"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.

What are you listening to?

"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

The Killers - Mr. Brightside
Interpol - Slow Hands
Iron Butterfly - We All Die Young (from 'Rockstar' soundtrack)
Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces

(AMAZING! It's almost like some classic Guns N' Roses, except with better vocals - Scott Weiland is the man, despite being a junkie! LOL.)


And... drumroll... Ken Oak. www.kenoak.net - this dude is very talented singer-songwriter - in the vein of John Mayer (they don't have similar voices, though).


Snacky Chan. www.chanhiphop.com. Betta recognize the dog-breath kimchi muthafuka, biatches. :p

Exactly where I want to be.
Here's my "Morning Lineup" I listen to before going to class every morning:

Def Leopard - Pour Some Sugar On Me
Green Day - Burnout
Stroke 9: Kick Some Ass
Incubus - Out from Under
Geto Boys - Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster

Gets me ready to face this mortal coil every time :)
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"Hot Fuss" by The Killers is a spectacular listen.

Killers CD's pretty good

... but I don't have it.

Current top 3:

The Joy of Sing-Sing. Ultra-melodic, trip-hoppy dream pop bliss featuring x-Lush guitarist Emma Anderson.

Aveo: Battery. Catchy Smiths/early Cure-ish music with good, dryly humorous (and not AFC) lyrics.

Echo & the Bunnymen: Ocean Rain. I will never tire of this beautiful, impressionistic, darkly romantic music.

Scooter has some very nice tracks - though their last album is crap, sorry to say, since they are the ones that introduced me to the entire techno genre when I was 8 :)

Massive Attack - Angel
Prodigy - Action Radar
A Perfect Circle - Judith (Renholder's mix)
Lange Feat Sky - Drifting Away

I agree with what other people said The Killers album is awesome. Anyway right now I'm listening to:

Tusk - Fleetwood Mac
Big Love (Live) - Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac is probably considered a girl band by most but oh well. Both me and my dad have their greatest hits album, so I guess that means were both "girly men".
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
