"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.

Netflix and former Bachelor star Nick Viall are being slammed by viewers over a 'gross' dating series about age-gap relationships.

Age of Attraction, which was announced by the streaming giant this week, promises to match singles with their soulmates, regardless of age.

It will be hosted by Viall, 44, and his wife Natalie Joy, 26, who is 18 years his junior.
 

"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.

My biggest gap so far has been a 15 year gap (me at 33 and her 18)

I went on a date some months ago, at age 40, with a 21 year old.

Lol Funny enough, I was Tik Toking yesterday here at the Hotel where I'm staying and I came across a Kate Winslet scene in the movie ' The Reader' where she seduced and had an affair with a 16 year old boy.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

i've done me 36 and her 17 a year or 2 back lol. Probably my hottest ever lay, tbh. She was a stunner

I find age gap threads hilarious. Partly over how hysterical US people are about them compared to UK people (although I must admit that slowly UK people are being brainwashed by the US in regards to age gaps).
Like, on US based forums I hear people be in uproar about a 21 year old going out with an 18 year old which is beyond ridiculous to me! (and everyone in the UK, for NOW at least, but probably not for much longer)

When I was in school, every single day, hot 15 year old girls were being picked up by their 22+ year old boyfriends in their hatchback sports cars and often getting pregnant by them. They'd wait in their cars at the school gates and even the teachers wouldn't bat an eyelid!

edit - just saw the gap in the article is 44 and 26?! Insane. That doesn't even qualify as a talking point to me! she's 26?!!!! I wish we didn't copy the US so much!

Those poor viewers: This is a tragedy outmatched only by the Star Wars prequels proving, once and for all, that that franchise is even MORE infantile and shallow than we always suspected

From my opinion I believe it depends on the culture like in Western countries they would be more judgemental while in Eastern Europe they mostly won't judge.
 

"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.

We actually had a great relationship. Some minor **** but in the end she wanted kids and as the days pass I was more certain I was done having kids ( have 2).

It seems odd to me that in this day and age, where they want to basically push "anything goes" as far as sex and gender, that the sticking point is a bit of an age gap. I really think it's because they want to find victims and oppressors in everything, and feminists want to portray such relationships as an older, experienced man "preying" on a younger, innocent girl. It's the patriarchy using its power to oppress younger women. Supposedly.

That's a good point. I wonder why that is. Is it just an attack on men?

I wonder if they would think it was so disgusting if the female were the older one of the couple.
Exactly. It would be more like, “You go girl.” There is a lot of societal double standards.

I would say so. Certainly from a feminist perspective. But it's all part of dividing everyone into oppressor and oppressed categories. At its heart it's Marxism and an attack on traditional values and Western culture.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's sticking point among the preferred pronoun using dingbats who find everything except the words "Democratic Socialism good: Capitalism evil" to be "problematic"

The rest of the planet is indifferent to who chooses to hook up with who

In contrast, another post in the forum about Jessica Alba.

“A 32 year old good looking actor, never married, no kids, who has in Top Gun Maverick and is in Captain America: Brave New World, is dating a 44 year old mother of 3; ages 17, 13, and 7.”

Stunning and brave. Age gap not as large but whatever. Her SMV has been inflated for years. Now aging and worn out, scores a younger stud to blow her back out. The guy is like, “I scored Jessica Alba…”. Yeah, the older worn out version, not the prime version.

Women who are against age-gap relationships are usually prudes; overly concerned with appearances and with what society considers appropriate or acceptable behaviour. They strictly stay within the boundaries of what’s considered “correct” because, more than anything, they fear society’s judgment.

That said, I believe it’s only a small, loud minority on social media making these posts. These people are a bit unhinged and deranged; they actively want to be offended while playing the victim at the same time.

Add to that the fact that we over and misuse those words more frequently than the average Tallahasseeans fires up the ol' meth pipe, whenever the futility of their lives becomes entirely too undeniable

I’ve been with women (2), over 20 years younger than me. Do not let the background heckling and cackling women influence you. They don’t count.
women sleep with whomever they want, when they want. They follow emotions. Never rules.

If women wanted to be married they would be. Mostwomen have juicy fantasies of being with older men. 10-20 and even more years older. Ever listen to them talk about silver foxes? Do not be fooled. They are sex machines.
If the collective wanted to stigmatize older men, women will go underground and do it even more secretly than they are doing already. Women despise any rules applied to them.

Never be influenced by the world around you. If something is considered taboo, it only makes women want it more. Be the taboo guy. Young men get furious when women are with older men. Let them. Women do whatever their body (emotions) tells them to do. If the pressure becomes to great, they will take it underground.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
