"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.

Were you surprised that the Blue Jays won last night?

"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'm not a huge baseball fan but I did watch Game 7 last night, what a nail biter! And congrats to the Dodgers, both teams played great.

I'm curious what y'alls favorite play/hit is generally. Obviously a home run is exciting especially when bases are loaded but more exciting than that (imo) is a clean line drive down the center with three men on base.

Watching the outfield/infield players scrambling as the guys on base all come home, that's exciting.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won that game and the series for the Dodgers, truly talented player, his parents must be so proud.

Apparently it was one of the best series ever, but since I live in Toronto, hopefully one day I’ll get to appreciate it lol
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Cannot believe the Jays found a way to blow the game two games in a row

He picks up the trash in the dugout after the game. The Japanese teach young people to respect the playing field. It's part of the martial arts honor system, respect the dojo. There's a spiritual significance to it.

If you had bet a dollar on the Dodgers to win the world series, and that bet was placed before the first game of the entire season had been played, that dollar would now be worth....$1.20. That's how heavily favored they have been. So it was a small miracle that the series was so close.

They should redo the series in case it was big fluke lol

Awful way to end the series on a GIDP everyone and their grandma saw coming.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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 haven't followed baseball in over 30 years, but I did watch some of this World Series including all of Game 7, even though I'm not a fan of either team. That was a great World Series and a wild Game 7. A memorable one for sure.

I would like to have a Brooklyn Dodgers cap though, I think those are cool. Not because I like the Dodgers or even Brooklyn, I just think they're a cool piece of retro. Also, Ben Grimm wears one in the new Fantastic Four movie.
