. When a girl is in front of you, or in your arms, think about how much weaker then you she is. Most likely a girl will never be a viable threat to you, if she somehow becomes one (a weapon, martial arts training) then sure, defend yourself. I would too. but otherwise think, back to yourself 5-6 years ago, think about you now versus you then in a fight. If you can seriously justify that I'm going to stop reading your journal.
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.
Yeah that sucks.BPH said:I thought it was something playful between friends. I "hit" other of my girl friends with the same amount of force and the response is usual a laugh, playful retaliation, or something else along those lines.
Is it me? o.0One of my natural friends tells me I should not go to prom and just try to hang out with HB Kaitlin that next weekend. That's a good idea, I'm just concerned that she wouldn't miss work like she would for prom, and would instead flake.
Actually no, that would be my friend Nick, never practiced pickup or anything. But yes you both had the same opinion.LearningSlowly said:Yeah that sucks.

That's exactly the advice I gave you and I stand by it.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
You told me that after I had already started IMing her. I wanted to have a conversation about her not asking me for my sh** all the time.LearningSlowly said:TALK TO YOUR COACH. Why do you insist on acting like the victim all the time? If you understood what he was thinking, you wouldn't feel like a victim. The problem is you don't understand, because you can't TALK TO HIM OPENLY.
Tell him you feel like a bench warmer but you think your play deserves more.
Why didn't you just give Cassidy the homework like I said and not make it tense all the time?
(And don't try to hang out with Kaitlin that day. She's gonna flake. Try again soon.)
I know it's a team sport, but I'm pissed because I don't feel like part of the team. These guys are my friends and I appreciate that, but right now I am a bench warmer for whatever reason.Nick1886 said:To be honest you sound like you're playing for the wrong reasons. Unless you're doing it as a favour to someone remember that your coach isn't biased and if you were better than the starters you'd get played instead. Practice is probably the answer and thinking that you won't bother turning up if you dont get played is the totally wrong attitude and unless you know you're 100% committed dont turn up again. It's a team sport, not an individual one.
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.
