This is a topic we don't address enough on this page. Most people don't have iron wills. How do you guys keep yourselves motivated?
"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.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I personally do t'ai chi on a nearly daily basis. It gives me a ton of energy and motivation as well as keeps me in good shape and able to defend myself. I can apply the martial art principles to real life situations that are non-physical but still confrontational.

Thats not exactly what I was looking for. See, the kind of people I am referring to are those that can't get motivated to GO to tai chi classes. You see what I'm saying?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is off of T-mag, I thought I was motivated enough just wanting to look good naked, but this really topped me off....when I'm having a bad day, all I need to do is read this.

Re: This is Motivation
Great article. I wish I had someone like that guy to motivate me. But I have to do it all alone... *sniff*Originally posted by FekTraz
