"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:
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
