"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 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.

Hey.... I have not served in the army myself, but both my parents have, my grandparents, uncles and aunts... And from what they told me, the army was ALOT harder than what they thought it would be... And you have to aknowlege the risk of death.

In my honest opinion i wouldnt go to the army because in my eye's its a waste of a good few years where i could be doing so much MORE with my life... but there you go, thats my 2c worths;)

Mate, I aint in any forces myself but if I was you I'd join the RAF out of the three.

I reckon they are the most well respected.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

In my 05 Impreza STi
I'm in the U.S. Army.. been in for 2 years now.. Personally its been the best thing I have ever done for myself.. You sacrafice a lot and its a shock at first but then you learn to live like this and its not so bad.

The one thing a lot of people have trouble with is realizing that there will ALWAYS!!!!! be someone in charge of you telling you where to be and when to be there and what to be wearing. As long as you understand that and are willing to make a sacrafice and be a member of a team and lose the whole "SELF" complex you will be fine.

PM me if you wanna.. Good luck brother

I'm not a pacifist, I'm deeply into real martial arts, but I will NEVER EVER give up my right to not use violence when I don't see the necessity and I will NEVER EVER allow that ANYBODY ELSE tells me against whom I have to use violence, or even whom to kill.

You may have to fight in unjustified wars, you might have to use violence against people who are not a thread. You give up one of your most basic freedoms. Think about it.

MoveYourA$$.. and your brain will follow
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

All I can say is good luck on the trainazium, although I believe the new one is less likely to kill you:D

All I know is I have lots of mates who are coming out, especially infantry and marines. It's basically sh1t and it's getting worse.

Having said that, for a lot of people it's a way to get out of the ghetto if you can't box and don't want to sell substances.

As someones said RAF or maybe REME or RE, there is no glamour in being an ex-para on the dole with no trade and mental health issues that no-one wants to help with.

Good luck
