"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.

Hey guys,
I was having trouble picking what to write about at this late hour but I think I finally found it. I want to write about the battle. The battle which goes on everyday between you and the rest of the world. Call it interaction if you will.
We live in a world where each force reacts to another. A world where there can be no action without reaction.

When was the last time you were happy with yourself. Not happy, but proud? When I recall such times, though not many, they are all around my victory over my urges, my emotions.... myself. In todays world, we try to protect ourselves from a number of things. That is why we have limits on our life, to protect us from what's on the other side. You shut the door on religion because the other side doesn't please you. There are many such "limits" around our life but there is one that we don't have a limit against.... and that is yourself.

Remember, and it's not the only movie, in LotR 1 when Frodo asks Aragorn "Can you protect me from yourself?". Did that sentence touch you? Cause it hit me hard. I pondered today, can I protect my loved ones from myself? Am I evil? Am I root of some negative action? Am I a threat to my self and to those around me? Indeed... I am. We all are. We are all dangers to the world around us. We are dangerous because we can control that world in a positive and negative way.

Well I now recount the times when I had to protect myself from myself and protect those around me from myself. Just a few days ago, my parents got on my nerves. They were dealing out policies that were absurd and misplaced. Anger was flowing through me. This was untolerable.... I started raising my voice and I was speaking my mind. They did not chose to back down however so I stormed off. Emotions over took me. Much was anger... irritation. But I stayed in my room and within minutes, the emotions were suppressed. I was full ready to give everyone the cold shoulder until these policies be removed and basically make everyone's life horrible while being polite. But somewhere, a little voice said no. No, you will not be like that. No, you will stand up, you will suck it up, you will be a MAN and don't show that it affects you. That is how you will win. And so, I happily danced in my room having defeated such great emotions.

How does this relate to women? See the next story:
At the begining of this school year, I was a ladiesman. Always was. Natural to some extent. And so, every hour of every day, I had some new chick holding on to my arm or holding my hand or caressing some part of my body. I never claimed any of these girls. They were not worth my time. So easily seduced... so... vile. But one chick, about a 5... maybe 5.5, caught my interrest, She didn't do what everyone else did... she just came and talked to me and she was damn funny. Convos were so great and we roamed around alot just the 2 of us. It was really fun. I was running my game on her all the time and she fell for me. Over at my place, with about 8 friends, we'd watch a movie, play pool etc and I would end up having her in my arms(vile stench about her too) and holding her hand during the movie... I was.. ready to take her!

I have high standards gentlemen, but I wanted this chick even though she lacked physically. And so one day, nature put me to the test. Rather, I put myself, unconsciously, to the test. I invited her over on a sunday after noon to stay at my place for 3 hours. I was "Feeling" stuff for her. She came over and we were in a room alone with a big bed. Nothing happened for awhile, usual talk even though we both felt the big moment coming. And she sat there, her eyes showing her complete readiness, and I kneel before her with my hands on her legs, massaging her. Her parents show but they chat with mine. For 20 minutes, we stood there gazing into each others eyes. Time was pressing. If I was gonna do something, it was now or never. I was horny as ****. My d*ck was hard and ready for some god forsaken enjoyment. I wanted her BAD. And time continued to pass...Until finally... I had made up my mind. I made my move:

I got up, offered her my hand and said "It's time to go."

On that day gentlemen, I can not express what I felt. Both before and after. Before I felt what was the culmination of a long while in puberty desperatly seeking action while my mental standards were so high that I took nothing. It came back and hit me so hard I was fantasizing about that ugly chick. I was completly over taken by physical demands that I was about to blow away in 1 second everything I ever was. I had become desperate... physically, not mentally. On that fateful sunday.... I believe I performed an action worthy of being called a MAN. After that event, I was on top of the world. I was faced against the toughest challenge, the one against myself and I had WON! On that day, everything I ever believed in, myself, my abilities, my looks, my beliefs,my feelings, my past , all was justified. All was made official. I was not a fake. I fought for what I believed for and won, and THAT made me a man.

