"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's the biggest age difference you've had?

So last night I got the phone number and a date with an HB8 bartender. Now the thing is, she is 23 and I am a 40.

I had been getting good vibes from her but ruled her out because of her age. But the owner of the bar (my age) told me the other night that 2 of his bartenders (one being her) has a huge crush on me. He said "if they are over 18 they are not too young".

Anyhow, I'm wondering - have any of you dated a girl that much younger? Is it doomed to fail? Advice?
 

"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.

I'm only 25. I once dated a woman who was 30. It doesn't really work; at that age a lot of women get jittery about their futures.

How about you try it and get back to us?

If she has a job, is out of college, and she likes you, I see no problem with at least getting to know her better.

You're coming up with problems before you've even taken the first step. Get out there!

I would go for it. She's a 23 yo bartender so she's not gf material, but solid FB material. I think you'll be kicking yourself later if you don't.

I haven't had anyone that young though because I got in the game late. However, in August, I was 34 and had a ONS with a 26 yo Asian girl.

That's great to hear. I guess it's always up to the girl, and up to us to stay in shape.

Depends. In America I would say she need to be within a year of you. Maybe older. Old is hot in America. Single mothers and professional women. Yummy. In Eastern Europe I would say that she needs to be a schoolgirl. It is a cultural thing. Seeing that none of you will ever learn a language like Russian and then travel I hope you like sloppy seconds. :)

A famous Russian couple always in the media. He is 50 plus and she is his 17 year old wife. It is sweet. She is probably more mature than any 40 year old American woman. Russian speakers would find the idea of single mothers and older women to be perverted. Like I said. It is a cultural thing. That dude looks great for a Russian man that age! That is what a young wife and baby does for you :yes:

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Just got out of a relationship with a 16 year old... She told me she was 18 and had no reason to think otherwise for the 2 months we were dating. Luckily for me age of consent here is 16 so legally I'm okay haha.

Went out with a 26 year old when I was 20. Not great after the first few months: she was way more experienced than me and manipulative to boot.

sounds really good for you....not much of a big deal with some chicks. some of them like older guys because they might have more experience, they are mature, and they usually have a good job. I know a few girls from high school and college and they are dating guys in their early to late 30's and its going well. I fact, my f*** buddy has a sister who is 21 and she is dating a guy that is 31 or 32. so if they like you they like you, age doesnt really matter to some.

I had been getting good vibes from her but ruled her out because of her age. But the owner of the bar (my age) told me the other night that 2 of his bartenders (one being her) has a huge crush on me. He said "if they are over 18 they are not too young".

you are already creating mental problems for yourself with the negative thinking of the age difference and by thinking this way...don't do that.... you should go by with what you know and what signs you are getting from this girl. you got her number, getting good vibes from her, and even your friend the bartender, says she likes you. That is what you should go by because you have the evidence that she does. You got a number, I'm sure she doesn't give it to everyone, you got good vibes, thats what you go by, and your friend confirmed it, So why are you ruling her out? Everything is positive so far, go with it, and dont worry about the age difference, because she doesn't seem to care, and if you worry about it, you will only create problems for yourself with negative mental thinking, when you shouldn't be at all.


Anyhow, I'm wondering - have any of you dated a girl that much younger? Is it doomed to fail? Advice?

Why do you think it would be doomed to fail? Again, your putting negative ideas into your head worrying about the age gap when there is no reason to. She likes you, so that is all you should care about.

The only way it will fail, is if you start thinking negative like you are now, and making a big deal out of it. She likes you and there is no reason to think negative. So just forget the age difference issue, and act like you have been around her, the guy she has a crush on. If you start acting weird about the age gap then she will pick up on it and then it will fail. Just be the guy she likes and knows you as, and there will be no problems. She likes you better than guys my age, that has to tell you something right? You still
still have it and can still get the hot chicks. You should feel proud. Have fun and DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE AGE GAP....because to her, it doesn't mean much, so it shouldn't mean anything to you. Let us know how it goes.

I think he was referring to older guys being with younger girls.

I'm not that old enough yet to have a big age gap, but for me was last year and she was 18.
 

"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.
