"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.

White knights at bars

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

It's a bar you hit on women. Ofcourse the **** is sleazy. Your statement terms of white knight syndrome.
I have no problem with guys hitting on women if women are wanting to be hit on. Ive been a bouncer for years andcseen it night after night. What I have a problem with is guy continuing to hit on women who have made it really clear that they are not interested. Guy who grope every womean they meet are not that cool either. If the poster has any sort of game he wont be that guy.
Dont get me wrong. If you are getting it on in an alley somewhere or she is into you get as much tit grab as you can get. BRAVO.

But yeah, I am not being a whire knight when my job is to deal with complaints from women about guys being offensive, although I do get that it is a fine line sometimes.

I'm not seeing how any of these guys are really white knights. A white knight is a guy who wants to step in and "save" a girl, and goes overboard with it. These guys just seem like drunken idiots who see a guy stealing their girls, or stealing their targets, or having a little success with women, and they are maybe a little jealous and want to take him down a peg. Or just want to fvck with him because they are jackasses.

I don't know I'd say there's quite a bit of overlap there. All I did was take out the word "drunken" from the second quote.
 

"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 don't really think there's much overlap. The motivations are completely different. Seems like these guys are just jealous that someone else is taking their women, or their targets. I don't see them as looking to "save" the girls from being harassed or disrespected.

I think the motives are related, white knights are usually jealous that women end up with dudes they label as a$$holes. In the OP's case they were telling him to respect his girl and get a room, so they prob saw him as the a$$hole and were taking their drunken white knight frustrations out on him. But who knows for sure.

Sorry, but I've never met a bouncer who wasnt a white knight. It's literally what you guys are paid to do for the most part. Perhaps you are the exception.... But your post had hints of wk in there.

IMO, only white knights get jealous over such women in the first place and instigate violence. They are one in the same if you will.

Its all good. I do what my manager tells me to do whether I agree or not. I think that girls dress and act like drunken sluts quite often then get offended because a guy isn't the sort of guy that they wanted to hit on them. It pisses me off but when they come and sob to the usual blue pill manager I normally have and he says, "throw that ******* out" WTF am I supposed to do?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Yeah, I can understand that. I often wondered what it would be like to be a bouncer.

Depends on personality. You need a ****load of patience, dealing with drunken idiots all night. On a good night you are in a club filled with young women who want to have fun. If you have a bit of charm, you will get lucky.
On a bad night, the local gang wants to get in and **** gets exciting really fast or you spend the night dealing with puke-covered losers who thought they would pre-load on spirits 5 minutes before they get through the door.
The downside with being a bouncer is that you can't back down from trouble, whatever the odds are. If you do, you won't work again and every wannabe hardman knows you are 'that guy', The hours suck. The pay is not that great. Sometimes though you get to enjoy some good music and awesome eye candy.

I would say I'm going to protect a woman if she doesn't want the other guy hitting on her. Not because I'm jealous, not to score points with her. It's simply because I don't stand by watching someone being harrassed, which it is if she clearly do not want it. I would do the same if someone harrassed a guy.

Does that make me a white knight? Not by the definition I'm familiar with. As @zekko said, they step in to "save" a girl and goes overboard with it. Meaning they save women who don't need saving. I would ask if she needs any help, if no then she's in the situation voluntarily and thus it isn't harrassment.

Same goes for the situation of being a bouncer. You don't stop guys from hitting on girls for no reason, you just stop a guy from hitting on a particular girl who don't want to be hit on. Girls mostly get to the point of getting help because the guy doesn't accept the rejection, he has lost. Instead of going to the next like any sane man on this board would do, he instead delusionally continue to bother a woman thinking he can get his way. THAT is harrassment, it's as much a help to the loser guy as it is to the woman.

We even do it on this forum by telling a guy to "next", but we don't consider that white knighting do we? Even though it probably benefits the woman to finally get rid of a guy.

Your first sentence is extreme white knight syndrome. You should never feel any instinct to protect a strange.

Oh ok. If I ever see you getting the sh!t kicked out of you I'll just walk ignorantly by minding my own business. Because I shouldn't feel the need to help a stranger.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

White knights give woman "special rights" that they feel should be protected and enforced.

So while a decent person you'd hope would try to help someone else who is getting beat up or bullied. A white knight will take it a step further come to the rescue of a girl who isn't in any kind of danger but is just having these special illogical rights violated, i.e. she's not getting her way.

If you were here I would be the one beating the sh!t out of you. If anyone came to help I'd just say you'd prefer they mind their own business, then just continue.

Are you fvcking serious??! Do you not see how fvcked up that is?

What you're talking about has nothing at all to do with not white knighting. You're talking about not giving a single sh!t about other people. Why should anyone give a single sh!t about you? You don't fvcking deserve it.

I did dislike you based on your previous fvcked up statements, but thought you may not really be as crazy as I perceived. With this there's nothing left to doubt, I hate you, go fvck yourself.

It pains me to say it but I am going to agree with Grewd. I help people who need help. It doesn't make me a white knight. It means I am not an *******.

I recently watched American Sniper, and this reminded me of the part where the father teaches his kids to be sheepdogs, not wolves or sheep (The wolf is a bully, the sheep get victimized, and the sheepdogs help others out in need).

When I grew up, way back in the 60s, we were taught that we should help others in need. And that's the way it was back then. Flash forward several decades and you hear about guys getting mugged and beaten in the streets, or girls getting raped and beaten in the streets, and crowds of people stand by and watch. You hear about criminals setting traps by pretending to be in trouble, then attacking and robbing anyone who stops to help. How times have changed.

Grewd, I don't think zinc meant you any disrespect when you told you that you would be smart not to help him. That's the way people look at things these days. Don't get involved.

The term "white knight" comes from the code of chivalry that medieval knights went by. Now I have no problem with chivalry per se. The problem is that when you bring feminism into it, the feminist society and chivalry cannot co-exist because the very basis is that the "knight" is helping someone weaker. But feminism demands that men and women are equal in all ways, so that kills off chivalry. If women want men to take up their defense, they need to take the submissive position.
 

"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.
