"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.

Yo, Can we PLEASE STOP with the #'s rating system?

"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.

Julian- Its fairly obvious that you don't see value in a more analytical approach. I get what you are saying and there is some validity to it. You don't like numbers, you advise to go by "feeling", don't think so much, take a simpler approach. You don't see value in details and that is fine. You probably don't like psychology/sociology either. That's fine too, everybody is different, but just because it doesn't suit your tastes doesn't mean there isn't validity to the other side of the spectrum. There happens to be a lot of highly rational/analytical minds that post on this forum so you are going to see what you are seeing. You might try accepting that and use it to enrich your own understanding. A big part of personal growth is learning to accept others for what they offer, not asking them to stop because of what you don't like about them. Many times its those that you despise that end up teaching you the most.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I personally prefer the HB number rating system over posters actually providing pictures as it gives the forum a better mental imagery of what the HB really looks like. You know since pictures are taken by HB's using filters, those dog face mask cartoons, angles, makeup, camouflage clothing and whatnot.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

What's the difference between an 8 and a 9

About 5x the entitlement, and 10x the narcissism.
Building on this:

The simple law of supply and demand shows that 9s appear almost 5-10x less frequently than 8s, dependent on location.

More demand, less supply, drives the market's value higher. We are comparing an 8 who gets approached maybe a few times a day to a 9 who gets approached everywhere, offered modeling jobs, worshipped, stalked, and has already dated some high-profile men. Very different conditioning, experiences, and motivations between 8s and 9s indeed. Ratings are just one descriptive technique among many to qualify a scenario.

I have said on here many times that my grading scale is fvckable and not fvckable.
Agree.

I think guys only care about:

- weight
- age
- normal looking (no physical defects)

Anything else guys would have sex with in 11 seconds. All the other stuff: she's bitchy, she's annoying, she's has too many orbiters, etc, are ridiculous excuses. There is no way any red blooded male in 2017 in North America, especially on here, would pass up sex with any average looking girl.

Great topic, OP! I have to say I totally agree.

I propose a new system (though one is really not needed but here it is):

Hot

Not Hot

Bangable

Simple and brings context, in my opinion.

She's Hot.

She's definitely Bangable.

She's Not Hot. (But I'm banging her for the moment)

Trump age plays in. Self respect increases libido decreases. Even 10 years ago I could put up with just about anything to bang an attractive girl. Can't be bothered l
Placating or reframing a b1tch anymore just to get the puss.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I really don't care if people use numbers... it's a good reference for how attractive THEY think a chick is. My 9 is another dudes 5. If you don't keep this in mind I agree with the OP it's meaningless. If you are going to give advice and a guy is making an @ss of himself with a chick a guy says in a 9... well it happens, and he just needs to understand the nature of chicks. If he says he's making a fool of himself with a 5.... well you have some kind of self loathing motherfvcker than need to work on his self esteem.

The number measures a single dimension; namely, the appearance of objective beauty. Women in the flesh are of course 'three dimensional', but that is harder to communicate and objectify. To be attractive and desirable, which can only be experienced in the first person, a woman has to score well in at least two dimensions.
