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.

I want to talk a little bit about goals. One of my teacher's once said that achieving your goals is great, but its not always the end prize that helps you the most its the small things that you learn along the way to achieving your goal that benefit you the most.

I advise you guys to set some goals with your self improvement like communication skills, physique etc. and also some goals that involve women.

It really doesn't matter what goals you set just as long as you have some to work for. For example, you could start with something small like I am going to smile and say "hi" to everyone I see until I am comfortable interacting with strangers or something more advanced like I am going to have a long term relationship by the end of the summer.

The point is if you have goals and you actually WORK to achieve them you WILL learn something and you WILL improve.

There is absolutely nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals if you want it bad enough. You might say I'm afraid that I will fail or I'm just not good enough well that is Bullsh*t. EVERYONE is capable of succeeding. I dont care what you or anybody says because I know you can do it! Remember that you might not always achieve your goal, but you are NEVER a loser for trying because you gained experience and knowledge along the way. It is a win-win situation no matter what!!

Just start small and work your way up. I can give you a 100% guarantee that you WILL get better with effort and practice. Good luck gentlemen!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I totally agree with MaMo.

Goals are everything in life.
Like Zig Ziglar,the motivational speaker said "How can you hit a target you DON'T HAVE?"

Great post Mamo.

I like the part about the actual process of achieving goals.

"Happiness,we come to discover, comes from the pursuit of happiness"
-George Sheehan

Once you achieve a specific goal... a sort of depression can come about. It's like the Olympic athlete whose dream, since a young tender age, is to win a gold medal. When they do ... its not what they thought it would be. They have nothing left to strive for unless ----------- they set another goal. Continuing improvement and striving to be better will keep you motivated through life.
As Clarence Bass said "Challenge Yourself".

Excellent post Mamo

MaMo,
Wise words, my friend. There is an old saying: "You have to learn to crawl before you can walk." This is very true. Most Dons are not made overnight - it is a learning process. And like most learning processes you will stumble aling the way. Think of something that you can now "master" - let's say a sport like basketball, for example. You probably sucked the first time you played - hell, probably for a while. But you didn't quit, right? Practice and perseverance made you want to keep trying, to keep doing things better. To strive for perfection.
Meeting and picking up women is easy enough. But you need to be happy with yourself and confident before you can even think of making someone else happy. So if picking up a certain honey is a goal of yours, don't forget the smaller tasks you need yo accomplish along the way, like getting the confidence and experience.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I'm not a die-hard SS nostalgist, but ya gotta admit the vibes were good back then.

The crash of the server in 2000(?) was the greatest tragedy since Brittany Spears. Her existence, I mean.
