"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 is your greatest single accomplishment?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I dont consider graduating college an achievement, not really sure why, anyone else think this way or am I just phucked up?
I agree, not very important.. massive amounts of debt for society to officially let you play on the next rung of its game, it is an enjoyable experience to be on your own with relatively little responsibility though.

You can probably just lie about a degree and most employers wouldnt even confirm it.

In general the idea of listing accomplishments strikes me as pretty depressing.
 

"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.

That is how one's value is calculated. Would it be fair to be calculated by what one says he will do?

I think my biggest achievement has been the fact I was given nothing, flat broke, nearly on the street with no support yet somehow found the strength to work from the bottom, put myself through education and get a masters from one of the best schools in the world to now where I am making national ad campaigns for major corporations slinging with guys who have had very privileged backgrounds. No one would guess where I have come from, because I have never let my circumstances define me.

for me personally, it was moving to the Washington, D.C. area without a job lined up, working in a grocery store, while I interviewed for professional jobs, finally landing one, getting some good professional work experience that helped me land my current job in NYC. Not bad for a former shy kid from Indiana.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Reaching that state of mind where I'm happy and comfortable with who I am, where I'm at and what I want to achieve.

I suppose I could list multiple examples of things other can relate to, but I think I can summarize all of them by simply saying I've accomplished every single goal I've ever wanted to. That can range from buying a house, a new car, getting a new job, getting an advanced degree and professional training, moving someplace new, getting a better woman....all of those and more, I can honestly look back and say "I did it".
