"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.

I'm curious if anyone here is into climbing - rock, ice or bouldering. I started about two years ago, stopped for a long time, then started back into in the last month. It's awesome exercise.
 

"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.

I am looking into climbing. I want to do expedition climbing when I get some cash. I might go to Alaska to work as a fish processor this summer. Looking to take an ice climbing class as a reward and maybe hit up the Denalis but more likely a smaller range.

Do you actually know what you're getting yourself into? Good luck with that if you choose to do it, as you're not going to stop smelling like fish for a very long time - and I hear those women in Alaska really have it going on. :rolleyes:

Rock climbing here in Louisiana is pretty much nonexistant. There are a few spots at LSU that have the facilities for it (bouldering walls, etc) but for the most part nobody around here is interested.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

One of my friends did that fish processing for three weeks last summer. Loads of money, terrible time. Funny sh!t.

Did he quit?

I think it will be ok...I will probably be taking on a Stock Trading job that pays on commission so I need to suck it up and save some money to live on until I am profitable.

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
i went through a rock climbing training course before, awesome stuff! Its amazing how you can do things you never thought possible before.. We did a lot of urban climbing and stuff too. I miss it, I should get into it again.
