I would go back and keep asking waitresses if they are Sarah Connor, so that machines could comfortably rule mankind, forcing them to toil at keyboards connected via Skynet. I gather that this idea is acceptable to your culture?
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're right, but the biggest problem is that most of the idiots actually believe Gore would have been different than Bush. The two parties represent the same monied interest. We would have still had wars for Israel.Potbelly said:What an idiot. Democracy is bullsh1t when most of the population is a composed of idiots.
Evidence: bush got elected....TWICE
Dare I ask why?Down Low said:I'd go back to the Roman Republic as a demigod seer. Get in good with the main politicians by giving them timely advice. Then I'd advise them to make peace with the barbarians by offering them vast territories in North Africa and the Middle East to rule as brutally as they wished. I'd skip ahead several years at a time so my lifetime could cover many centuries. I'd prevent the formation of an empire, and prevent it from splitting into West and East. I'd advance the armies into the Arabian peninsula and prevent Mohammedism from ever being invented. Generation after generation would steadily conquer everything between the Sahara and the Arctic -- then move east, crush the Mongols and other mounted steppe armies, definitively vanquish and colonize Persia and India -- and over a thousand years, make Eurasia into a single unified power that could overwhelm and dismember China and fvck it out of existence.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
You don't need a time machine for that. Just patienceDesdinova said:I'd travel to about 4 years into the future and fvck my ex's best friend's daughter (who would be 20 years old at that point). Then I'd tell my ex that I'm marrying the girl. The look on her face would be priceless.
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.
