"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.

I wouldn't want people getting pissed off at others, but would discussing the situation in Iraq be that political? I mean, there's a freakin' war going on over there.

I would like to have an opportunity to talk about it (without having the thread closed)....even if it means creating another board.

There are plenty of smart posters in SoSuave.com. I would love to hear their opinions on events.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Because the "No blood for Oil" crowd would jump in within seconds and turn it political.

Do you think that the war in Iraq can be discussed without politicising it?

Yes, I believe we can discuss the war on Iraq without turning it political. If we only stick to military issues - such as the effectiveness and efficiency of both US and rebel military tactics, value of certain strategic decisions and operations.

For the "No blood for oil" crowd, we can look at how much blood is worth what amount of oil, also using a cost analysis examination method. For example, I argue each gallon of oil is worth 0.2461 pints of blood using the [33x < -24/12 (23xy - 12x)], and other people must arrange their calculations to work out if that whether that approach is valid.
 

"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.

There are plenty of forums to discuss politics and war related issues at. This is not one of them.


End of question.
