"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.

This is something I've been working on. It represents the filtering process that a man and a woman would use when they consider someone as a potential partner.

In the "man" and "woman" columns are the current traits or actions that contribute to their image and qualities (owning their own sh1t), or like they abbreaviate this in the SMV term.

Then, there is the blue line that follows the man's thought process, and the red line that follows the woman's.

You can see how the qualities of a man or a woman, in reality, are not seen for what they truly are, but instead contribute to building the two more internal columns.

To give you an example, a woman will notice that you go to the gym, dress well, and maintain a healthy diet, which she associates with a sense of style, self-care, and diligence. However, she won't see your inner motivation for enjoying these activities or the adrenaline rush and emotions they evoke in you. Also, she will see how your friends and other treats you, or how you much you're kind to others. How many female friends You have and How your family is built. What she will see is that You will have or not, social proof, validation and other qualities.

This internal column represents the "shell," or what others see, and it's something we must also learn to observe in ourselves, as if we were viewing ourselves from a third-person perspective. Doing this periodically, perhaps once a month or once a week, will forever change how you perceive yourself in the social "market."

Ultimately, you will have gained an understanding of how others see you! This shouldn't make you insecure or focused on seeking external validation, but rather more confident in eliminating certain things from your life to focus on others that genuinely validate you from within and allow them to shine uniquely. For instance, a friend of mine is an excellent fisherman, and the internal validation he receives from this activity is evident when he shares it with a room full of people. He is magnetic.

Then, there are three checkpoints for different stages of a relationship:
the STR qualification, the LTR qualification, and the final qualification for beign a good match.

I would appreciate hearing your opinion and exploring how this idea can be developed further.

"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.
