"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

"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.

Nude photography isn't just about sitting a girl down without clothes on and snapping some shots. You'd be extremely surprised at how difficult it is... the shots that appear in men's magazines such as Maxim, Playboy, etc are all products of hours upon hours of tedious work on the part of a large group of people using a good amount of rather expensive equipment.

That being said, you've got to start somewhere. Here's a list of some of my favorite places on the web related to photography:

"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.

I also dabble in photography, and will be dipping the toes into glamour/nudes etc. The results i've gotten even with an incredibly modest camera have been satisfying.

Just mess with the lighting setup, and use an asset of paramount importance to technical gear - your eye...

Read up on basic photography composition "rules" (not that i've done it, as I usually learn things via trial and error and looking at others work for inspiration, but it's probably a good idea...).

Sure. Read as much as you can. Take as many pictures as you can of as many people as you can. Study others photos that you like and try to figure out what aspects of them you like. Study your photographs and figure out what you did wrong, did right, could have done better, or changed completely.

Buy a digicam. Spend $200-300 more than you're comfortable with and get a quality camera. Preferably a DSLR if you're serious about what you're saying you want to do.

Practice makes perfect... and I've got a lot of practicing to do.

Try to learn typing and spelling before moving onto photography. Just a thought.
 

"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.

In the past few days what have you done regarding photography? Anything?

Here's what I do know - you'll never be anywhere close to good enough to be a photographer for playboy unless you've either got a huge natural talent or you practice for years. Since you're on here asking I'm guessing the natural talent isn't an option (it isn't with me, either) so perhaps you should get yourself a camera already...
