"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.

All the best guys, and farewell

Maybe it was the Jophil thread that did it for me, maybe it's the fact that I'm currently working 12 -14 hours a day and flat out.

Either way, I'll be taking a break from the forum for the next 3 months. Maybe I'll be back after that, maybe I won't.

Just wanted to thank all of those people who provided positive feedback in my broken arm recovery journal which I kept from late January through to June, in particular Fuglydude, Jitterbug and Huffman.

It got me through those days,and its now been almost 2 months since I last updated the journal. My arm is not 100% but I don't think about it much these days and yesterday I did a 10km run in 42min, 34s, finishing in the top 6%.

For me, I don't see any real benefit in being on the forum anymore and its time to move on. I've learnt lessons here that I will never forget, but in the end, the only real learning is out in the real world.

All the best to you guys. In a manner of speaking you've been like brothers to me, and while it pains me to go, it's something I know I must do for my own growth and self improvement.

Live life to the full, be true to yourself and judge yourself and others by actions, not words.

Peace.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You'll be back and you know it. You can't escape us, we'll never let you go! YOU HEAR ME?!! You'll be baaaaaaaaaack!!

Seriously, good luck to you, man :up:
 

"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.

not here. in the real world.
Good luck man -- I know from having taken breaks it can be a good thing -- but don't distance yourselves from some of the principles you've learned here too much! It can be a slow and gradual process of slipping!

Arm wrestling? THAT'S how you broke your arm?

Alpha. lol Hope you get it to 100 percent soon!


Feel free to always come back if you need a refresher course. Sometimes out in the world we can get wrapped up in things that can make us regress. You feel a bit of backsliding coming on and we'll be here for you.


Take it easy, and good luck!
 

"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.
