"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.

Pair of shoes

A couple months ago I ordered a pair of shoes I thought I would like. Been wearing them a while and the left one chafes my ankle and the right one was causing my Achilles to hurt.

I can’t return them and get my money back, there’s actually nothing wrong with them, they just don’t fit.

So, I stubbornly kept wearing them and rationalizing to myself I’d break them in. Hell, I think I even started walking differently to fit into those damn shoes.

I was a little surprised at myself at how hard it was to throw those fvckers in the dumpster and get some new ones. For a little while there I even told myself they really weren’t all that uncomfortable after all. And, truth is, I think I actually believed it too!

Whew, good thing I had another pair to wear.

Yep, it’s always good to have some spare shoes.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Good analogy. :up:

I'm going to have to remember that next time I'm standing next to a hotty at the craps table.

"C'mon! Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!"

Great analogy, Commander Grinder.:)

And just think:

Wonder how much BETTER a guy would feel if he realized he could be JUST AS COMFORTABLE walking around in bare feet----maybe occasionally "wanting", but not "NEEDING' any shoes at all?

Wonder how even much more of an epiphany THAT revelation would be?:rockon:

Thanks.

They were damn fine looking shoes too.

I don’t think I can go barefoot yet after ditching those. I'm working on it.
