"I just moved here from Florida."

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 just stopped at Winchell's and ate 4 donuts back to back. I couldn't resist. Damn, and I was doing so great lately!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Don't know about other guys, but it's necessary that I allow myself to eat some real shyt once in a while. I don't have too many bad cravings...I have no sweet tooth at all. But when it comes to French Fries :nervous: I let myself eat one order a week, and in that way it's easier to resist them during the week if they are offered to me. I am comforted knowing that I can have some fries on Friday or whenever. I really think when it comes to disciplining your diet, you need an occassional "exhaust valve" in order to avoid massive, cataclysmic dietary eruptions. ie, eating 4 donuts in one sitting WTF???

lmao

I wouldnt sweat it, I doubt 4 donuts would make such a big difference in the long run, you will burn them off in a day or two!

You should have one day a week where you eat the foods you enjoy. That way you won't get in a rut and go out and binge on doughnuts.

Psychological tricks are for p*ssies.


You shouldn't be craving foods if you are getting appropriate nutrients.
