"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.
ellen page anyone surprised?

This has nothing to do with Elliot Page exactly, but:
I was listening to the radio the other day, don't know what the show was. Someone called in and said their daughter had just come out as lesbian, and they were very surprised because she had always been so boy crazy. The host said that a lot of the time young women go through phases. He said that in his experience, and in the experience of other men he knew, women's sexuality was more flexible than men's.
He said he knew many women who had said they were lesbian, but later met a guy and got married. This matches my experience too. I've known women who swore they were lesbian, then the next thing you know they're married and have a kid.

He was good in that.
"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.

I remember when I saw "Juno" in a theater. I was going through some difficult personal stuff at the time in early 2008. 2008 got worse as the year went on. Bad year. A lot of the things that made 2008 bad were coming to light in 2007.
