"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.

Who has done this?

I have and some common themes:

I have huge standards. All my past gfs have said they felt so pressured to be perfect due to my standards.

That I am very moody and hard to deal with sometimes. Mr Perfect to mr BITE YOUR HEAD OFF.

That I am a very positive person

That they all respect me as a person.

The physical was the best part

That I am a great friend but not a good bf

They loved me and talked about marriage

I am obviously with none of them now. Some I have broken up with some I have not. (really 3 LTR mainly of 3 yrs, 2 yrs and 8 months)

Can you take anything from this process? What are your thoughts about my recurring themes and how can I benefit from knowing them? How can I improve myself from them?
 

"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.

I personally wouldnt be turning to past shags for a self evaluation. For starters theyre chicks which means by default even if they could lay it out logically for a way for you to self improve (which they cant) they would probably get it ass backwards and tell you to lose the traits that got them wet in the first place.

Its obvious b!tches dont even know what they want for themselves being creatures of emotion so to risk such an important thing as becoming a better man is pure lunacy.

And honestly why give a sh!t what your ex's would say anyway?

Yea, and maybe you should make a movie about it!

Oh, wait, someone beat you to it. It's called High Fidelity.

I analyse myself because I want to get the most out of this life!

A very good point though!

excellent points on not trusting women's judgements. Absolutely correct.

You get the most out of your life but living and moving forward, not self-analysis.

Self-analysis inevitably leads to self-consciousness

This should be a proverb.

HA!

That was good!

yendor28,

I think you're ready to grow up and stop fooling yourself.

I've done the same thing and I realized it was a movie I've seen before. Tired of the same old ending I'm ready go about it differently; however, I'm not so desperate that I'll take anything.

Concentrate on the areas you need to work on if it's really that important you. I mean at 28 you still can learn alot about yourself. I'm 31 and I'm still maturing.

"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.
