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.
Actually no. Can't tell you how many stories I've read of the people who had HPV & Herpes for years and didn't even know. They dont test for the those 2 in standard STD tests. Some people who have it are simply carries of it, but show no symptoms. There is no solid HPV test for "males" and Herpes would involve an HSV1-2 blood test to show.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
WRONG.
Yeah I don't have any of that. I've wanted to start BJJ at a gym but give pause due to ringworm you can get from grappling with some unsuspecting dude. I'd want to do no-gi too which would be less protection than a gi. I guess you could ask the dudes you're rollin with if they have herpes zoaster or something, or staph.
Chances are, they do not know. I do muay thai and Jujitsu for a couple of decades. Usually, Gladiator Herpes is rare. You can take monolaurin to protect yourself; that's what I do.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Yea, the last three didn't want a condom either. Saying they do not use condoms when they are exclusive. Or, they only have sex with one dude at a time. Two of them didn't even use birth control. Mind boggling to say the least.
