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.
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.
I won't be surprised, he's a businessman after all.Maybe HE'S faking it. Sympathy vote + miracle cure. You can never be too sure with politicians.
Or maybe she caught itI won't be surprised, he's a businessman after all.
He's geared to do anything that brings him a profit.
But if indeed, I'd be surprised that his wife is a willing participant.
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.
Sneaky...but that's what the anti maskers are saying until it hits home and suddenly it becomes real.Well, it's okay, he's old after all. Right?
You guys would hv been out of the woodworks much sooner had y'all just wore masks.Maybe he's just calling out sick to avoid another clusterfvck of a debate performance? I used to do it when I was unprepared for a test all the time.
Honestly that we are 11 months into this thing and the man with the most control over who he sees and interacts with of anyone in the world is pathetic and we deserve every bit of derision that comes from all corners of the world for even having a debate about his fitness as a leader.
Peak 2020 though.
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.
Agreed.You guys would hv been out of the woodworks much sooner had y'all just wore masks.
Your economy would rebound faster and better, people would be able to enjoy and more people get to live until their appointed time but nooooo....
It's all fake news and BECAUSE of this lie being spread around by irresponsible people, you've got the highest infection rate with the highest deaths in the entire world and ur economy is taking a dive.
We're still here. And masks are still bullsh1t.Where are all the anti-maskers? I know they heard the news by now...
Denial is not a life strategy...We're still here. And masks are still bullsh1t.
The debates were fantastic. Biden got humiliated as a senile stammering fool.He could always flip the script if he doesn't have any symptoms and say he got it but still went on with life and it's no big deal. He couldsay he didn't do anything differently other than the recommended quarantine to set an example and reverse the fear in some out there.
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.
Where's the science to back this up?We're still here. And masks are still bullsh1t.
Admit it, you secretly love the chaos and excitement of a Trump Presidency....Denial is not a life strategy...
Trump has been wearing a mask from what I've seen, but okAnd he's now the biggest laughing stock of the world because of his cavalier attitude cost not only his country but his own family potential harm, and of all things, just for a bloody mask.
Putin must be enjoying the show.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
