Outside of combat?
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.

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.
Absurd is a good word.Jesus said if a man looks with lust at a woman then he has committed adultery in his heart and is at risk of damnation. (Matt 5:28). To make such a suggestion about His disciples is beyond absurd.
Just because people are murdered all over the world for all sorts of reasons does not mean that murder is socially acceptable. To be socially acceptable, something has to a) be legal and b) not considered morally reprehensible.Absolutely. And I'm not just talking about one particular society - people are murdered all over the world for all sorts of reasons. And while we might pretend only certain (type of) people murder other people, that's not really true. Anyone can be driven to murder someone, if the stakes get high enough.
I like how you seamlessly transition between subjects. Your previous post was about murder. Give me one example of a society where murder is considered morally acceptable.Impossible. Morality differs all over the world, so what is acceptable somewhere is unacceptable somewhere else.
Anyway, your moral rectitude might have a problem with sex work(ers) but it's still ubiquitous and globally acknowledged and, in some countries, acceptable and legal.
That 12 were elevated by St. Paul (who really founded the Christian Church) was in keeping with 12 being such a nice number, and was in keeping with the 12 tribes of Israel, etc. And of course, society was patriarchal, so they would only be me.All of Jesus' disciples were men. 12 Disciples, all guys.

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.
The Cosa Nostra?I like how you seamlessly transition between subjects. Your previous post was about murder. Give me one example of a society where murder is considered morally acceptable.
