"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 pope died apparently now

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Yep, I particularly like the bit about him unequivocally condemning millions of Africans to death by AIDS. What a guy.

The situation isn't that simple, don't try to make it out to be.

I'm actually a distant cousin of the pope believe it or not. I have cousins that are living in Poland now. It was sad to see him die, he was a really great person.

I'd go out on a limb and say BEST POPE EVER.....there have been alot of ****ty popes over the years but this guy was truly a class act, one of the most loving and commited catholics ever (he went to the jail and forgave the guy who tried to assasinate him). There are a lot of catholic bashers that focus on the tiniest aspects of corruption in the catholic church but refuse to look at the entire frame. RIP JPJ II
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Well, the world's still here, so he probably wasn't the antichrist. :rolleyes:

Anyway, the mods might not like the road this thread seems to be heading down...

The cathlic church is actually concidering term limits for future popes as well as the ability to resign the post. Modern medicine has made it possible for the body to survive long after the mind has been defeated.

In any event we'll just have to wait for the 200 plus cardinals to elect a new pope. It's something like 15 days after the death of the pope that they conviene and which ever cardinal gets 2/3 of the votes is the next pope. It's a really facinating political process because the cardnials themselves aren't allowed to even suggest that they should be the next pope. Instead, some one else (or a mulitude of people) must campaign for them and explain why they'd be the best choice to become pope.
