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.
Go for it, champ. Let's see what you can dig up.TonyBaloney said:I dont need to ask any other questions of a little lame s hit like you - going to start researching and mocking the f uck out of your posts - any little c unt like you who sits his sad ass down and spits out garbage like u do has no game, no style and is a bitter and twisted man looking for a scapegoat for his own inadequacy..... `LOVESHOGUN THE INADEQUATE`
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.

You, on the other hand, wrote a thread idolizing your jobless friend who knocked up some women and is living off of her welfare. You call him... what's the word?
Oh, right: "Alpha."
I'm worried about you, Tony. You sure you want to pick this fight?
I dunno Iceberg. My beta self grew up playing lots of video games, and I kick me some ass at Donkey Kong.Iceberg said:My money's on Tony Bologna. He's got a mind like a steel trap and an attitude to match.
Oh, it's on like Donkey Kong.
Bravo, bravo. You hit the bullseye on that one.TonyBaloney said:I am on here "LOVESHOGUN" not to learn anything. I came on here originally seeking the viewpoints of what I would call the old guard; men who through their own minds are able to seduce the highest quality women.
I never posted a blog up until joining 5 months ago. You know why I never posted, ever before? Because my main interests have been, my business, my friends (seeing them in person) and women, lots of high quality women. I never asked one question of anyone on how to pull; i just used iniative and self esteem: you have to look honestly as yourself, after reading some of your posts, and ask yourself HOW you can get to the place i've been for 20 years, and will be for 20 more. You wont make that child inside of you grow up by throwing slurs at men, on a site, you might if you spit straight at a man eyeball to eyeball, it certainly feels good to be able to argue at a man face to face until he's fearful and backs off, but insulting a poster as you did shows the pathetic depths to which you have sunk. This, I thought, was meant to be a supportive community of like minded men either like yourself, asking for advice, or like me dispensing it, or comparing notes: calling a man a loser cause he's seen a certain amount of seasons and he's divorced is the height of a person who is so bored of his life, that he's unable to GO OUT OF HIS ROOM and do something like.....er....talking to a woman. Sad
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.
My self-esteem doesn't come from anyone but myself. So I'm not fazed by either destructive criticism or outright disrespect. What I believed 25 years ago isn't what I believe today. Over time I learned that right and wrong are mere labels. Rather, we all become better men as we gain personal experience and as we heed the hard-gotten lessons of others.loveshogun said:Bravo, bravo. You hit the bullseye on that one.
More, please.
