"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.

Let people do whatever crazy sh-t they want to their appearance, the less ugliness the better. It only becomes a problem if its badly-done or you want to mix genes and deserve to know that your child might inherit its mother's buick-sized shnozz.
I've only had less than 10 pleasant dreams my whole life. All the others have been either totally bizarre, something like a suspense/thriller movie or all out terrifying. I always remember them very clearly and wake up and am wide awake afterwards.
 

"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.

You can probably use more vitamin C, vitamin B6, and zinc, then Wyld.

I don't think it's any vitamin deficiencies because the 4 times I had a kid I took vitamins for 9 months and I still hardly ever had dreams. I'm not someone who longs for things I don't have and am generally happy with my life. I've always been that way. I think that has more to do with it than vitamins or anything else. Most of my dreams run sort of like a suspense/thriller/mystery movie where they aren't so much scary as they are eerie mind-f*ck dreams. Ironically...those are the kinds of movies and such that I like best. The really horribly terrifying ones are always recurring dreams and have a very clear meaning and I wake up before it ends until I'm ready for it to. I think they don't end because I'm working out the solution to whatever the issue is and when I have it worked out the dream finally reaches it's conclusion. Some of them are just incredibly bizarre. The suspense dreams always sorta freak me out because I wake up and it takes a few minutes to distinguish that I was dreaming because in the dream I am usually asleep as well. It's weird. It gives a real sense of foreboding, that's for sure.

My 5 year old daughter has sweet little dreams about butterflies and ponies all the time. It's really cute. Those dreams would be nice to have sometimes I guess...but I kinda like trying to figure out the weird ones I have.

You probably dream more often then you think Fire. If you didn't you'd go insane as has been proven by multiple dream deprivation test ie waking people up during REM cycles.

The reason you probably don't remember your dreams is because your REM cycles are broken up by periods of delta sleep which causes memory loss of dreams happening in the prior REM stage.

I use to think I didn't dream all that often either until my psychologist explained how this worked informed me of what was likely happening.

I'm sure I do dream more than I'm aware of. I'm just saying that 99% of the ones I remember aren't good ones, lol.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Surgeons perform first face transplant

And before I get flamed by a bunch of 'fems,' YES, I know that we men can get the same surgery. We just choose not to... :p
Oh I hate feminists, can't they have anything better to do like shaving their legs and cooking me meals IN THE KITCHEN! :crackup:

The reason why they exist today is because most guys are AFC and let them get more than they want and don't show their place.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Update: Five months after receiving the surgery, the woman who received the face transplant is doing better. It wasn't disclosed whether she has stopped smoking to assist in the healing process but it was disclosed that she is only taking 10 pain killers a day down from the original 20.

Back to the original reason for starting this thread, I wonder how long it will be before full or even partial face transplants become part of the mainstream collection of cosmetic body augmentation practices. And I still believe that it may not be a huge disparity, more women than men would take advantage of the service.

In 2004 more men than women got the following cosmetic procedures done:

Breast reduction
Chin augmentation
Hair transplantation

Thats doesnt prove anything... There aren't a ton of women out there that want to make their breasts smaller and get a new butt chin stuck on their face. I could just as easily say that more women get breast implants then men, so therefore, women are more vain.

Damn well it seems i was 4 pages too late.

Frankly I think all forms of body modification is disgusting. For example, plastic surgery, piercings, taking showers, and shaving.

Our primitive ancestors established glorious empires because they didn't shower, alter their face, or wear clothes. They lived up to 500 years old and everyone was happy.

Today Americans have plastic surgery and showers, but what does it lead to? The average American lifespan is 30, 95% of Americans die violently, and civil wars start all the time.

Natural is the way to go!
