"She's Out of Your League"

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.

A Billionaire but still a Beta Chump

When Elon Musk split up with wife, Talulah Riley, for the first time, he told the whole world.

"It was an amazing four years. I will love you forever," the entrepreneur Tweeted to the British actress in January 2012. "You will make someone very happy one day."

I suppose a 19 million settlement 2nd time round is still chump change to this billionaire -- but this little known actress played it smart. Only got $4m first divorce, so married and divorced again for a pay rise.
 

"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.

No Musk fan, but what we don't see here are the NDAs involved and other possible covenants which prevent her from selling all kind of scoop to tabloids and the like or writing a memoir, maybe for even more than 17 million over time. 5% interest on a billion is $50,000,000 a year, so he's paying her a pittance to keep her mouth shut in all likelihood. Well worth it from a PR standpoint for someone with those assets and a public company that could lose more than 17 million of market cap in an hour if certain disclosures were made about personal life or a scandal erupted. No idea whether he's a beta chump or not, but this settlement doesn't speak to that at all.

Man this system pisses me off. How someone can just spread their legs and come away with a million dollars WHILE at the same time, they can collectively run around still bashing men, saying they are being oppressed, saying they don't earn as much as men, saying men are deadbeats, etc., etc.

And folks have the nerve to say, "Tenacity, getting married isn't all that bad..." Pffftttttt lol.

Him marrying the same woman for a second time certainly does...
 

"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.

sigh....what a dude!
Funny thing is, the guy is a billionaire, in his early 40's, looks younger than his age, in good physical shape...and he couldn't do better than some average-looking, third rate "actress". How sad. If you must marry a gold-digger, marry a hot one at least.

The guy is a genius; one of those people that can mentally sit above above the system, take it for what it's worth and use to his advantage. He has billions at stake and needs to keep her happy and I imagine he was cringing when he wrote it
