"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.

I am NOT a natural actor by any sense of the word. Never done it, never cared to, but I might be in a situation where I have to start playing a character on my infomercial.

It's comedy, but the comedy is going to be in the situation and not so much the delivery, so I don't have to worry about being funny, just being able to deliver my lines in a somewhat realistic manner.

Any tips?

If I can pull it off I think it will be a lot of fun. IF I can pull it off!
 

"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.

What are you going to be on that "when women ruled the world" tv show?

Not like the world needs another "reality" show...

It sounds like you're insecure and trying to get attention.

It's an infomercial for my business. I pretty much have complete control.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Huh?

Pretty much the opposite. I'm not comfortable with too much attention. I'm not a "spotlight" kind of guy.

Damn, I forgot. Good to know I have friends in the biz!

Nothing really specific. I'm sure you have seen the Myspace page, and if you've seen the trailer for the infomercial you kind of know the direction we are taking.

I will be playing a hypocritical televangelist bent on destroying the "heathens" who are responsible for the show.

You've met me in person, so you might have picked up on the fact that I'm pretty low key. Not exactly the type of person who is a natural in fronto of the camera, but I know that acting is something that can be learned to an extent.

Take Jared from the Subway commercials. When he first started he was TERRIBLE. Now he could actually pass for a mediocre actor.

Me....at this point "bad" wouldn't be the word for my skills. I just need basic pointers on how to get myself into the right frame.

If this isn't enough info send me a PM. I don't like to give too many details to 311345234526 people.

You want to emulate as closely as possible that which you're portraying. In your case I would suggest checking out Jimmy Swaggart when he sobbed openly about "I've sinned against you Lord.".

Method actors internalize every aspect of that which they're portraying. I could go on and on about the differences between Strasberg's Method and Sandy Meisner's but the gist of it is all in how one acts honestly under imaginary circumstances.

We should get together over sushi and talk about it.

I'd love to do the sushi thing again. I'm beyond busy right now but we have to do it soon. What happened to you last time, BTW?
 

"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.

That would be great if I had the personality of a televangelist, but that's a FAR stretch for me.
