I would personally like to slap this motherfvcker across the face.
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.
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.
I'll help you.I would personally like to slap this motherfvcker across the face.
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.
women with beards... is nasty!Didnt really listen it all but it looks strange to see a man that moves his eyes and eyebrows so much while talking.
Ehhh, maybe in modern civilized societies somewhat, but territories are conquered and nations are built by amoral men. What is right and moral is subjective. I'm sure the Brits thought it was wrong, when a bunch of radicals dumped their tea in the Boston harbor. It's the same reason I don't sympathize with the native or slave arguments. Raiding, raping, pillaging and enslaving has been going on since the dawn of man. Do you honestly think a few decades of technology changes what is in every man? It's easy to forget where we come from with all these creature comforts afforded to us by who? Amoral men.The issue is that the media portrays masculinity as violence, abuse, power, greed, and so many other horrible things. Those are not tied to masculinity at all, those are weak minded individuals seeking to control others.
A little too simplistic. People have a dual nature. We are where we're at as a result of both moral and immoral acts. It's not right to say the only good things we have are strictly the result of evil. If men were pure evil, they'd never have stopped the raping and pillaging to work on things like medicine, building civilization, etc.It's easy to forget where we come from with all these creature comforts afforded to us by who?

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.
Yea, I agree for the most part. Amoral actions pave the way and like I said, right and wrong, evil and good are subjective. Survival is the only right, imo. Thinking things couldn't get that "simple" again is naive. For some ppl, it still is really that simple. I like to think that I have morals and values for the most part, but you put a man in a position, where he has to do what he has to do to make it, you see how much your theoretical and metaphorical morals and values hold weight.A little too simplistic.

I agree with everything except the bold. I think good/evil is pretty iron-clad. Society shames certain things given the social climate, but what's right and wrong is always still there, just twisted.Yea, I agree for the most part.

Do you think the terrorists aboard Flight 93 represented masculinity any less than the passengers? I don't think good/evil are so ironclad. Ideology and the struggle over ideals has been there since day 1. I don't believe in good vs evil as much as I believe in us vs them.I agree with everything except the bold.

As far as survival, I don't think that's a right at all. You can control 80% of what happens to you, not 100%. The only freedom we really have is how we mentally respond to what happens to us. No one can take that away from you.
Again, we live in a very comfortable bubble, in which a huge portion of the world doesn't know. This isn't the reality for many. Do you care to take a guess as to how and why we are "blessed"/able to live this way?As far as survival, I don't think that's a right at all. You can control 80% of what happens to you, not 100%.
