Why do men have midlife crisis? What are the symptoms of midlife crisis? Does anyone know the answer?
"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.

"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.

Anyone can have a midlife crisis, not just men. I suggest you take an intro psych class at your local JC.

From what I've seen and heard it usually tied into the lack of accomplishments that they are truly passionate about; mostly because they don't really know what they are passionate about. The majority of their accomplishments are those which he felt helped define him by society's standards and not his own.
"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.

Am kind of in a midlife crisis rightnow, basicly I never accomplish what I wanted when I was younger such as: spending my youth having fun rather then working or being too lazy and miss the gold rush etc... then that am older I tried to relive to youth year by driving nice car, buy nice clothes and do things I shouldn do because am not at that age anymore. While doing it I realize that it just not for me, so am stuck not knowing where to go.
Yea thats what mid-life crisis is in a nutshell.
