"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.

WTF? Did I sprain my jaw?

Last Wednesday at the gym, in the middle of a tough set of chinups involving lots of extra muscle tension to finish the last reps, I experienced what felt like a knife stabbing into my upper left jaw, between my ear and where my upper-left wisdom tooth would have grown in. This has happened before while lifting weights or while screaming along to music in my car, but to a lesser extent, and now, it slightly came back while I was yawning. What the heck is this?
 

"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.

From anatomy i can tell you the place you described is where your zygomatic bone connects with your mandibular fossa on your mandible (jaw).

I'm guessing you over extended your mandible and it didn't go straight back into the fossa like was supposed to and grinded or pushed against something causing the knife like pain.

I'm no md though, i would have it checked out if it continues to cause your trouble.

EFFORT: Thanks. It's gone now, hopefully never to return.
geez he is not a troll, he wasnt saying what you said was made up, he was saying the stuff the other guy said sounded so real and scientific that there is no way he could just be making it up as he goes.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yeah, that happened to me last week when I was trying to haul back a triple-decker turkey sub.

Rest it, don't talk a whole hell of a lot for a couple days if it ever happens again.

I get that problem very often, had it about 4 times in 2005 year so far

I get it everytime someone gives me an uppercut/someone shoulders me from below/a basketball hits me in the face (somehow)/someone elbows me from below/i fall on a table or chair chin first

errm yeah but anyways that thing never last for more than 6 hours for me, personally I ice the jaw from the skin area where it hurts and it goes away near immediately

im not sure what happened...but this has happened to me once. One time i was just opening my mouth and flexing my jaws, then i heard a crack/snap noise come from it. before i knew it, my left jaw was in pain anytime i widened my jaw.

but after a few days, the pain slowly disappeared and my jaw now is fine.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
