"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.

Do you think it is sexist that society does not encourage non-fighting dolls for boys?

I was watching this video, and it got me thinking:

Evidently, the reason that boys are not as well socialized is because only fighting dolls are available for boys, and that such boys grow up to be men that are not properly socialized, so society should encourage boys to play with dolls that require a caretaker, rather than a warlord, attitude.

my opinion: So what's next? Give boys estrogen so they grow teats? :down: :down: :down:
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Terrible. Give a boy innocuous toys like that, he'd find ways to amuse himself by means of violence, such as decapitating toy's head and arms. I have been finding enjoyment in seeing things explode since young age. Pretty sure many men here do as well.

Blech. What's that nasty taste in my tongue that is modern society.
