"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. Salesperson analogy
You are a sales man. Your product is your self. Successful sale = sex. Ways to increase your sales:
1. Approach more people. It's a numbers game. An unsuccessful sale is nothing personal. People either like your product or not.
2. Deliver an effective sales pitch. Know the best way to appeal to your target customers and aim to reach that advanced level of salesmanship.
3. Improve your product (self). This will increase your chances of a sale and increase your confidence in your product, which will further boost your chances of success.

II. Videogame analogy
You are a character in a Role Playing Game eg. World of Warcraft. Your goal is to level up, unlock new items, and defeat bosses. The more you level up, the better weapons you can equip. Better weapons = hotter girls. Items = wealth. Boss battles = the AFC within you. If you die, the game simply restarts, so you try again. No big deal. The more times you try again, the more successful you will be in the game. Very simple.

I think these analogies have been used before, but I kind of came up with them again on my own and wanted to record them for my own reference. Please do whatever you like with them.
 

"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.

Those analogies won't help anyone, especially the videogame one. Friends and nice clothes are weapons, confidence and game are skills to be leveled up, women are enemies that give you lots of xp, and other dudes are other players trying to kill them. The fat jealous ****blocking friend is the boss. That makes much more sense, though it's still worthless. Was a fun way to kill two minutes.

And why aren't you out trying to get laid right now? It's friday. I'm staying in because I'm a college kid and none of the frats are partying because they're out collecting money for charity. And I'm not liking it.

I swear I have thought of the video game analogy when I was really high once. It made perfect sense and it's a great analogy.
 

"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.
