Some chick I've been talking to recently told me I had a "weakness of character." She wouldn't explain what the hell she meant and I don't see what I did to deserve this comment. But what does a "weakness of character" actually mean? What was she trying to imply?
"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.
In hindsight, yeah, I should have said something like that, but I didn't understand what she was implying. She didn't say it in like areally mean way or anything, but I just couldn't figure out why she was saying that. I knew that term meant something negative but I couldn't figure it out.
For me to say "you have a weakness of character" out of the blue, is the same as saying "theres gold in them there hills". It begs the obvious question "...where?".
What were you talking about at the time? Did you express an opinion about something that she didnt agree with? Again, "shut you're beak woman!"

We were talking about school and finsihing up and all, and I talked about how I had gone by to talk to some of my teachers about my grades. She said something about me having "weakness of character" and that people like teachers and I guess others in power like that would not respect me for this. She's someone I'm hoping to date (or was) so now I'm not sure after that comment.
I think you're right about the "shut your beak" response though.

"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.
Never underestimate the power of "shut your beak". It is funny, insulting, disarming and totally unexpected.
Im not sure she understands the term "weakness of character" either, by what you are saying here. Talking to your teachers about your grades is quite a normal thing to do.
Ironicaly, her using this phrase to put you down in some way, for doing something completley normal, shows "weakness of character".
Go figure

You are weak if you do not stand up to your values, if you tolerate someone abusing you, if you do not have perseverance to endure under difficult circumstances, if you cannot face up to adversity, if you are not honest, if you do not have self control, ...
