"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.

Two things I'd be very interested in advice on avoiding


1) The jealous feeling I get when I see another guy with a hottie that I want. Doesn't matter who I'm dating at the time, I still get that jealous twinge. I also think, I'm better than him and all this bull**** that I don't need running through my head, or I compare myself to him. I get pissed either way.

2) Sometimes I hate seeing all the other dudes in a bar. I don't know why, but I've posted about this before. I guess it's because deep down I hate competition. I hate it when some guys talking to a girl I want to talk to. I hate the fact that a hot girl might have 10 guys hitting on her all night. It sucks.

Oh BTW, I really don't get jealous when a girl I'm dating talks to another guy or anything like that though. So I guess I have a different jealousy response.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I once heard a very good quote for when you see a really hot girl:

'no matter how hot she is, somebody somewhere is sick of her whining'.

Works for me! :D

If you felt better about yourself, more confident and self assured, you wouldn't care about seeing guys with other girls or guys in a club. Actually you may even feel happy for them if they were with someone. The fact that you are jealous because they have something you don't or you see them as competition is your downfall.

Boosting your confidence and accepting that you don't NEED to have a girlfriend will stop you from comparing your current status with other guys. Boosting your confidence help you not worry about the fact that other guys are around.

Thanks I think some of my jealousy still stems from my total AFC days, however some of it now is just anger that I have to deal with these numbnuts in the competition!

Before I wouldn't ever try to compete against the hardcore players but now I will.

The only person that you should compete with is yourself, no one else matters. Are you improving and doing better than you were previously? Stop worrying about comparing yourself to others, it's apples and oranges. Compare only against yourself, apples to apples.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Everybody hates competition but without it, the game won't be as fun. I get jealous too sometimes when I see a dude trying to pick up a hottie, I wanted to pick up. But the person I blame for this is me and not the other guy. He is just another Shark hunting for a piece of meat and he got to her first.

Eliminate the jealousy by hitting on many girls quickly as soon as you see them and don't wait until another guy comes by. (remember the 3 second rule and hesitation leads to masterbation) If you want a true challenge you can always try to go up there and block the guy or wait until he goes to the bathroom and then use your game on the hottie. I don't have to tell you that people have gotten into fights over less then that. Like everything in life, its all a risk.

Perhaps that just it - your angry with yourself for letting yourself be an AFC in the old days....

You've got to let the past go.

The past is made you the person you are today.

Just move on.
