"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

No, it is merely a business decision and good marketing for his companies which is highly likely why he does it.

Plus of course on personal level its a cool thing to travel to space. I'd love to travel there too because it's awesome.
But it has nothing to do with alpha and it doesn't make you into one.
 

"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.

Well said in another way.
Just because you have big balls doesn't mean that you aren't dragging them on the floor.

Go figure.. ;)

Like most entrepreneurs he isn’t adverse to taking an educated risk, Or, he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that private enterprise is more successful at safe space endeavors than a government controlled agency ever was…

It's a joke. The entire flight is 11 minutes, entirely automated, and only in the lowest altitude of what is considered space for a few minutes. Leave it to bezos to bring you a low quality imitation product that makes him richer.

Just one more bragging right and an accessory for wanna-be alpha's to use to get women.

"Yeah, I've been to space before. It's ok, nothing that special..."

I don't know how anyone else can top that.

It's still a cool thing regardless of the settings and who is doing it and the length of the flight in my opinion.
Very few people have been to the edge of the earth atmosphere and space and seen it.

Right, because men like this are Beta ... :rolleyes:

"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.

Never said that.

But now with that said: Not all astronauts is like the guy in the article you are referring to.

Some of them are real nerds these days that live on the ISS space station. So riding rocket doesn't automatically convert you to a thunder alpha. Nor buying a Ducati motorcycle and strapping on it neither makes you alpha either because alpha is a mindset.

You can be as buffed as Arnold Schwarzenegger and still have beta mindset.

Like I said in a past thread re-quoting myself:
Either you have the mindset or you don't.

It is as simple as that.

If you can learn it?
Sure I think you can; but you can never "beat" a person with a natural alpha mindset that does it naturally from his core personality since he was born.

Well, a lot of men use "aircraft game" in their Tinder profile: :rolleyes:
