"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.

Hi there.

For the first 18 years of my life i vowed, i would never let it happen. My dad was addicted and there was no f*cking way it was gonna happen to me. Then i tried it, first time was alright, then whenever i started getting drunk i wanted to do it. Last night, i smoked 4 cigarettes, most i've ever smoked.

I never thought it could happen, i always thought i had the willpower to not get addicted, but it happened. Lets just say this has been the worst day of my life.

I have never wanted anything in my life more than a smoke. If your a smoker than i finally understand what you go through when you tried to quit. This is hell man, everytime i see a smoke i want one.

If you aren't smoking and don't want to start, don't ever smoke one. You'll think "Oh i won't get addicted" And you will, it'll blindside you and you can't control it. You think you can, but you can't Nicotine is the devil.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I know what you mean.

Actually...I don't cuz I don't drink or smoke. AND NEVER WILL.

My dad was actually like, "have a taste of thie beer" and I was like oh **** dude that smells like fukin alcohol.

**** that sounded stupid. Actually I was like, man that smells like shat!

My dad quit smoking just for me when I was born to protect both our lungs. I'm not gonna let that go to waste.

I think there was a study, that when people are drunk, they want to smoke.

Sometimes, when I'm drunk I smoke a a couple of cigarettes, but no more then 3. Never got addicted, though.

Good for you dude, NEVER go against your word. I did.

Luckily my dad never smoked inside, so i never had to deal with it.

Also my dad was an alcoholic when i was in 5-6th grade. I vowed i would never drink alcohol. Hell i wouldn't even drink communion wine. Its funny how things change.

Stick with what you believe. Peer pressure is a motherf*cker. It hits hard and unexpected.

Those video tapes from DARE are stupid. No kid comes up to you and is all "Hey man wanna joint"

Its more subtle, all your friends are smoking, and you start thinking, man i wanna try that... and whatever you believed somehow is forgotten in an instant.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I only smoke when I drink, I've been doing that since around March. If I'm drunk, the urge to smoke is really strong but when I'm sober I never even think about it. Which is good, because I really don't wanna become completely addicted.

Take my advice.

If you don't want to get addicted, stop, now! I don't care if you haven't got addicted yet, you will. Its how all my friends got addicted. And its how i almost got addicted.

Don't tempt fates.

Why don't you guys smoke weed instead of cigarettes? It's temporary effects are stronger, and it's not addictive.

"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.

You aren't addicted phsyically yet, most physically addicted smokers smoke one about every 40 minutes. I know this because I'm physically addicted. Physically addicted smokers usually go shake vigorously for about a week once they decide to quit, after a week - two weeks you no longer have cravings. What you're experiencing is only mental-- you want to smoke, you enjoy it, and you don't want to quit.

Because smoking weed is not fun, its stupid. But this thread is not gonna get started on that. I smoked for 2 years and hated it, boring.

Lets laugh for 20 minutes, lets get the munchies, lets eat junkfood, lets pass-out. hmm funtimes...

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
