I was here back in the heyday then left at some point. Been with my wife since 2006. Ran into a ton of difficulty with her in 2020 that i'm still sorting out. I'd like to say i give back here, but i also learn. Honestly sometimes i think i knew what i was doing back in 2002 better than now.
"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
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.

A very Pook-ish post, nonetheless relevant. He said something along the same lines, like there comes/should come a point in time when a man doesn't need game/seduction (strategy) anymore. Insomuch as it is coming naturally at that point.
I notice the same cognitive dissonance here today as has almost always been: men searching for black and white answers where there are only fifty shades of grey. Good to see people still trying to sort these things out though in their own way. It must be said that there are different lessons to be learned as life progresses.
