"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 found that study on Wikipedia. I was impressed myself too, but it clearly said that the average Italian guy between 16 and 25 yrs old is 176.5 cm (5'9.5) and the average German guy the same age is 174 cm (5'8.5). The average American was somewhere between 5'10 and 5'11.
Just an advice: don't consider anything from Wikipedia as authoritative. Simply because any person in this world can register and write things up. Wikipedia sure is very useful, especially on topics traditionally shunned by other media, but it's just another source to grab (potentially inaccurate) information.

Any topic that concerns faith, beliefs and national or ethnic pride etc will be very likely to be biased and innacurate despite the best intentions of the moderators, because they are humans too and can't check eveything that's been written, plus they also have their own preconceived ideas.

For instance, the "studies" might be a typo, or maybe some proud Italian guy wrote/changed that part to feel better...:D

Just for the anecdote: if you go to Germany, you will see that even their pissers are raised higher than in France or in Italy, same thing in the Netherlands so...:nono: :crackup:
 

"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.
