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.
It's a sad story for sure, but surely described the bond a human can have with a dog.StateOfMind said:Yeah I saw this story on GMA today, pretty crazy and sad. Dogs truly are a Mans best friend.
Very sorry about your dog Karma. I had another German Shepherd several years ago who suddenly went downhill. He was full of tumors. I made the decision to let him go. I went through this door and saw the vets asst with him. He came around the corner and looked at me like he just knew what was going to happen, and it did. I have his ashes in the study at my house. He was one cool dog. Maybe I'll see him again when it's my time for a dirt nap.KarmaSutra said:I've always had dogs.
Always will.
They do nothing but add positivity to your life and help you open to love.
When my Hansel died the Vet would not allow me to hold him while he was put to sleep. He had throat cancer.
That's the biggest regret of my life. That my buddy died without his Daddy to hold him.
I cursed that vet with testicular cancer for it.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Funny you said that. It's in my will to be buried with mine as well. Dogs rule.KarmaSutra said:I have both Hansel and Gretel's ashes kept in beautiful wooden boxes in my apartment.
I'll give everything I own away, but I'll be buried with my dogs' ashes.
No woman has never, nor ever will, come between me and my dogs.
The day they leave you is the price you pay for years of loyalty and love.CLOONEY said:Beautiful 5string, both the story you posted and yours of seeing your dog walk around the corner before he was put to rest.
My dogs have always been my best friends in life, I love them to death. My one is similar to Theo in that story, a spaniel and he is 16 now, so I imagine his time is coming within the next few years at the latest, it is going to be a heartbreaking time and I can't stand to even think about it.
Good luck to the rest of you dog lovers out there, they are truly remarkable creatures and a lot smarter than humans give them credit for.
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.
