Stumbled over this video clip..

Thoughts?
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.
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.
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.
Those 99% are useful for the system and society in getting control on you, bringing you down, and making your position and movements known. So while it's not useful for you, it's useful for other entities.99% of modern women are useless. My thought hasn’t changed
This sums up a lot of what we try to do here.Succinctly speaks on what women are and how they think about men. I would show this video to a newbie to the manosphere to get him started.Stumbled over this video clip..

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Very good point chief. Do you think abudance helps with this, or even if you have several 'plates' in rotation, its still difficult (for most) to overcome natural draw to the one that you know could create more issues down the line?i’m not sure if irony or paradox is the appropriate word to describe a lot of male attitudes on this forum. And yes I also laugh at my own attitudes as well so I’m not singling certain people out.
Think about it. Seriously.
The majority, if not all of us joined this site because we encountered women that we were attracted to, yet knew better, but still found ourselves attracted to them.. and desiring them.
And yet, a lot of members fail to see their own hypocrisy. Have I been a hypocrite as well? Yes the difference, is that I now own it. Hopefully more of you will too, soon.
Pandora's box?So this brings up the chicken and the egg problem. I would argue that women like alphas in spite of their indifference. The female was attracted to the guy first. This cultivated indifference in the man which made her like him more.
Indifference can't help you that much if there is no initial high level interests on her part. But being desperate and clingy will nuke your chances.

Any man with options has likely done the same thing (I have some earlier regrets as well). Speaking for myself, I didn't start thinking more clearly until my 50's. I suppose that until hormones settle down a little, our desires are usually going to override our logic.I've certainly given passes to more attractive women in the past, putting aside more 'sensible' choices I had available. That was in my 20's so maybe wouldn;t be so foolish in future, but who knows...
Not sure how that Alanis Morrissette video relates to the above topic?
Funny you bring this up. I had a fwb for a time that, loooking back on things, I think she was either trying to groom me to become a revolutionary assassin or trying to figure out if I was oneThose 99% are useful for the system and society in getting control on you, bringing you down, and making your position and movements known.
