"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.

Stop making every thread a sticky!

I don't disagree with this. What would everyone consider to be a good max number of threads to have stickied on each forum? My opinion is 0-3; as everyday users, whats your opinion?

By the way, moved to AE.

stickies should be for MUST read threads. Eg. Big announcements/rules and the like.

Not someones thread about how to get rich for example.

thats my opinion.
 

"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 say at max 3... and it should be important information regarding the function of the forum. Not just "good" threads.
As an example - a note to new people saying to read the bible, the forum rules and regulations (prevents people from saying "well i didn't know i wasn't allowed to blah blah blah") and that kind of thing.
