"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's been a few weeks since I last posted pictures, so I figured I'll put up a gallery with the shots I took on Saturday night. I'm currently in the process of becoming a photographer. As I'm still in college, and haven't had the opportunity to work with very many models (which is changing soon hopefully), they didn't all come out as I would have liked.

Right now, I'm working on developing my own style - though with a fashion show, it's hard to do that. Basically, it was me and 2 other photographers running around and taking pictures as the opportunities presented themselves. I added to my portfolio only one of the shots I took, which wasn't even of the show itself - it was from "behind the scenes". Being "new", I was about to take pictures of all of the models changing clothes at the end of the show - until one of the other guys was like "Um, I don't think they would like it if you took pictures of them while they're all naked. The shot I added to my portfolio is a edited version of PICT2093.JPG (removed some of the flash off of the stairs, minor retouching on the face, etc... http://www.jbspencer.com/portfolio - under portrait - color, I believe...)

Anyway, here are the pictures (resized so they don't come up as huge shots):

Let me know what you all think. Obviously this isn't a show comparable to any you'd find in NYC or elsewhere, these were pretty much local girls who just happened to shop at the store putting it on, or had a friend who told them about it...

"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.

"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.
