"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Out of curiosity, do you guys ever drink wine?

If so, what kind do you get?
 

"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.

Franzia, the "wine in a box" company, makes a sangia that I really like. $12 US for a 5L box. Lower alcohol than other wines, but not as headache inducing, either.

I always cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food…
Usually a high quality white zin.
 

"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.

I like my wine white. Red generally gives me heartburn.

But on the same topic, brewing your own wine can be fun. I've got fruit trees in my yard, and I've been dying to try making booze straight from apples and grapes.

I drink mostly white wine, preferably Chardonnay grapes and preferably Chablis, but others work too. I occasionally drink red wine too, I really like Australian Shiraz wines.

I drink wine maybe 40% of the times I drink, if not it's mostly craft beers. I usually don't drink what everyone else is drinking.

I'm okay with white wine, red wine for me is an instant headache in a bottle.

Was more a suds and shots guy. I don't drink much if any these days.

I drink locally made wine, it's $3 for 1.5 liters. Anything at a store is either cheap trash from which you get a headache or heartburn, or the good stuff is really expensive, but then again good stuff compared to local home made wine is trash, even if it's from France or Italy.

I make wine myself from my own grapes, but I don't get a lot of it, just 35 liters.

I don't get the whole wine culture, when you pay a whole sht load of money for a bottle which is less than a liter. Of course women are into wine, it's glamour.
 

"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.

I love it. As much as I can, I try to pair it with the food. If you do your homework before dinner with a chick you can come off looking like you "know" wine which can be an indicator of high(er) value and a way to help seal the deal. Also, a good cabernet with steak is fan-effing-tastic. Check out a book called: "What to drink with what you eat". It breaks down different wines to pair with food based on what either what wine you have or what food you are going to eat.

I love some wine. Usually Cab or Merlot. Can do many brands.
