"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.

Natural Amazingness VS. learning "skills" or tricks

Mama's advice was bullsh!t. (well not completely, but it sent the wrong message) The key to learning any skill is practice, that's how you get to be your best at it.
I don't have a lot of time to really comment on every alternapoint made, however I will use this quote to make a specific point.

I am not talking about learning new skills or people skills at all, for that matter.

The main point I want to get across is that at pretty much everyone's core, they have something really cool going on for them. And they need to recognize that. What it is, and how to really see that says a lot about who they are, and who they need to be hanging with. If you are more concerned with your love for comic books and your natural artistic ability, then you are going to attract someone who really digs that about you easier and better than learning some hand trick to try and attract the Britney Spears crew.

------------------

The first point to take away is that really representing your own talents make you automatically passionate and natural with something.

And the second point is that the people you attract with that particular passion will be the best people for you to be around, anyways.

-------------------------

The body language point Warrior74 made was great, however that is a whole other post.

Great discussion so far, by the way. Some of you who recognize what draws people to you, should elaborate for others, or maybe start a thread in the tips section. Seems like some good knowledge.
 

"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.
