"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.

Been seeing this girl for a little while. Things are going pretty well, there's only one major problem.

She's a HUGE snob. And for me it's not a problem that she wants to go to art galleries and nice restaurants; I'm fond of those things myself. The trouble is that all of my friends and any place I like to go to that isn't super-chic is instantly labelled 'sketchy' and beneath her concern. That includes used-record stores, good inexpensive restaurants, most parts of town, and even public places like Harvard Square.

I'm literally amazed by some of the things that she says; like "You can't go to these places just because you want to; what will people say?" or "If most people say something is sketchy, i can't go near it".

Advice?
 

"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.

my advice is to go to the "sketchiest place" you can find in town, and **** her then and there...

Thanks; a crack house might be a bit much.
 

"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.

Just convince a bunch of people to start declaring her favorite places are "sketchy" or at least someone she looks up to. Then she would either listen to her friends and never go anywhere, because someone said it was "sketchy" or she would eventually be forced to just try something out even if it was "sketchy".
Aside from that, I'm an artist myself, and I can assure you Art Galleries are "sketchy"...I mean, c'mon...that's what artists do! Hello!
