"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.. it's just this thing about being a man.. i just got a question about it.
All of you keep saying that one shouldn't be obsessed by a woman or feel that he needs a woman. But hey.. what if someone points a gun to the THE WOMAN YOU LOVE? would u take a bullet? or would you live the rest of your life "aiming for your goals and dreams bla bla bla" and that bullshyt?
If someone insulted your girlfriend.. wouldn't you stand up for your girl even if it means you could die for it?

im just curious.. what would u "real men" do?
 

"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.

Well it depends. Do you really love a girl enough to give up your own life? I mean really, do you actually love her (and not just think you love her because she gives good sex or something)? Answer that.

I see paradox...

Assuming she feels the same, giving up ones life for a girl takes from her an immensely important part of her life...

I dont understand why anyone would be willing to do this...

yeah that's MY answer.. but read my thread again.. i wanna know what others think about this. since everyone is talking about that a woman should only be there for you to share your already complete life with, and not having her to complete you.

Well it depends.

You basically asked:

Would you stand up for the one that you love?


I *might* do it if I felt that the person being defended would do so for me, if they were in a similar situation (and if I was 200% sure about my feelings on the matter).

And that's if I don't chicken out at the last minute. I know that sounds wimpish but think about it. If you REALLY were in such a situation, how likely would it be that you wouldn't also wimp out? Personally, there'd be a definately possibility that I'd wimp out. I also think that most people here (and most people in general for that matter) would probably wimp out too. Think about it, you might DIE because of that. That's especially significant to me because I'm not a believer in an after-life.

While I strongly believe in community spirit, people all have some selfish tendencies (some more than others). Plus I'm an only child, which I suppose automatically makes me more selfish. And keep in mind, taking significant pain or even DYING is a pretty fvcking tall order for anybody.

Who said anything about being a coward?

Is self preservation being cowardly?

If someone calls your woman a "B#tch" - are you willing to die for it?

My mentality is simple.

i will not throw down with someone unless I am prepared to hurt them totally.

Self defense is no game.

I have been training martial arts for many years - and i'm not talking sport fighting. I'm not about to get into a situation over a parking spot at the mall - or because someone calls a chick I'm with a"B#tch".

yes i actually love her.

I assume this is the Chicago chick?
 

"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.

I probably would risk taking a bullet for anyone who is close to me. It's not just my woman, it's my close friends and family.

If someone insulted your girlfriend.. wouldn't you stand up for your girl
She's a big girl, she should be able to stand up for herself.

It's a simple question and I can answer it no problem:

But explain this to me:
1) What is love?
2) What is "your girl"?
3) What is "insult"?

Calling someone a "b1tch" can have many different meanings.

I'll have no problem using force if he's being overly disrespectful/threatening then sure...

If it's just "my girlfriend" getting a kick of out seeing 2 guys fight for her or something, then fvck them both.

I ain't dying for my own kinfolk let alone some b!tch.

Love can't bring you back from the grave and she damn sure wouldn't die for you.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

So you'd take a bullet for a girl a couple thousand miles away who is banging another dude right about now?