On that day, I realised that staying true to myself was far more rewarding than my physical urges. It allowed for the next story:

I finally got the one quality chick my age I had ever met in my 15 years to ask me out. I had oneitis for her for awhile but it ended about a month before we got together (side note: I think it's funny that after dreaming of having her for so long that one day I could forget about her and really not give a **** about her and THEN get her is ridiculously funny. When I least wanted it, I got it. ahh... nature.:rolleyes: ). Anyways, this is a LTR and I went to my best friends party and she couldn't go (while we were together, first month). Well, it's a party. Room getting hot, dancing with a lot of chicks, putting quite a few to the wall. This one chick gets me and puts me against the wall. I'm really horny by now, I've gotten real close to alot of chicks physically that night. She starts rubbing my junk and it feels good. So could I think I might cvm if she keeps it up much longer. We're in a dark area where no one can see us and we are almost lip to lip. I'm getting her excited, putting my hands where they shouldn't have been and honestly, that was the horniest I had EVER been my whole life. She's about to lean in for the kiss and "it" happened. By "it" I mean those moments where time freezes and you spend an eternity on one instant. I was right there, so ready to get puzzy, so horny and hormone crazed. It was about to happen, I was going to atleast get head from this rather hot chick. But that little voice came back. It didn't even need to argue. It just said my girlfriends name. I had a girlfriend. I had wanted her for a year and a half and now that I had her, I was going to drop her over action I could get from her? But I was horny... What can I say? I was over taken. Unfortunatly, Time ran it's course and she leaned in. A split second before our lips met, my finger seperated our 2 lips. Both breathing hard in absolute teenage horniness, I pushed her back and walked away.

I didn't cheat on my girlfriend. I was worth more then that. I had more honor then that. I had a quality girlfriend and it was a rare commodity. I was not going to lose it over nothing. More importantly, I was not going to cheat. I was not going to betray, not only my girlfriend, but also myself and that just wasn't going to happen, not on my watch.

On both occasions, I was made stronger. I was put to the test and I was being judged where the odds were most against me. I was judged not by how I was in time of prosperity but in time of temptation and probable failure. Many such events similar to these 2 have happened to me in the past. These I find are the 2 worth the most notice on these boards. I can only hope that you can learn from them what I did. I can only hope that it makes you want to be better then yourself. To defy and beat yourself. If you can beat yourself, and this is from firsthand experience, than you can defeat anything. Some don't have the mental stength to do so, others just don't believe in such ways. Such words as "valor" and "honor" or "virtue" are all foreign words to them. Do you choose to ignore these words? Do you choose to give more worth to your life? Do you choose to make yourself a better person?

Some one on these boards once said (I'm sorry but I've searched and can't find the author) that we could say that personality is how a person is before others and character was who the person really was when no one was watching. Do you have good character?

I believe we all get desperate. Be it with women or with life in general, we all eventually want something really bad. When you get desperate, you lower your standards. In the end, you arn't happy because mentally, your choices didn't concur with your principles. We have all been there many times, admit it. How did you handle it? Everytime we go, we lower our standards and we arn't happy later on yet we don't learn our lesson. We keep falling prey to our desires. No more gentlemen, no more. Learn your lesson and accept defeat. The past however does not hold a grip on the outcome of the future. You can walk the same path or you can march along side me, on the higher road. The road to happiness.

Choose your path.

"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 learned from my stories and basically all my life that the only thing I find to be a hundred percent true is that there is a place and time for everything. You can not ask a girl to be your girlfriend at a funeral nor can you ask her upon meeting her for the first time. You need to patient and let some opportunites pass because of unfavorable conditions until a new day when the winds blow your way. This does not mean procrastinate and eventually land in the LJBF because you took too much time. It means to choose your battles wisely.

There is a time and place for everything. ~General saying

I must say, that was an interesting read. You have a way with words which kept me reading, very good work! :cool:

It's just like the old saying: "The only person stopping you is yourself". I admire how you resisted the temptation on both occasions, particurly the second one. Considering your state of mind that would of been difficult, you show strong willpower which is a great asset to you. I personally prefer not to cheat on my gf's because i believe in honor and that kind of thing but i am not offended if people choose to: It doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things, you do what you do.. and then you die. :)

Nice post. The beginning reminded me of a quote we have hanging on the wall of our school that I kind of like-

He who angers you, conquers you.

