"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.

Mods please take correct action. I'm just a humble member of this board trying to get by in my day to day life.

Giovanni, you don't need to be bitter. Surely life isn't that bad?

i heard they have 5 mile warm up runs
also i saw a special in the whole camp and to me it looks like the 1st week is the worst, because they yell at you nonstop and just almost run u down, but in a good way. the rest just looked like lots of hard labor training.
i think ima join too whether or not i go to college.
if you think that stuff sounds too hard these a delayed entry prog were your recruter will get u ready for boot camp

Semper Fi!

thats where you meet up with a bunch of other guys doing the same thing as you and the recruiter makes you run until you puke. you cant stop until you do.
 

"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.
