She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life 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.
Did you really need to bold that? I know that is your whole schtick, but was that really necessary there?DonGorgon said:You guys can thank capitalism for all this social depression and desperation.. Expect this to get alot worse too..
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.
IT's a BOLD FACT that capitalism causes social depression it felt to me as though it bolded itself, almost like flexing its factual muscles so that those in denial would be forced to face it .... :nervous:MikeYikes122 said:Did you really need to bold that?

Okay you're either a troll or a pvssy. Either way, just go out and talk to girls! Stop posting!ItsOnNow said:That's it. I haven't found internal happiness, only emptiness that I try to fill. This started a long time ago. I thought no girl's/freind's= loser, and it consumed me. I don't have many freinds, I have trust issues, after something that happened to me a year ago, I am still not over it. It was bad. I mean bad.
I haven't been trying to start some sort of routine to get out of this. That's what kills me the most. I could have changed, broken out of the shell, and gone after what I wanted so sooner. I'm gonna take a course of action.

The most powerfully tactical thing about capitalism is that while it kills you you slowly it convinces you to love it more and more..:nervous:
Most people don't know it yet but capitalism is the most powerfully devastating form of slavery ever known to man...:nervous:
Interceptor said:BE, so you can DO, then HAVE.
Be , as in BE PRESENT.
Be, as in BECOMING.
Be, as in BELIEF.
Be, as in BEING.
Focus on what is STOPPING you from feeling Good, and Happy, and Joyful.
What are these obstacles?
What issues are you dealing with?
are you even aware you are having difficulties seeing the positive side?
Why arent you seeing this as positive?
These are questions you must ask yourself.
If not, you let your subconscious, and all the primal subconscious fears do the acting and make your own sub beleif system.
You will operate from a paradigm of fear and irrational beliefs.
Your mind is a tool.
A way to interpret phenomena and experiences.
Your subconsious is a an influence HOW you PERCEIVE your 'reality'.
WHAT REALITY are YOU CREATING?
