"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.

Has anybody seen or heard about this new show? Thoughts?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I plan to watch MTV so my lawyer declares me mentally unfit to stand trial.

I've seen it, unfortunately. For some reason, I knew this topic would come up on here.

I think there is a super slim chance that the two friends would start dating after the "secret" is revealed. I just don't see it happening. If the two friends are very shy, maybe it could happen. The one and a half episodes I saw were kinda sad because you could tell nothing was going to happen between the two friends.

People still watch MTV?
 

"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.

Hah.. I was actually at my mother's house visiting a while ago. I don't have cable at my own apartment so I figured I'd watch some TV for a while before my friends came to pick me up to go out.

I was browsing through channels and the name of the show caught my eye (especially after posting on this board). This show seems so ridiculously fake. Every guy who I saw on the show was AFC down to the nuts and bolts.

The way the producers set it up, the kid who has the crush is made to seem incredibly creepy and insecure. This show just seems like a temporary solution to common day AFC problems. After viewing, the AFC viewer might think "Well, one day it'll work out for me just like it did for him!" and he doesn't feel sad anymore.

MTV never really produced anything great to me.. Besides Headbanger's Ball, Beavis and Butthead, Daria, and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.
