"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.

While being low in inhibition and low in neuroticism and high NT might seem beneficial in certain contexts, it generally poses challenges for developing maturity in men. Maturity typically involves self-control, emotional intelligence, and the ability to navigate complex social landscapes.

On the other hand, low inhibition and high neuroticism can be beneficial for the "IDGAF" mindset, which is also a key aspect of life.

It would be awesome to hear more about how these characteristics change your life and open "doors" to social possibilities.

There's also something that connects to this topic, like a quote I've heard from my friend, the CEO, and I've also seen it in various posts on the forum: "It doesn't matter WHAT you say, or if what you say is nonsense; it's HOW you say it that makes it a statement—something that is 100% true and reliable."

Nothing could be more true.

It's like when you scold a child by saying that if he doesn't eat everything on his plate, the black wolf will come and eat his feet. You know that it's completely fake, but you understand how to say it in order to get the child to follow your advice.

But is this really how we should live our lives with other people? How do we feel about ourselves in such situations? Will this improve our value to others? It’s essentially how politicians talk.

"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.

Since I'm high inhibition, I'm unable to comment on what it's like to be low inhibition.

I will say, however, you made a good point I hadn't thought of. While being low inhibition is beneficial in the sense that you have no qualms about making a move on broads, low inhibition traits also mean you're prone to impulsive behavior (which could come back to bite you)

I think there should be a median treshold for a good combination of both.
For example, what I've noticed lately, is that you can be good, and convince with actions, but there is an irresistible charm for those who can convince with words, even in the long term they can maintain things. (if they are not devoid of content)
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

No problem.

Interesting topic.

Nothing good comes from neuroticism. I can’t think of a single advantage.

Being a bit cautious or slightly inhibited is probably a good thing. But too much inhibition could hold somebody back from success. Too low inhibition could be quite risky.
I think I'm actually mid-high in neuroticism actually