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

THANKS ALOT

Man, you have no idea how helpful this post has been. Just when I was about to lose hope, just when I was about to lower my standards, this post appeared.
What a kick in the butt! It was just as if I had a personal trainer who said: "Are you a useless AFC?! Are you a wimp?! No?? Then get your grip together and go for the girls YOU want!!"

This post was just what I needed, thanks alot Lik

that was an excellent post man. made me glad i'm back here. when i left, almost all the people here were afc's who cared about nothing but sex. obviously, wanting sex isn't exactly bad in all situations, but that's all that they seemed to work for. it's nice to find on my first day back a post showing that there are guys here that know how to prioritize things. nice job on not cheating on your gf dude. that's true self control, especially with the girl being a mere fraction of an inch from you.

and hey, sammo, wasn't it you a while back that talked about "leaving the cuccoon" or whatever, and kept saying you were going to leave the site or something?

Lik i must say, i've been trying to find something from you.

I know you know what your talking about, and you have experience. But its been hard to find something to really respect you for. This was one of those things.

I learned more from this article than i have in a while. It showed me a lot about decision making, and what i should believe in myself. It also showed me a lot about you.

Both breathing hard in absolute teenage horniness, I pushed her back and walked away.
I must say man. That took a lot of courage to overtake every emotion in your body and say no. I know i prob wouldn't have been able to do the same.

Keep up the good work Lik, hope to hear from you soon.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I love how these posts just pop up when you need them the most. Always have... Strange o_O

That was touching. It is when we have absolute faith in be it ourselves or others beyond the shadow of a doubt that we succeed. Whenever we are out there, all those doubts just hinder us.

I goto an international french school and there's this guy who came 2 years ago. He is black and a pretty funny guy. He lived the first 14 years of his life in Africa and was in a country in civil war. He would goto school and could often hear people getting shot in the mountains. I've learned alot from him, and him from me. But the thing that stays with me and I will always owe to him is how we end our conversations: "Stay strong." It's a good thing to keep in mind.

One of my AFC friends also shed some light on me awhile back. I was having some trouble with a few female friends and as we are getting off the school bus I say "It is a good day to die". I was fully ready to settle my issues with the chicks without caring about the consequences. He turns to me and replies "Or to come back from the dead". Completly changed how I handled the situation.

Welcome back. I believe it's an important lesson that doesn't get stressed enough on this site. Just as there are worse things than death, there are also greater joys in life than action with a chick.

I personally would love hearing more of these stories or if others would like to post similar stories of self achievment.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

you tell me.

Fvck. I had a battle with myself hour n a half ago. Before I get into it, let me make thsi clean:I haven't gotten any major poon in about 6 months.
So I have a friend who goes to a different school. Shes maybe a solid 7. Normal, i won't touch anyone below a 8.
Well this girl has always hti on me, adn I've turned her down before. Supposedly yesterday she gave some guy head at school[she told me, but she denied to today when...we got alil friendly] during paly rehersal ro some sh!t
I was just lightly flriting like I do with all decent looking girls, and she suggestd we go for a walk caus its so hot.
We end up on a treehosue with no sides[just a platform] so we're relaxing, adn she pushes it further. I lie down, shes sitting up, and she starst looking pretty good[or so I thought] and I happen to have a boner, she notices it while i'm lying down, and kinda rubs it over my jeans. Well I sittup. In the end my pants are unzipped, but my **** isn't out, and we madeout twice.
But then mentally I'm thinking "eww shes not that hott, shes kinda annoying em right now..stop it goddammit!"
So i makeup an excuse: My parents are expecting me to be at your hosue in 15 mintues, my cell is a piece fo shti, so fi you want me to stay logner, we gotta head back. Her parenst were home, so I knew there would be no chacne of hookign up with them their...
If i hadn't bailed adn beaten my temptation to get some pvssy, i would have DEFINITELY regretted it...
Damn, why'd I even ahve to go.

Do you think I beat myself? I think i ahd a furious battle,, which i barely won..but i won? what do you think?:confused: :(

you did good ONLY if you actually would have regretted it.

if she was a solid 7 and you turned her down, you must have pretty high standards. Good on you
