"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.

Do you think the epidemic in peacetime "friendly fire" incidents is caused by soldiers' wives hypergamously dumping them?

I was reading this, and it got me interested:
my opinion: Although soldiers are de facto brave Alphas, their strict hierarchical regimen really Beta-tizes them - necessarily to the Commander, of course - but these men also carry that attitude over to their home life, where the "Commander" at home bosses them around almost as much as the guys with the stripes, bars, oak leaves & stars - thereby leaving that "Commander" not being as interested in them when they were dating a military man. And this, along with long deployments and moves (i.e., where the wife might stay back a while, etc.), gives these "Commanders" the ability to hypergamously upgrade without hindrance - and having the full weight of the thoroughly gynocentric military Office of Family (or whatever it's called) to tell the soldier to "man up" at home.
 

"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.
