"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.

Aight yall this gonna sound ****ing crazy for you guys... and for some of you aint even gonna believe me but its ok.. cuz im happy :D
Ok so right i was all depressed and I had no joy in life right.. I was literally more afraid of LIFE than death... I was afraid 2 talk 2 people.. i was even afraid 2 talk 2 my own parents wtf ???? I was going 2 kill myself one day... Then " CLICK "
Something in my brain went off... is started looking the world as like a video game... and that i was the main hero or character in it.. ( YOU follow ? ) I know i should be in a psycho hospital.... But hell nah!!!! My life is so ****ing GREAT !!! This is explained by the post Cartography of Hell.. WHich describes that the human mind is never really accurate and it actually seperates reality from reality itself.... Listen i know its gettin really complicated but i basically look at my life as a video game now... like a 1st person shooter :cool: Wow look at this guy how fucin nerdy he is what a looser you guys are probably sayin.... BUt i bet that my life is 100x more funner than you guys cuz i got nothin restrictin me.... My reality is almost like a fantasy.. almost like a heaven ( like a dream come true ) If anybody in here can see life in this kind of prospective you know the joy i am experiencin right now :up:
 

"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.

No worries if that's what helps you cope. HOWEVER,

"like a 1st person shooter ...i got nothin restrictin me.... My reality is almost like a fantasy"

This sounds dangerous to me. You have to realize that the reality that most people agree to recognize, regardless of how artificial it may be, helps maintain order. There are ways to live with fewer restrictions (pursuing the kind of life you want) without going off the deep end (turning from thinking of yourself as a first-person shooter into actually being a shooter).

Good luck. Be careful.

It's only bad when you think life is like Grand Theft Auto and you go around on a killing spree. But, yes I understand what you are saying. Life is what you make it so keep doing what your doing to be happy!

Careful though, you can't save and load in real life! Too bad I know, but if you die in this game, you die for real too.
 

"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.

This goes back to the reality/perception debate.

subjective reality. But, this means the OP is just a manifestation of my own consciousness. So essentially, you have me to thank for this thread. Or, I have myself to thank for this thread.

Well as long as you didn't have a nervous breakdown and go insane then good for you.
 

"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.

props to you, but just make sure when you are president nobody finds out your secret identity from here. That would be kind of funny to find out the leader of the free world is hallucinating himself in a first person shooter game.

But seriously, thanks for the post. Its a helpful way to look at things.

This post made me laugh, because that's how I always viewed relationships. It's a video game, and if you fail you start over with the next girl until you get really good at it. lol

good concept, poor explanation

i understand why it works for you, but you don't explain what you get out of pretending that life is a video game

LIfe is a VIDEO GAME!!! TEll me what's the difference between life and video game??? You only get 1 life but all the concepts are the same... If you really think about it.. it really aint rocket science.. for one game that really influenced me was elder scrolls morrowind :D so go check it out ( Bethesda needs 2 pay me for this LOLZ!! ) I know your thinking thats not life.. life is way too complicated, it simply cannot be like that... but have you ever tried it ??? Life does not need to be this complicated and this boring.. And besides you are going to die one day anyways might as well live in your own lil heaven .. i do

Now what makes you think you have only one life? Obviously once you have a game over you can start again with a different player.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
