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.
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.
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.
I've never been one to place blame on an entire race or people just because of an act of terror by a few.@Spaz I was drinking with guy who was in hot places and he told me what je thinks about them. It’s too racist I can’t paraphrase, but it has to do with their higene. Nah man, that entire religion is absolete. We are too eager to blame jews and their genocidal war on palestine, but no, they created an oasis and are a major player in middle east. Nah man. Islam is obsolite.
Absolutely.I've never been one to place blame on an entire race or people just because of an act of terror by a few.
As for Islam being obsolete, I can't comment on it since I've not studied their entire holy book but observing Muslims, I find many to be decent, good, kind hearted like most people.
It's always the fanatics giving a bad name to their beliefs.
Wars brings out the worst in people but it also can bring out acts of selfless compassion though that's few and far in between.Absolutely.
Thing is when at war not all people are good.
The line between religion and culture is thin. I find most Muslims to be a Muslim in culture only, similar to many Americans being Christian. I personally am a practicing Christian so I see the difference daily. Most Muslims have no desire to blow anyone up, and most of them have no real desire to bow down multiple times per day to Allah or whatever, they do it just because they are told to and were raised doing so.I've never been one to place blame on an entire race or people just because of an act of terror by a few.

was in UAE, Dubai in particular few years back, a girl in abaya standing next to me, gave me the eye and i was too eager to talk to her but kinda afraid as well.. still cannot forget how awesome her body under abaya... and i think she barely wear anything under beside maybe a lingerie,Last year I saw a (I presume) woman walking down the street in NYC wearing a burka...and high heels. I thought, how funny, her a$$ must look great under that thing.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I too am a practicing Christian, as such I can understand what u r trying to convey, in that cultures can be shaped by religion.The line between religion and culture is thin.

Goes to show you that people, even if they don't believe something and/or know why they are doing it, will follow the herd. But if you want someone to truly believe, you have to show them 'why'. Most sheep can go their whole life not know 'why' they are doing anything.
I'm with you, that's why I chose Christianity for sure. It extends beyond the other religions' limitation. In actuality, I hate the term "religion" because it trivializes my own. It would be stupid for me to simply choose a religion from multiple options, I mean we are talking true belief here, it's not really a matter of preference in my mind, it's what is true.I too am a practicing Christian, as such I can understand what u r trying to convey, in that cultures can be shaped by religion.
However Christianity is flexible, as can be seen in Asia, cultures is mostly still maintained or intact, for example, if one were to meet a Chinese Catholic in China, they will tell you that they do maintain their ancestral worship, meaning they pay homage and make offerings by burning incense to their departed parents or ancestors.
It is a form of deep respect and a form of love.
Perhaps this is one reason why Christianity is growing in Asia, it doesn't subjugate but acknowledges and embraces different cultures.
