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.
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.
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.
Just add another letter to the alphabet, unless there's already an H?Heterowhat?![]()
The entire leftist premise is built upon jealousy. The people who rise to power in the leftist world are the ones who can capitalize on this victim mentality and are smart enough (and evil enough) to profit off the fake oppressed and useful idiots.You notice it's never attractive women that are feminists

They are too dumb to realize that their 'leaders' are their true oppressors. Why are they not pissed at them?Leftism is based on taking revenge on whoever "stole" success.
Ask them who is successful and they will all point at anyone with a single dollar more than them.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
No, it’s not. As a political ideology “leftism” in the West is a fusion of social libertarianism and economic collectivism /strongly regulated capitalism.Leftism is based on taking revenge on whoever "stole" success.

Most people I know who lean left don’t view singular politicans as messianic figures. That is more common on the far-right end of the spectrum.They are too dumb to realize that their 'leaders' are their true oppressors. Why are they not pissed at them?
Take Obama for example. He's rich now. He was the savior, and if you look at it objectively, 8 years of him resulted in a situation where people had to riot because they were SOOOOOOOO oppressed. Yet no one points to him. He was the head guy in charge, why didn't their situation improve?
I always hear, "We've come a long way, but we still have more work to do!" Ok, by what standard? When will we have done enough work? Crickets. Will never happen.
If they really wanted the change they talk about, why didn't they nominate Bernie? Why do they keep nominating puppets?
faccctttttsssssThe entire leftist premise is built upon jealousy. The people who rise to power in the leftist world are the ones who can capitalize on this victim mentality and are smart enough (and evil enough) to profit off the fake oppressed and useful idiots.
To put leftists and libertarians in the same sentence is like putting feminists and human rights activists sitting at the same table.No, it’s not. As a political ideology “leftism” in the West is a fusion of social libertarianism and economic collectivism /strongly regulated capitalism.
Whats the name of that mixed race guy that was welcomed as the saviour of the world and even getting a nobel for peace for no particular reason? I recall he was quit popular few years ago, more than a rockstar.Most people I know who lean left don’t view singular politicans as messianic figures.

Same sh1t with those marxist feminist women that founded BLM, they got filthy rich in the last months while cities were burning....oh now after that Im sure black guys are no longer victims of discrimination and Im even more sure that they are sharing their wealth with fatherless minority guys.They are too dumb to realize that their 'leaders' are their true oppressors. Why are they not pissed at them?

Academically that is just wrong. Modern “leftists” are social libertarians.To put leftists and libertarians in the same sentence is like putting feminists and human rights activists sitting at the same table.
That is a strawman fallacy. You should stick to the topic at hand because there is no objectivity in any of your posts.Whats the name of that mixed race guy that was welcomed as the saviour of the world and even getting a nobel for peace for no particular reason?

It doesn’t, but it’s amusing to see the caricatures people create of the “other side.”Pretty sure this whole left vs. right thing doesn't matter.
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.
