"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.

Anyone Deal With Strabismus?

I suffered a head injury a few months ago and had some irritation to my eyes afterwards. I went to get it examined at a private clinic that says they specialize in eye problems. They did a lot of tests except for strabismus. Two months later the irritation persists and I went back to the doctor and had them test my eyes again.

When I went back yesterday, they did another test and they said that my eyes are not lined up properly.

Next week I head back to Canada and will see a more competent doctor. I hope I can get this fixed. I was wondering if anyone had some advice for me.
 

"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.

Little do you know that strabismus is actually code for an ability to copy any ninjutsu one sees!

I've had strabismus pretty much since I was born. My right eye is higher than my left, and I mainly see out of my right eye. Whenever eye doctors do that test where you see a box with one eye and a dot in the other and you're supposed to see the dot in the box when you put them together, I always fail.

I never knew strabismus could be brought about by a head injury. For me, it really hasn't affected my life much. My depth perception is probably a little ****tier than average, so it was a little bit of a disadvantage in sports. Other than that, it's been fine. I know surgery can correct the problem, but I never cared enough to really consider it.

I imagine it's rather different having normal eyes and then coming into this condition at age 28. I really don't have any advice...all I can really say is that I don't feel my life is significantly affected by this condition.

I've had it my whole life. I also can't see out of my wandering eye. I agree with the poster above, if you've dealt with it your whole life I guess it doesn't matter as much to you. I did once ask what surgery would cost. It was about 3 grand. So that was a non-starter.

It was A LOT worse when I was younger. I was a goofy looking kid. I didn't start wearing glasses full time until I was about 10 years old. My eyes aligned better after I started wearing glasses full-time. I would look into that as well.
