"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

want to know if you have traveled internationally or domestic in the last month and how did it play out:)
 

"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.

Land of slow.
Heads up I did make a thread about some Dj's in the past and their travels. LOL I recieved zero responses. I have been doing some group volunteering across the city and has become strenuous to keep attendance. My attendance has been good for inner city travel. Now they started campaign to stay home. Way harder to keep going. For the end of the year had a trip to France scheduled. Hopefully by end of year a small trip to France might be possible...

I just got back from south america when the virus was already taking its hold here in the states. I had a flight cancelled, which I got credit for and got to take an earlier flight, and they lost my luggage and delivered it at 3 am to my doorstep. Top tip: fly Alaska airlines.

Some friends of mine got stuck in Italy on lockdown, they spent a LOT of money to fly home and wasted most of it.

I had a trip planned for July of this year, it has been cancelled.

No travel here, they say stay home, that’s where I be…only low traffic level grocery trips. Using my extra free time to do some car polishing and maintenance as well as doing chores on the home front I’ve put off from previous time scarcity…
 

"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.

How are you finding low traffic grocery times? The grocery stores where I live have been jammed at all hours since this began.
Somebody must be profiting off of this, because it's not just a run on necessities anymore. People are emptying the shelves of practically everything.

It’s down to basically TP around here, saw 8 customers buying it todays trip, single big bags, not multiples, one man wearing a mask that wouldn’t stop dirt, the panic level is starting to subside here though. I prefer my neighborhood Aldi lately over the big boy grocers. I usually go 2-3pm…

No traveling at all for me other than to grocery stores or directly to a plate's house. The beach is a 3 mile bike ride away, so I will spend some time on the boardwalk there. (Unlike Florida, New Jersey does not have beach weather at this time)
