"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.

Any horror movie fans?

I'm finding most American horror movies are garbage these days.

Some Korean horror films are creepy as hell though, like really sinister.

Personally I'm a fan of old school 80's and 90's horror, like

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

I like some types of horror movies, if I can stomach it. The types I like, is where it comes with a twist BAD ending, and then it cuts off to some cool end credit song sequence when you are still trying to process what just happened there. I've seen this in Life (2017) (end song was "spirit in the sky), or Smile (2022) (end credit song was "lolipop"), or Crawl (2019) (was horrific but had a happy twist, but it was quite an ordeal getting there, "see you later allegator", and of course Brightburn (2019) which ends with Bllie Elish song (I'm a Bad Guy).

One of the craziest horror movies I watched is called "The Sadness"

It's a Chinese/Taiwanese project I think...

Honestly it's fvcking insane and sometimes a little disturbing haha.

I don't think YouTube even lets you watch the Trailer, unless you confirm that you are over the age of 18

But yeh, I find foreign horror movies are way better than US ones.

Yep, big fan. It is hard to come by a true horror movie that can scratch that itch for me nowadays. But I must admit I have a high threshold and tolerance so my standards are high.

"Hollywood" horror movies are subpar. Even the new Exorcist movie was a mistake in my opinion, did it have okay moments? Yes. But as with most sequels, it felt forced and in this case, very disconnected from the original. The only thing that connected it was the "demon" mentioning Regan and the mum. But it felt super forced. And too tacky.

However, some Japanese, Korean, and Spanish independent films are good enough to scratch that itch. "Veronica" is a start, and so is "Rec (only the first one).

But it depends on your horror taste. I am big into Demonology, exorcisms, and hauntings especially if they are based on true events. Amytiville is a great example of old-school horror that got me when I first watched it. Nowadays I can tell my tolerance is higher because I continue to watch those classics and fascinates me more than scares me.

Bottom line, I would look for international independent films.
 

"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.

Yeh I find recent American horror is garbage.

I didn't even bother with the new Excorcist movie, as I knew it would be a train wreck.

I have two possession movie recommendations for you. The first one is Korean & is called "The Wailing" damn this movie is a near masterpiece. It has one of the most intense exorcism scenes I have ever witnessed on film.

The other film is quite recent & it's an Argentinian possession movie. It's called When Evil Lurks.. This one is fvcking insane.. I mean some scenes in this movie are damn shocking.

I highly recommend you watch these. Will link you the trailers.

The Wailing

There are movies that I I feel are not scary but I still enjoyed them. One example that comes to mind is Dr. Sleep.
 

"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.

I love them. The last Halloween film was good. Loved the Friday the 13th suspense movies.

I've watched most of them.

I love the suspense movies.
