"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.

Nah, he never did a 'Dio' album either, must be a Greatest Hits or something.

A quality track in either case! :)

For the record, my favourites'd be mostly be hard/rock and metal:

Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Saxon (most underrated metal band ever), Judas Priest, Dio, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Edguy/Avantasia, Iron Saviour, Krokus, Savatage, early Queensryche, Motorhead, Bruce D_ickinson and Rob Halford's solo material, Accept, Manowar, Ozzy, Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, some Lacuna Coil, some Kamelot, The Transformers Movie soundtrack. This is what I usually listen to.

I can tolerate stuff like Scorpions and AC/DC though not in large doses.

When not rocking out I like Radiohead (OK Computer and earlier), early Blur, Whitesnake, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Mavericks, some Sting, Cream, Bad Company, The Who and even some country stuff (when I'm feeling really sappy).

Though my absolute favourite non-metal band are Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler's solo stuff. It is truly beautiful, brilliant soft rock music that you can't help but love. I'd recommend them to anyone.
 

"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
