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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Not to be rude or anything pairplus, because I usually like your posts alot, but I have to disagree with you on this point.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:Ive blown this question a few times becuase I read the girls type wrong and therefore gave the wrong answer.
I agree with the rest of your post, but how does this even compute? If you have a sh!tload of core confidence etc. you won't be mulling over and trying to micromanage every detail of your actions, this would be insecurity. If you mean that he should stop being insecure and become confident, well I'd say it's better to try and not give a fvck, at first you lie to yourself that you don't care, but then you really don't. Somehow then, confidence gets a place to grow.narcissist said:Obviously go by the fundamentals such as having a sh*t load of core confidence and being ****y and funny, but DO NOT begin formulating and contemplating granular factors.
