"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.

Make an "Approach Journal," Or Field Report Section

To the site administrators or monitors. I think it would a helpful and welcomed edition to this site if you guys added a approach journal/field report section. This section would exclusively dedicated to field approaches and their end results be the results are getting shot down, kissing closing, or f*ck closing. It's easier for the user to have all of the field reports consolidated in one centralized location as opposed to scrolling through pages of threads to field the journal you were last reading. Speaking of approach journals, who has the best ones?
 

"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.

I completely agree. An approach journal section would be great.

As far as a good journal goes, read jon024. Really good. There a few others, but that's my favorite.

i disagree. The only meaningful posts I find in the whole DJ Discussion Forum are the journals and if you take them out it is just b!tching and moaning.

That's exactly why you wouldn't go to the DJ Discussion Forums if they made a journal thread.

Besides, I hate filtering through crap to find gold.

Good idea. As far as best journals, you may want to try another site. We're probably not supposed to say anything about other sites, but *cough* RSD *cough*
 

"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.

I read Jon's and I'm currently on Tihash's approach journal.
