"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.

I'm generally against marriage because it's not advantageous for men.

But I'm also incredibly ambitious. Hear me out.

Do you think it's wise to only consider for an LTR or marriage women who come from families with high income backgrounds in an attempt to launch yourself into the aristocracy?

I think if you're a reasonable looking guy, with an already decent job and are prepared to learn game you could probably do this.

I know a guy from college who is getting married to a girl he met while skiing in France. She's one of those Annabele von Trumpen III type chicks. Good family. Loaded.

While they've been together her parents have contributed significantly to the deposit on their house, lent them money to buy and renovate other properties and help them get started.

He's 25 and is doing really well for himself.

You might say it's not fair wealth that he has earned since it's not entirely self made but who cares. The reality is he has a headstart on the rest of us. Anyone who understands compound interest knows how important this is. He has a house and is well on his way to building equity while the rest of my friends contemplate years of paying off student debts before scrapping enough pennies together to put a down payment on a property...in ten years.

We grind and grind while he continues to compound his wealth and navigate through the aristocracy.

I'm genuinely considering trying to get into an Ivy League college (yes for the career prospects) but also so I can have that stamp of pedigree and meet the "right" kind of people.
 

"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.
