The Onion is always hilarious.
The Onion is always hilarious.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
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.
(JJ) said:eh, the line between real and fake is really blurry here mpimpin.
but i say, if it makes both of em happy, where's the problem?
the reason we do anything is for happiness. we have every interaction with every person, place, or thing in our lives for no purpose other than self satisfaction and making things better for us.
in a weird way, us waking up to the deeper level of all this only LESSENS our prospects of happiness, because given an opportunity to have regular sex and provide for a wife that would otherwise make us happy, we automatically think... "she's probably cheating and just a golddigging ho"
The fact that you thought that something from "The Onion" was real shows just how scary you are. No wonder you boys fall for scam artists and believe the crap you hear on tv.runner83 said:Both hilarious, but also so true...
The original should be required reading for any guy planning to get married.
The second one should be required reading for any guy who thinks being "friends" first is the way to go.
