"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

A glaring and unfortunate omission on this site

It seems to me that there should be an official "Success" section in this forum. Being a DJ is all about developing the inner game and being and feeling successful, and it's a shame that these discussions are relegated to the generic "anything else" section.

Doesn't our quest to attain and preserve personal financial success deserve a forum all its own? How can we make this happen?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ok, so far two replies from two idiots.

Yes, I read the sticky. I am talking about success strategies, not financial "advice". I'm talking about mindsets we can develop and adopt in order to succeed in life, whatever the definition of success is for each individual. I'm talking about developing successfull habits in life. Get it?

Judging by the lack of intelligence reflected in KillaCam's reply he must be under 17 years old or severely challenged so I'll let him slide this time.

Is anybody out there who feels we would benefit by having a place to discuss success strategies and insights?

Edit: I see KillaCam's age is in fact 17. That explains his reply, although I have read words of true wisdom from other kids on this site.

Yeah man, I can judge someone's intellegence by 6 words on an internet forum too. Thank you for letting it slide, you're so kind.

If my age is all you have to use against me, i'll head off and do something constructive. I don't like getting my feelings hurt by internet baddies :(
 

"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.

I'm feeling quite magnanimous tonight so I'm going to try to help you one last time.

The sticky pertains to exercising caution about taking specific financial advice from strangers. This is an excellent warning, in my opinion.

My thread, however, is about discussing habits, strategies, tactics, mind-sets, etc. geared specifically toward attaining success, financial and otherwise. What does a man think about his business when he wakes up in the morning? Indeed, what time does he wake up, and what time does he go to bed? What habits has he developed in his life that are designed to yield a life of success? What does he do on a daily basis to improve himself?

These are the things that I think would benefit the community. I couldn't give a rat's a$$ about what Joe Blow thinks I should invest in. That's why the sticky is there. Rather, I'm interested in sharing thoughts on the inner game.

None of which was mentioned in your op.
