"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.

"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.

Both england and belgium is professional, so I don't think they will faul a lot. Is it true that over there there is a fake ass news about dogs and cats being shot over here prior to games?

I live in Japan, who advanced by playing a "prevent defense" even though they were down 0-1. I also understand they advanced because they got fewer yellow cards.

Not the boldest of the 16. They play Belgium next. 8-1 to win for Japan and 2-5 for a Belgium win.

I'm in Africa.

The VAR has been controversial to say the least. Argentina, Spain and Portugal could easily have been out.

The Poland - Japan game was played at an eerily pedestrian pace in the last 15 minutes. Neither team was trying to get the ball in the opposition half, let alone scoring.

I know Argentina and Spain have looked far from impressive, but so did Real Madrid before winning the champions league.

I fancy one of the two to win it all.
 

"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.

How is it being received over there?
Japanese are pretty fickle. Last time they made it to the sweet 16, you could see kids playing soccer in the parks. But as soon as they lost, nobody said boo.

But from now until Tuesday, everybody loves soccer. But nobody has any serious hopes of getting past Belgium. If they even score a goal they'll be happy.

The games on early tuesday here, 2 or 3 AM, so I expect Wed morning they'll be a lot of sleepy, sad, hungrover folks. It'll be fun while it lasts though.

Japanese like their sumo, local and high school baseball, but anything international is just happy to be there.

Girls soccer is another story.

Argentina knocked out, in the game of the tournament so far.Well, I guess I wouldn't do too well as a pundit.

France look dangerous and Mbappe seems to be coming of age.

The Ballon D'or will surely go to someone outside of Ronaldo and Messi this year, depending on who wins the World Cup, IMO.

Nice to finally have a change if you ask me.

@deesade

Did you do any damage around town?

Everybody expects Europe to be destroyed by collapsing currencies and immigration. It'd be funny it was destroyed by soccer hooligans.

I put money on France and won! England and Germany didn't come through, even though I put money on them. You guys are not mentioning victory ceremoney it was wonderful, rain started halfway through, and it was magical.


 

"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.
