"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.

On that note, I think Augustus, adopted child of Julius Caesar, was a pretty cool dude.

Despite the fact he was young, naive, and inexperienced, he managed to consolidate his power position, crush his far-more-experienced enemies, and turn the Roman Republic into a one-man dictatorship.
 

"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.

No you're not. I noticed it also...along with his signature. "For gold, God, and glory!" Athiest huh? Ooookayy. Athiesm is stupid anyways.

I'd have to say Shaun Alexander or Brett Favre. Shaun Alexander I just have to respect him because of the role model he presents to young kids, he doesn't fall into the stereotypical star athlete role. Brett Favre is just a badass, 2 hundred and how many consecutive starts now? Wow! Neither of them fit into the stereotypical stars.

But pretty much I tought myself how to be a man, gettin money, how to act, how to carry myself and such.

Don't hijack the thread with religious BS seriously it screws everything up and someone will close the thread it cuz it's "POLITICAL!" and it's BORING.

My heros are Clint Eastwood, Julius Ceaser, James Bond, Tyler Durden...but I gotta say my favorite is def Fedor Emelianenko Pride-UFC Fighter (AKA The Last Russian Emperor) Record 25-1, Current Heavy Weight Champ! seriously the best fighter ever he's got everything (Striking, Grappling, Submissions) and can kick ANYONE'S ASS including Tyson and Bruce Lee in their prime cuz he trains like a madman.
 

"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.

Ronaldinho.

Loves life, never stops smiling doing his job. Does what he loves and lives to do! Is not one bit conceited, and still gets embarassed when someone gives him a positive comment. Is nice to everyone. Hasnt gone all out trying to perfect his teeth and his image, but is happy how he is. Not to mention, he is the best damn football player on the planet!

No one chose Don Juan? Interesting. His history is a little unclear, and many have a different take on him.

Maybe its just nostalgia, but Sean Connery as James Bond: Pvssy Galore anyone?
