"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.

Everyone and their grandma have little sayings that they live by. There are so many of those old proverbs out there that a lot of them give the exact opposite advice. For example, one of my favorites is "The early bird gets the worm" and "Patience is a virtue". They are telling you to do two opposite things!

Here is another: the squeaky wheel gets the grease, or silence is golden.

Here's one that is probably the most appropriate for this forum: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you vs. Nice guys finish last.

Can you guys think of any others? If you can't, I'd like to hear which of these you feel is the best wisdom.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

1. a drunk man says what a sober man thinks.
2. it is what it is.
3. soap is cheap , everyone can afford to be clean.
4. a man might be the head of the family but the woman is the neck and the neck can turn the head any way she wants.
5. no use crying over spilt milk, get up and mop the floor!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

man with itchy butt soon have smelly finger

I've always thought that the expression 'all things in moderation' is self-contradictory. By its own rule, it should read, 'most things in moderation.'

Also, the cliche'd expression the Lord helps those who help themselves is not actually found anywhere in the Bible.
