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.
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.
If they have serious repurcussions they can change. IE: going to jail, all friends turn on them, etc. Otherwise they get worse.I had recently dated a girl who has cheated several times. I know this because it was with me.
In your opinion, do you guys think cheaters ever reform or is it a character flaw? What about women who are on mood stabilizers?

Yep 100%. Problem is there are so many beta cucks out there that more than often these women face almost no consequence to their actions and so it subconciously reinforces the notion that it's ok. This is why they get worse.If they have serious repurcussions they can change. IE: going to jail, all friends turn on them, etc. Otherwise they get worse.
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.
It's a person I've known for a long time whom I've had several flings with. First one was about six years ago on her first husband. Most recently was the past few months on her current bf. About six times. And that's just with me. I'm not sure what else she has done in the past.Two of my non-negotiable immediate disqualifications`from emotional investment--ever.

Look, I get it. Been in almost the exact situation. You think she only cheated with you because you're so awesome--and you're feeling like the alpha of alphas and your ego doesn't want to deal with the fact that you're probably dealing with someone who isn't emotionally/mentally stable (thus invalidating the validation that feels so damned good right now--to the extent that you're trying to rationalize the prospect of keeping her around). That's real talk--do what you're gonna do but promise to update this thread so that others can learn
On another note (in a more general sense), every girl will cheat in the right circumstance--but the specificity of those circumstances will vary widely from girl to girl (and a considerable percentage of girls won't ever have all those factors align and actually go through with it). Lots of girls. I'd find one who has no history of cheating.
She can be "broken" out of her childish cheating habit but there must be repurcussions. Remove your leg of the table, any of your support and communication. That would be a repercussion. Also revealing her to others she is cheating on or stealing from. Will be other repurcussions. Cheaters can change but they have to pay for their actions.Its quite obvious that this girl is severely damaged goods on meds. I assume that the OP is a normal healthy human being. Outside of her being a random unattached booty call, why deal with her nonsense? Have more options....
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.
Mood stabilizers and cheating kind of go hand and hand don't they. It is an easy excuse for a girl who wants to blame her bad behaviour on anything except herselfI had recently dated a girl who has cheated several times. I know this because it was with me.

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.
