"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.

Women lament men who "hatfish"

"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.

Double standards are bad for everyone, yet you can clearly see no one wants to show obvious flaws or a side of their body that bugs them.

Authenticity is key. Especially for the long-term, for the short-term not as much if goals are aligned that way.

I would want to screen out a person who didn't accept me for who I was. I.e. not over 6 foot or hitting some checkbox item on her dating wish list.

Where are the double standards? Both genders hate those who catfish.

Totally agree with you on authenticity. Why would you want a girl to be attracted to a fake version of yourself?

I had to read this thread to find out was "hatfishing" was.

I still can't figure out why all country music singers wear cowboy hats, that's always puzzled me.

I’m bald at the crown, but have a fairly normal (not receding) hairline in the front. So an online front pic of me could (arguably) be a bit deceiving, but it’s not like I’m purposely going to photograph the top back of my head and label it Pic #2.

That would be weird lol.

Where are the double standards?
Perhaps that's the wrong word. Just saying no one likes pictures that are deceiving. For example, I talked about being deceived on a recent Bumble date. Her pictures mostly showed her face and from above. When I met her in person, while she did have the cute face, she did have huge arms and a giant outward ring-shaped waste.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

So on one of my situations I'm looking at. 28 years old guy 23 years old lady. They married. No kids though. She's outta work for 6 months for something medical. She refused to help out around the house, cook or anything else to take a load off him. She feels like it means she's a "slave". . Nevermind that her man is SLAVING 60+ hours a week to bring money in the house with zero support. She's also getting depressed fro. Sleeping all day.

His sex is also shut down.

I pointed out that she could simply help out, do her part to support her man. That she'd become empowered and feel better from not being a leech....

Boy...

Once again online dating is a haven for women to judge the f*ck out of you.
The are looking for literally ANYTHING to find you unattractive. You could have lint on your shirt and she would write you off.
Quit wasting your time with shallow women.

The alternative being hookers or mgtow monk mode. Pick your poison.

There's no monogamy. Its not reality. I'll hook up casually but, that is it. No cohabitation. No marriage. Its not happening.

Hedonism and a life of debauchery ftw

School boy error.

Snap chat ftw
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

What kind of hairstyle do you rock? Buzzed, shaved, or just cut short?
Short and spiked but I typically would wear a hat backwards on dates and my success rate actually went up significantly when I started doing it

I'm bald and it doesn't seem to affect me, at least I don't notice it. When I went out last week I had a random chick with her boyfriend squeeze my face, number closed another chick who literally turned around and stared at me (creeped me out) after that went upstairs and had a girl say I have a pretty face and all the guys (mostly with hair) were ugly. The chick who squeezed my face was cute. Chick upstairs was chubby, but had a cute face and the chick downstairs was a HB 5. Not going to sit here and lie, I did have a hat on though. I do have the bald head shape, im ethnically mixed and when I did have hair it was kept to a short bald fade....so if it did affect my SMV it would be like .2. Had a chick say I would look overrated with hair

And I am chubby right now, but my advice for bald dudes and myself get chiseled!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
