"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.

Some people drink to ease their tension. Alcohol is socially acceptable b/c it's legal. Also, it's also more deadly than many other substances you can use to calm your jitters.

Society is so fucked with how it views cigarettes and alcohol vs. illegal drugs.
man i hate this ****ty old argument alchohol VS drugs

its stupid and so clear, booze has been around for 100's of years, same as smoking, if booze where just invented it would not be legal,
booze is bad yes, in moderation its fine.
street drugs **** u up, in moderation some can be fine, but in general **** you up
end of
why do people insist on bringing this crap up?
the only people defending drugs are those who use them

drugs for a date? WHAT?????????????????????????

drugs for a night out with some hard dancing *nods*

a smoke after a hard day at work*nods*

a few beers in the pub on friday *nods*

drugs foir a date WHAT?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Vicodin (Hydrocodone) is far more addictive than alcohol, for a number of reasons.

Opiates are inherently addictive and very, very few people can use them recreationally.

Eventually, they will take over your life.

vicodin will not make you more confident. it will simply take the edge off making you less antsy and more relaxed. it's not like alcohol where you feel an actual confident boost.

The pillhead stereotype of the half-asleep zombie is only half-right. Doing pills causes many people to become very disagreeable when the pills wear off. And since tolerance builds so quickly, dedicated pillheads often spend more time in the fit of rage than they do enjoying their drug.

Pills are only legal because they make money for drug companies and doctors. And as soon as you get hooked, you will have to do so many that you need to break the law and get multiple prescriptions, like Rush Limbaugh. Then you can make money for cops, lawyers, and prison guards, too.

I believe everyone should have the right to put whatever they want in their body, just know the risks.
 

"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.

No, pills are legal because they are effective at what they do - blocking pain.

And I don't recall Rush Limbaugh being charged with or convicted of a crime.

Even the ACLU is on his side on that issue.

Ironic, isn't it?

Regardless, if one uses them (opiates) recreationally, they can cause euphoria and give the user confidence, but like you said, tolerance can build quickly and the after-effects of physical withdrawl are brutal, which causes people to get into the vicious circle of using.

Vicdon affects different people differently.

Confidence and euphoria are two very common effects.

RE:

I dont understand why people get so nervous before dates. Ive always been in character while I was on a date. Its not like interviewing for some top notch job, you're just going out with some woman you barely know and trying to determine if you dig her and she digs you. If anything make her smile and laugh and bit and you'll be fine. No need for drugs. Dont go out for coffee though, it'll make you too nervous.
