"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you get laid in the woods and nobody hears you, did you still get laid?
 

"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.

"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.

Well, as an actual philosopher (Master's, going on for a Ph.D.), it seems to me to depend on what branch of philosophy you're interested.

The existentialists, the social philosophers, and the political philosophers tend to do pretty well for themselves when it comes to women.

The metaphysicians, the epistemologists, and the logicians don't seem to do that well for themselves.

I don't think this distinction has to do with the type of philosophy they study... rather, I think that those with more social personalities are drawn to the more social types of philosophy. Similarly, I think that AFCs are drawn to the more abstract reaches of philosophy. They aren't social to begin with, so they don't see as much of a need to study the more social branches.
