"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 any of you have seen this show, you know what a pathetic, "macho", ass kissing piece of garbage Danny Bonaduce is.

He is the epitome of what to NOT act like with a woman. Before your very eyes, you can see the behavior that drives women away. His marriage is crumbling, and he doesn't understand that acting jealous and begging for forgiveness are the main causes. (A long with his alleged rampant alcoholism and possible drug use)

I suggest you guys check this show out on VH-1.
 

"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.

Good show. When lucid, Danny is actually very insightful. Unfortunately he always seems to need some type of reassurance from his wife who has forsaken her life for him. He always seems to need to be in control of his surroundings as if to validate himself. When he doesn't get his way he goes completely AMOG even ripping off his shirt at times to posture himself. Kinda makes sense why he felt like he needed to take steroids. Talk about a good example of a guy who has lost complete control of himself.

I think Danny is a classic example of "short man syndrome". He's only 5'6, and instead of being comfortable with himself, he became an expert in the martial arts and started using steroids to pump up.

I think your observation about him needing to be in control is quite accurate. Behind all that alpha male posturing, I think Danny is a very insecure guy. I do agree that he is extremely insightful and quite intelligent.
