"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hello, all.

I don't know if it's the right forum for this, but here goes...

I'm posting this becaus I need a MAN's opinion.

It's about how to stand up to my dad, who's always, ALWAYS criticising what my sisters and I do. My sisters seem to be ok with it. I'm 30. They're 27. He's not like this with just us. He does it with EVERYBODY.

It seems he can never be satisfied.

And when I try to confront him, my sisters side with my dad out of pity and gang up on me for being a ****.

It's like everything we do needs his approval and I think it's one of the main reasons I block and can't advance faster in life.



How do I deal with this situation?????
 

"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.

Father knows best. Isn't 30 a little old for this "my dad is being mean" reality? Just putting it out there.
