"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.

I abolsutely LOVE chuck taylors ( http://www.la-story.com/upload/2007/12/Converse_Chuck-Taylor-All-S.jpg )
and its because you can wear them with almost anything in the right color.
I got some extra cash laying around and I wanted to pick up another pair of shoes, but I wanted something as flexible as Chuck taylors. You can literally wear these things to any occasion and im curious if anyone else has a pair of sneakers that they could share so i could make a good purchase. pictures would be great
 

"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.

Very sweet. The only problem I have with high-top trainers is that I can't stand not having the tougue covered by my jeans. How do you wear them? Messy with the tougue showing or overalled by your jeans?

I'm relatively just Vans, Perry Boat deckshoes, Nike Air Max One/90s, Supra's, Air Force One, Asics Mexico 66, Lacoste and Lonsdale.
 

"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.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

No. You can't. Or you should not. They are not dress shoes and would never qualify IMO.

I had a pair of Chuck Tailors that I quite liked. They were grey denim and a nice pair of shoes, but they're made like crap. They fell apart and destroyed my socks in the process. I literally wore through the fabric on the inside by the heel, then worse through the rubber behind it to just the outside fabric. I'm certain if I'd continued wearing them that I would have had a giant hole in the back of my shoes. You're better off getting one of those environmentally friendly clones than you are buying the original ones made in sweatshops.

I don't have a ton of shoes. My go-to pairs right now are a basic black leather with red lace/accent pair of Creative Recreations and then my bigger Piloti G16s.

Have you actually tried training I'm these? It's not easy at all. My Dad got me a pair and I retired some low grade trail running I'm them. I was in soooo much pain the next few days.
No, I normally wear them at the beach easy to put on and off.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You have to run properly. Don't land on the heel.

Most shoes are like this. They have this huge cushion on the heel making you lazy. That's not the proper way, and it really doesn't help for speed and endurance.

It's not that,the protection and cushioning are fine. It's the fact that my toes were spreading free on on uphill over rocks and stuff. My shins got the brunt of it because the were flexing in unfamiliar ways.

Well, now I know what to expect. I've been looking at the five fingers for running instead of the Nike Free.

If your shins hurt, that means they're the weakest link. They'll strengthen.
