"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.

I've been doing some fitness youtubing lately and I've noticed that the vegans (Vegan Gains, Light Twins in particular) have their stingers out for guys like Mike Chang. I mean, like true HATE. I don't get it, it's like their entire agenda is by hating on other guys, then claiming that others are haters when they get called out for being little pussball haters themselves.

Seems to me this vegan fad is in the same vein as most liberal crap in general, laced with arrogance and elitism. People just need another way to feel better and smarter than others.
 

"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.

I hate vegans. I believe their thought process is completely irrational & illogical. Also they all seem to be attention *****s and as you so illustrated; Haters.

I was a vegetarian for seven years, a "vegan" for a few of those. I put the word vegan in quotes, because there is really no such thing. In modern society, it is impossible to get by without using products that contain animal parts. Glue is one good example - the glues that hold together your shoes, or your car's interior are made from hoofs. So if you want to call yourself a vegan, you had better not be wearing shoes or riding in vehicles.

regarding Vegan Gains... that dude just uses drama to attract viewers since his only source of income is youtube ad revenue...

In general vegans are grumpy and unpleasant to be around. Maybe they feel some sort of elitism... maybe they are grumpy because of the restrictive nature of vegan diets...maybe a combination of both...

when I tried to go vegetarian for about a month my sex drive dropped significantly and I found I was alway jittery, grouchy or irritable...

I think vegans get hateful because they can't stand to see un necessary cruelty to animals. Eat your meat if you must, but don't have animals cramped in warehouses for their lives in substandard conditions, living a life of torture similar/if not worse than the Nazi concentration camps. Go get your meat from a farm where the animals have a some standard of living. :)
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

He also got a vasectomy, so I guess it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Haha he straight bred himself out of the gene pool. What a loser.

This.

I cant stand most vegans for this reason. Self-righteous pricks. Like if you don't want to eat animal products, fine. But save the rhetoric, nobody cares about your crusade. Fact of the matter is most of us are accomplices in killing whether we like it or not, we just aren't getting our hands dirty. Even vegans.

IMO, if you eat or use animal products and aren't willing to at least be a part of that process, you are a coward.

But it's necessarily an elitist mindset. If EVERYBODY on earth stopped eating meat, or only ate "free range" animal meat there'd only be enough space for about 1/100 of the population.

So only a few of the "chosen ones" can attain veganhood. Not unlike Jehova's Witnesses.

Most vegans and vegetarians on the planet don't know what those words mean. They are just too poor to afford meat.

The only sound macro-level argument in favor of meat-eating relates to land that is not suitable for agriculture. Sheep and goats, especially, can graze on land where no food crops will grow, thus making food where there would be none otherwise. Beyond that, meat takes a lot more resources to produce less food. If not for the massive agricultural subsidies in the US, we'd actually know the real cost of things.
 

"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.
