"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.

lol A friend of mine who is an attorney always says "It's only dishonest when you give false information. Giving them only part of the information, so long as what you do give them is true, is still considered honesty".

Works pretty well for him in the courtroom. I see no problem in applying it to women also.
Another rep. People don't understand how beneficial it is to just keep their mouth shut.

I see guys saying that's what hors do. Well, sure it is. But don't we teach guys to spin plates too?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You know what's REALLY overrated? YOUR POSTING.

You've worn out your welcome. I really wish the mods saw it the same way.

The episode where George decided to do the opposite of his instincts is a great one. He sees an attractive woman, then marches up to her to say 'Hi, I'm George. I'm 37, unemployed, and live with my mother.' And then the woman is all over him.

I think there's some wisdom in that scene, relating to the attractiveness of not being outcome-dependent, as well as the idea that many natural instincts are self-limiting beliefs.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

George's belief is if every instinct in his life has been wrong up to that point, the opposite must be right.

Classic episode.
