"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.

Feeling a bit pathetic and beta at the moment.

Any words of wisdom or motivation would be gratefully received.

Happy New Year, Chaps.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hit the gym like a Motherfvcker TMK and use the mantra "it's my body, it will do what I want it to do" to have a workout that pushes your limits. Plan on being sore tomorrow, and when you wake up stiff, go walk it off. Walk for at least an hour. During that walk, this positively about the things you want to accomplish in your life.

I promise you'll feel better.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well done lads. You've forced me to get ma sh!t together. Just grew a pair and confronted to pertinent relationships in the space of 10 minutes.

Special kudos to SeymourCake for delivering what is likely the most amusing and equally profound man advice in the known multiverse. 'Breathe through your balls' will later be immortalised in my very own signature. This guy needs a funking gold star rather than a green dot.
