"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.

I only see a blizkeig of women breast cancer campaign across the US & Canada.

Is prostate cancer being sweep aside as insignificant?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

•Prostate cancer is diagnosed every 2 3/4 minutes, approximately 190,000 new cases each year. It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in America among men.

Breast Cancer Cases in 2007
The National Cancer Institute estimated new cases to be 178,480 (female) and 2,030 (male).
I reckon its because men don't give a d@mn. Maybe its part of the female agenda thing too, like you must be trying to angle at. But you know, if someone's going to make a huge drama-loaded deal about something, it's women.

Cause the worst thing that can happen after getting a prostate removed is not having kids...something a ton of healthy guys wish they could do anyway.

Anyway there's a new sonic device in development for prostate exams that excludes having a doctor shove a finger up your pie hole for examination...which is the PRIME reason that most guys approaching 40 don't have prostate exams in the first place.

Because it's not politically correct. Breast cancer and AIDS are the two most political correct diseases because one affects exclusively women and one disproportionately effects gays and the 3rd world.

you dudes that look at everything through both a feminism filter and a victim filter are just helpless little btches aren't you

"waaahhh nobody's running marathons for prostrate cancer, nobody loves me waahhhh"
 

"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.

This.

If you were to look, I'm sure there'd be plenty of fund-raisers for prostrate cancer. There are here, although testicle cancer does get a lot more funding. In my school we had quite a large event to raise awareness of testicle cancer.

That's because of the nature of prostate and it's cancer. Trust me, if testicular cancer was more common there would be as much fund raisers for it as there are for breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer for women and the woman's breasts are also part of who a woman are. Do you even know where your prostate is or what it even does? If you lost your prostate would you feel as if you were a lesser man?

In men prostate cancer is very common, but the risk of death is very low. Also it's primarily an old man's disease. The average age of diagnosis is 70, the average life expectancy for men is 75. In many cases the cancer isn't treated simply because it the treatment may actually shorten the mans life and cause much discomfort in his later years.

Prostate cancer is pretty easy to treat if it caught early and is tested for regularly, so that may have something to do with it. But again, we're men so don't expect to be protected as much. The guys 70 and up faced stuff that most of us haven't even dreamed of and they aren't crying about it. We want so much to slam feminsim that I think guys forget the only way to convince people that some of it is a bunch of crap is just to be silent and strong about how you face things. The older guys knew that, so it's time we learned.
