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.
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.
Surely you mean a post-photoshop version of him?mrRuckus said:Show me her instead of the post-photoshop version of her.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Well hell, I didn't know that. I just looked at the picture after assuming it was just surrounded by you go girl jibberish.Bokanovsky said:Surely you mean a post-photoshop version of him?
The LBTG community is now deemed to be protected under the political correctness umbrella. Thus, they are considered beyond criticism. If you are critical, you will be treated much like a backward thinking Neanderthal racist bigot. I'm almost surprised my comments are not censored on this forum for not being fully supportive.Maximummax said:the interesting thing i found is the people supporting that "thing" and praising it as some kind of heroism.....

I saw a recent interview where he/she/it said she intended to keep it, at least for now, as long as it doesn't get in the way. At this point, he/she/it saw no reason to get rid of it, but things could change.glass half full said:Does he/she/it still have a wang? This might make for some interesting restroom visits from others...lol
