"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.

Is there any particular reason so many threads are being closed in the Health and Fitness forum? Bulking up isn't an exact science, and if i'm looking for different opinions on how to achieve what i'm looking for, telling me to "do a search" isn't very beneficial. Especially when said search picks up EVERY THREAD in the H&F forum
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Yeah, i've noticed some of the mods here like to power trip with their thread locking ability. It's kind of ridiculous, this is a fvcking discussion forum. How many genuinely original topics could there possibly be?

Under ordinary circumstances I'd side with diablo. However, if it's true that using search in that section doesn't do much to help you find what you're looking for the "search rule" should be loosened up some in that forum. Why don't you just explain that to diablo and maybe he'll relax this rule in that section a bit.

diablo is a damn good moderator. He's very fair and applies the rules evenly to everyone. Since he's fair, you can approach him about your thoughts politely and get a polite response. There's no need to rag on his moderating because he'll hear you out and he makes every effort to be fair.

Diablo is the only decent mod around. At least he gives a reason for locking or deleting threads. The other tossers just remove em without explanation.

I do agree, however, that fewer threads should be locked in H&F forum, for reasons mentioned above.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Diablo is a great mod.

Most of the time he gets it right.

If he does something you disagree with once in a while, try and let it slide. Last thing you'd want to do is lose a great mod by everyone *****ing about him.

If your serious about bulking, I'd suggest you look other places then the health and fitness section. You'd best grab the Arnold Encyclopedia. Or head over to bodybuilding.com.

Health and fitness should be a place to talk about all things health and fitness related.

like.
What length should my pubic hair be?
Do I have a big nose?
Is it true that having big shoes means you have a big penis? I'm a size 8, but I'll buy a 13.

etc. etc.

It can't all be about protein, squats, and the like.

After reading some of the recent threads, I say that D should ban some of the thread starters for the sake of our sanity.
 

"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.

By the way how did you get inside the Moderator's corner??
To get into the Moderator Corner, you have to be a moderator...That means you have to be voted in as a mod when Allen says there is a need...Or just do what I did...Bribe the absolute hell out of them. :D
