"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.

Throwing a Party Tonight, and I am SO Screwed!

Seriously, I am sooo screwed right now. My roommates and I are having a party tonight and I invited every girl I know. Like seriously every girl I ever met in college. I have been secretly going tanning, and I went twice. I think I misused the goggles this time because these are seriously the biggest pale circles around my eyes I have ever seen! So my skin is pretty burnt, and a large area around my eyes is completely white. I am in a complete state of panic right now and every time I look it gets worse. If these girls see me like this, then there goes my chance.

PLEASE can someone help me out on this? My friend has makeup that blends with skin in his room (he covers his zits). Will that help at all? I can't tell any of my friends because they will never let me hear the end of it. Does anybody have any ideas at all? There is no way I can cancel this party.
 

"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.

Are you sure you are a dude?? because this insecurity drivel is what I expect from some 18 year old college chick. For fvcks sakes who gives a sh1t if you have white circles around your eyes, just go out there and have fun.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

you're a moron, no one will ever love you

i'd call you the scum of the earth but that'd be giving mother nature a bad name

girls think you're an idiot, you're clumsy, you make stupid decisions, and you'll never be a man

there, how does that feel? was it really that bad?

did i just mess up your life for you?

did you die?

are you still alive?

does your peni5 still work?

you'll be fine. make a joke out of it if it comes up, it's stupid, you shouldn't have to hide the fact that you tan. be witty about it.

if you're this weak about what people will think, you have a lot of self-esteem to build up.

Wait, your afraid of being screwed at the party? I thought that was your primary motive for going tanning!

Anyways..... yeah, like the other people said, think this will actually be something you can work to your advantage. You're already peacocking in a sense, totally red skin with white circles around your eyes. I bet it makes you look a heckuva lot more interesting than your boring friends.

Seriously, wear some goggles and come up with some creative story about how you surviving an explosion or something (like in the cartoons)..or better yet just tell them the truth. Funny stories about your life are always an easy way to start a convo with a girl.

Wow, not only did nobody notice the circles, but I actually got laid last night. The party went really well. at least 40 people showed up, which is a lot for the size of my apartment. This just goes to show how I can get so insecure about petty BS that nobody else notices. This was a pretty big revelation for me, because I have been stressing unbelievably about how my skin isn't perfect (had acne in high school, and there is some scarring). Friends and family always say that they don't notice, but I have a hard time believing them most of the time. Good stuff, though. Maybe this experience will help my confidence in the long run.
 

"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.
