"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.

I really hope no one who is serious about studying a martial art looks here for any kind of advice.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

OP's advice was pretty useless but some of the disscussion afterwards was an interesting read.

If Traditional martial arts are so damn useless, then why when I was walking downtown Kunming, China one night did I see 5 military policemen practicing kung fu?? Why do most militaries still offer training in the traditional arts?

By the OP's logic, both TMA and MMA are both completely useless because we live in an era that has guns and bombs. Why not just train as a sniper or DL the cookbook instead of "wasting" time training in hand to hand.

The OP also makes the mistake of thinking that everyone takes a martial art for the same reasons. Many people learn different martial arts for many different reasons. Some for fighting, some for exercise, some for confidence, and some to meet asian chicks, ect... There is no one reason for learning martial arts. However I would like to say that the ultimate goal of a martial artist (once he's gotten into it) shouldn't be to become a better fighter, but a better humanbeing. After all, the point of martial arts is to stop a fight. Any teacher who says otherwise, isn't likely a good mentor.
