"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.

In Diesel's guide to Bulking Up, he says "no machines" for most muscle groups. I'm assuming he's talking about those large machines you see in gyms vs. free weights.

My question is why not machines? What is the difference between machines and free weights?

Thanks!

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.

Do squats on a smith machine, then do real ones. Do a bench press machine, then do dumbell bench.

Free weights work the stabilizer muscles and require much more raw power and control. Machines work one muscle, freeweights use many. It increases hormone output due to more complex work. It widens your frame because of more stress to your skeletal system. It's just gooder.
