"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.

My mom has some physics convention in Mexico City, and I'm tagging along. I've read up on some tourists sites, but any of you guys have suggestions on places to go/memorable activities to do? I'll have some time alone, but a lot of the time I'll be going around with my 56 year old mother, so keep that in mind! :nono:
 

"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.

Have some authentic tacos. The one's that are cheap but filled with actual steak meat not canned crap. I've visited Mexico a couple times not Mexico City though. Loved the tacos and loved going for Chinese food. Best Chinese I've had has been in Mexico. Visited marketplaces and wasn't very impressed you can find some neat stuff, but my haggling skills must not have been to impressive. I remember trying to get a post card, but they wanted almost $2 and I could only get him down to $1.... way to high for a piece of paper.

Haven't been since I was very young though so I couldn't speak for the nightlife etc. Stay alert though and watch out for your safety

Yeah I'm looking forward to trying the food...my city has a pretty big Latino population so I've tried a lot of authentic Mexican food, but it should be interesting. Anybody got anything else? I do speak Spanish, btw.

Getting robbed, or even kidnapped will be a great experience! :woo:

That aside, I don't know what tourist thing you could do in chilangolandia. People who go there go to do things you can do any day in the u.s., like shopping, six flags, maybe go see the national soccer team. But as far as really tourist things, aside from food, maybe museums, but I honestly wouldn't know about that except from Frida Khalo's house.

That is a dangerous city! Watch yourself.
 

"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.

The internet is your friend..

If you like history, they've plenty of ruins there to check out.

If you like tacos, you can't go wrong.

But watch your wallet, and get one of those hidden belt pockets so you can't be pick-pocketed.
