You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
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.
Wow, violent one here. I'd like to put those gallow-looking things in Palomar's parking lot to use myself... hehOriginally posted by metahuman
How about more censorship? For instance, I'd like to see Giovanni Casanova castrated and hanged, but if that's not possible at the moment, perhaps a silencing will do.
CENSORSHIP! CENSORSHIP! CENSORSHIP!
Metahuman(/Demon) got banned beceuse he is an atheist and just a little opinionated. He has a tendency to respond a bit too aggressively, and often at a reading level too high for some of the other posters. Due to his refusal to kiss a$$, certian cry-baby AFC's demaned that he be banned because he hurt their tender little feelings. (AWWWW!)Originally posted by MVPlaya
Why did metahuman get banned?

No, he hasn't: None of the people named there would consistently badger and berate those who differed with them. None of those would, nearly every time they wrote something, find some new way to vilipend and criticize people whose opinions differed.Originally posted by WaterTiger
Metahuman has now joined the illustrious ranks of other who were also banned for their opinions. Galileo, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Jesus, Dr. Seuess, Gandhi...etc.
I DID say he was a bit aggressive!Originally posted by Von Neuen

Conflict is a strong bonding influence. It draws a line and insists you choose a side. By choosing a side you also are inclined to bond with those who are on "your" side. You share a common ideal.
Conflict also teaches you to stand up for what you believe. Even if someone tells you that you're wrong or silly for those beliefs. You learn to hang tough. Conflict teaches you strength.
Although his technique might be questionable, I do think he brought valuable lessons to the board. And I also think banning him was a bit harsh. But that's my opinion.![]()
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.
i dont think i have ever gotten into a flame war with demon, i do belive that i am one of the few.Originally posted by WaterTiger
How is it that I can interact with him without hostility and you can't?
