"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.

If you have authentic confidence can being "in love" with the wrong woman tear this down?
If your confidence truly comes from within, a woman should not be able to affect it. That doesn't mean that getting involved with the wrong woman can't cause you some pain though, in some way or other. It's not a good idea, although I know doing the right thing isn't always easy.

I think most people's confidence probably comes from a mix of the inner self and outer experiences though, so that would make it easier to get shaken. Ideally, confidence should come from within, but from a practical standpoint I'm not sure that's possible. You have to be able to demonstrate some sort of success externally or you're just deluding yourself.
 

"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.

Well I had HUGE and hustified confidence in my career and with the ladies but the relationship with my ex wife tore all that down. My woman before her way supportSup and she was very negative and damaging. So my confidence got affected by her treatment of me due to naivety. I know better now. But I was just pointing out that if your naive and think your "in love" a womanan can shred you self esteem. It took me many many years to get it all back .

Naivety and "love" can be a deadly combination. But you came out of it, and I bet you are now stronger for having that life experience. Sometimes you learn more from failure than success, as unpleasant as it might be.

Yeah she was cutting on my brains like Hannibel Lector.

I'm good now and I received the lesson.
