"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.

and my bicep hurts and theres discoloration on my bicep and forearm. I had my blood taken a week ago yet my arm still hurts like a b*tch. Is this normal or what? I can understand it hurting but this is rediculous.
 

"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.

My mom called them and they said it was normal and to put heat on it. Its gotten a little better but there are times when it gets pretty bad.

It's normal a WEEK after the blood draw?? I'm no doctor, but it sounds like you have an infection. No small injury should be hurting for that long...

Maybe YOU should call your doctor because your mom probably left some parts out. You're 19, your mom shouldn't do something like this for you anyway.

I fainted for a few seocnds 30 mins after, threw up a couple of times over the course of the afternoon, felt weak for about 6-7 days.
 

"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.

When I almost died from alchohol poisoning on new years they put a lot of needles in me so my arm hurt for a week but the pain went away eventually. The needle marks are still kinda visible which is scary but it's fading slowly. :woo:
