"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've stepped my dating life in the past several months I've encountered mature, stable career women who seem to get sucked in by scams. 3 so far. Once was selling MonaVie, another One24, now my date tonight tells me about this great thing shes doing called Visalus.

I'm disappointed whenever I learn someone is involved in a pyramid scheme because they always hint around for me to look into it.

Now I have a date tonight that I was really looking forward to, but she's probably going to bring up this exciting new opportunity she's into - and she's a friggin accountant and makes good money, and is skinny, so why get on board with some weight loss scam?

Kinda dampered it a bit. Not sure what to do if she starts talking about it. Don't want to encourage more by being polite and just listening. What should I do, change the subject??
 

"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.

"what is this a sales pitch or a date?"
"I'll take 20! [change topic]"
"Are you trying to tell me I look fat?" (if she's droning on about weight loss products)
"Do you do those sex toy parties too?" - good option to reframe the drone into sexuality.
Start selling her a bridge you just happen to have for sale.
If its a drink, ask her if it contains soylent green

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Haha, repped dude, that is golden. Reminds me to be thinking in constant reframe mode in any sub par situation.

my mother is in Amway and is semi retired because of it. if push came to shove i am pretty sure she could quit working though she could not live her current lifestyle. my mom travels more than anyone i have ever seen today.

but she's been at that since i was in elementary school.

"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.
