"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.

I really need a cheer up...

I really need a cheer me up, my life just went to hell in an instant. Turns out the college I attend ****ed up billing and I owe them around 1000 euros in 1 go, which I don't have.

I came back yesterday from the Sziget festival in Hungary, found a stack of bills. On top of that found out that I'm going to lose a substantial part of my income, which is the part that I used to save money off for vacations and travelling and partially to live from. So I probably won't be able to travel for a while AND really have to pay attention to how I spend my money and then to top it off, the girl I was dating and fell in love with, lied about a lot of things to me.

When I returned from a quick toilet break, I found her crying and shivering on the couch. After she fessed up a few things, I walked back to the my bathroom, got her hairbrush, took her shoes and dumped it all in front of her with the message to get the **** out of my house. Each and every time I see to lose myself into a girl, they turn out to either lie or do stuff that breaks my thrust in them.

So now I'm back to being in financial problems, heartbroken and no plates. Cold approaches really don't seem to work with Dutch people for some reason, because every time I try, I hardly get a response or a really short crappy conversation. Maybe I'm bad at it, but I've never actually had a good conversation from a cold approach.
 

"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.

Too many places at once
Here's a quote from a friend that got me through some tough times.

"Look on the bright side... at least you're not charged with 2nd degree murder"

Don't mean to make light of your suffering, but this was priceless >

I like to use a quote a buddy of mine told me that gets me through tough times:
"Work hard, be cool, the hardship is only temporary."

The way I interpret it, whether it be school or your job, work hard and be the good reliable employee/student. Be cool. While ur doing your work, be that uplifting fun guy to be around. And what ever struggles you are going through, its only temporary. The better times are ahead.

Sometimes stuff has to get worse to get better...about the girl...one thing i have learnt is that girls who lie aint worth it...so consider yourself lucky
 

"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.

Really! Things got a little more expensive this year and you can't vacation and you broke up with your girlfriend. Welcome to the real world.

Are you a girl who needs to vomit her emotions?

So you are 1000 EUR in debt, and you claim this causes your life to 'go to hell'

You really need to get some perspective.

At least you have a job, be grateful

You sound like quite the girl, "But now I have to cut back and won't be able to afford my designter clothes for a while!'


Your problem (or lackthereof) can be solved with this epic quote from Kobe Bryant: 'Just man the hell up, I don't see what the problem is.'

Hey, I'm new here. This is my very first post.

What I like to do when I get really down is watch a good ol' school action movie. A MAN action movie like The Expendables or Undisputed 3, not a GIRLY action movie like Resident Evil or Charlie's angels. Never watch GIRLY action movies. That will depress you more in my opinion.

When I watch an old school action movie, it always puts things into perspective and makes me say things like,"Holy crap! Jason Statham's girlfriend just left him for another guy who is now physically abusing her! And I thought my problems were bad!".

My point is, these old school action heroes have bigger problems than we do, and they take it like a man and deal with it like men do. It really makes our problems seem smaller.

Give it a try! Hope this cheers you up some.

PS: I am not telling people to resort to violence like these action heroes do, just take the bad times like they do.
