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.

Okay boys why does he keep saying he wants me to invite him to do stuff if he can't stand me?
what issues are you referring to?Originally posted by wjh
he must have read the DJ bible.
he's pushing and pulling.
even if he didn't mean to do it, this confusion you have is getting to you and is seperating him from the "norm"
he's made a place for himself in your heart/head and has the potential to do whatever he wants with you... so long as he asks
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.
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.
Ignore him!!! You don't have to respond/call back/pick up his phone calls/etc.Originally posted by DreamyChick
Besides I have told him to leave me alone and he doesn't.
Maybe I do. There's something about him that is just good at convincing me. He did this with his ex too and she did need therapy after him. He's charismatic.Originally posted by wjh
Why are you taking this crap? Why is your self-esteem so low? This is what you think you deserve?w
Maybe you should seek therapy so you can deal with your confidence issues.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Goddamn it woman...you do NOT ask that man out.Originally posted by DreamyChick
He said he has to work from 3pm to 11pm and says that doesn't count as me asking. He said all I did was ask him if he was working and I told him I implied it and that was as good as he is going to get.
I absolutely hate being put in this position.
And what issues are you talking about?
LMAO thanks wild. I haven't. I can't bring myself to do it.Originally posted by Wyldfire
Goddamn it woman...you do NOT ask that man out.
You tell him straight up that it is the MAN'S job to to the asking out and you're only interested in going out with a Man. Tell him if he wants a woman that does the asking he can march right over to the NOW a find him a nice "empowered" womyn who'll fix him right up.
Don't you DARE ask that man out..I'll hunt you down and kick your ass if you do....
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.
