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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You fail to understand ...Never heard of her. Reading the link, I gather she became a sex guru in the 1980s when she was +54yrs old. I fail to understand why anyone in his right mind would follow a +54yrs old twice divorced woman who isn't even physically attractive for advice about sex.
I guess this must be one of those 'only in America' things.
Given that we live in an era where way too many of us have mistaken expressing ourselves like Dale Harding
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.
Wow, Cuckoo's Nest, there's a movie you don't hear much about anymore.
There's a lot of first-rate movies which we only hear whispers of now, on account of a miniscule yet highly vocal and indomitable sliver of society deeming them either "Problematic", or(On the other end of the sociopolitical continuum) "Blue Pill". While I enjoyed a few of the early MCU flicks, barely* any Hollywood film made from '16-today boasts writing this memorable
I forgot that she was even alive until I saw this post. I had seen her in some media a few times as a teenager in the 1990s/early 2000s. Even then, I thought it was odd that an old lady was talking about sex so freely.
She was blunt and very matter of fact about sex. In those times it was taboo to talk about it. Funny to hear this grandma looking old lady talk about stuff people were doing anyway.Never heard of her. Reading the link, I gather she became a sex guru in the 1980s when she was +54yrs old.

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 wonder how many lives she ruined? Lol
I love Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Best movie I've seen in the last 10 years or so.
I don't remember her as being that degenerate, but your point is definitely valid.
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.
Shannen Doherty just rounded out the trio. The Deities will likely be giving us a respite for now
Wow, I'll have to torrent it now!
Better than "Joker"?
+ King of Comedy. But that was its intent I think.
If you're in the front row but looking back, you're in the last row.
