"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.

Would you ask for your stuff back?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Depends what you want back. You sounds bitter and want it back out of spite.

Off course I'll ask for it back. If it had a sentimental or monetary value attached.

"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.

Stuff you bought for her? like jewelry? (engagement ring excluded), why would you want it back? just to spite her?

Stuff like your belongings? you should

Stuff like joint owned (hopefully not a house), you could try.

It all comes down to the importance of the item to you rather than the satisfaction of hurting the other person by taking it from them.

If you sincerely care for the items, get them. If you don't stop wasting time dwelling on past and begin your healing process. Regardless she's gone.

Why should she want to keep it? Just to spite him?

Agreed with Stevo.

-Gifts that you gave her (apart from engagement ring, or something of similar monetary value, e.g. car) should not be claimed back. I had a chick do this to me, which is incredibly spiteful and make you look like you were buying her affection, rather than simply giving to her because you wanted to (at the time, regardless of your feelings now).

-Mutually-owned items of significant monetary/sentimental value (car/pet dog/music/art) that you want or need for yourself, yes take back.

-Stuff that was yours anyway (car/pet dog/music/art) prior to being with her, or that you bought for yourself, yes, definitely take back. It's not hers and she can't argue otherwise.

Before you do, jus ask yourself what you want and why. Will having this stuff make your life better in the long run because you want or need it, even without her? Or do you just want an excuse to be in continued contact with her. Or do you just want to get back at her.

Of course its spite...if she was wearing a timex before and now she has a Patek on a wrist...wouldnt you want it back?
 

"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.

an engagement ring signifies a bond between two people. when that bond is broken it would be the decent thing to hand the ring back to signify the bond is broken and the two people free to go their separate ways.

when you buy a $40k patek you are giving someone a gift from yourself as a symbol of your affection for them at the time with no obligation for the receiving party to give it back otherwise what kind of a symbol what it be if it were conditional? you are totally free to ask for it back but as possession is 9/10ths of the law it might prove difficult.

How about, why are you spending 40K on a watch, and why are you spending that much on a gift? F*ck that; if I was given that as a gift, I wouldn't want to give it back either. If I had that money, I wouldn't be so careless with it.

I would suggest you look in to your legal rights to revoke the gift; seems like unless you actually have some written conditions of giving, you may not have the right to reclaim. Any law bods in the house....? :

Finally, just because you have the cash, doesn't mean you have to spend it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Who in their right mind buys a woman who's not their mother or daughter or wife (even questionable, better be joint named) a $40,000 anything? that pussie must have taken you somewhere you've never been.

Ok seriously, I dont see myself buying anything that highly priced for a girl but if I did, with my present mind frame I would definitely ask for that back especially if I'm still making payments to pay it off. Lawd have mercy. But if I'm ricccch then I'd over look it.

We on the same page now?:up: I definitely would not go back to take the bras I bought for a girl just because. .
