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.
When you say he was "roughing up" your cousin's teenagers, what do you mean? Like was he was physically attacking them? Because you go on to say he walked past them, as if nothing really happened.RangerMIke said:
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.
The way I read the story, this was a STRANGER who entered the house hopped up on drugs. Maybe I'm wrong about that, and if so maybe the OP can clear it up. But I know of several similar stories in the last few years in my experience. Some psychotic, drugged up (or both) screwball entering someone's house, standing on someone's porch, going door to door, or following people down the street. Hasn't happened to me, fortunately, but it has happened to friends of mine.Yewki said:
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.
He's probably an actual wolf IRL and is too busy leading his pack through the woods on an epic hunt to check his computer... alpha as f*ckzekko said:Maybe he's so alpha he's in jail. Or is too busy having sex to get onto the computer
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.
