"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.

"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.
Mercury is an extremely toxic element that was, for a long time, dumped into the sea as a biproduct of manufacturing.
Methylmercury is the mercury most often found in nature (usually inside organisms). It builds up and takes a bit for bodies to get rid of it.
Most all fish have at least traces of mercury in their bodies. But carnivorous fish (IE, tuna and shark, amongst others) eat already-poisoned fish, and thereby take in all that extra mercury. Then we eat those over-poisoned tuna and shark.
Poisoning from tuna isn't easy, but it sure ain't difficult. (Moderation is the key, I think.) Salmon and most other freshwater fish are A-okay for consumption; it's mainly just carnivorous and/or sal****er fish that are the "big" hazards.
As Lt dan said, Mercury is a poison. Straight Mercury/"Quicksilver" (the only metal liquid at room temperature) can be absorbed through your skin. It takes a trip through your bloodstream, where it ends up in your menges, your brain-brain, and your brainstem, where it inhibits nerve action. (The Sparknotes: it kills you by killing your brain.)
Methylmercury will also kill you, but since it's diluted a bit with methane, it takes longer. If you start to lose your hair, lose your memory/sex drive, and develop weakening muslces and shaky hands, your brain is dying: lighten up on the tuna/shark intake.
If you're pregnant, nursing, or only in the single digits' worth of age, the less mercury you take in, the better. Mercury messes with your brain, and growing brains need all the help they can get.
Enough of my meandering thought! http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=mercury or Google it!

sounds pretty serious to me
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Absolutely not. At most, 1 can a day. That is probably still too high a risk for me, but you're probably going to be safe with it. The recommended max for pregnant woman and children is 1 can per week.Originally posted by Ripped
...And in my post above I meant you can have as much tuna as you want... not mercury.
Also, if you're going to eat tuna, don't eat Albacore - get the chunk light. Albacore has higher mercury levels.

The recommendation was based on 6 oz cans...
If you're eating a $hitload of tuna, consider cutting back. If you're eating moderate amounts, you're probably fine. If you feel yourself becomming retarded, eat less.
