"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.

Suicide....the Stoics say that you should consider it and leave it as an option....like a door in the far corner of your mind...

When things get really bad.....consider it....the door...it's there.....it's an option.....

the "problem" doesn't seem so important or bad now.....

I guess I won't choose the door.....what was the "problem" again.? lets find a solution.....
 

"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.

Me? Yes perfectly fine, thank you.

I'm talking about a mindset. It's a stoic "trick" if you will....

Everything is relative......if one leaves the option of suicide there, your "problem" in life seems so small in comparison.....


....why not go back to confronting the so called "problem" with your new mindset...
 

"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.

I'm a big fan of stoicism, but I've never read anything like that from them. It's mostly about being unattached to anything. Who said that? Epicurus?

Either way, it's true.

Acceptance of death made me think of Epicurus.

One of my favorite stoic quotes:

All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way.

—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS

You know, your response doesn't need me to say anything or add anything to ruin it. It's perfect as it is....

But forgive me, I will....

The quote is so fitting......tonight I spoke with somebody about a previous "conflict" that I had.....(a person who was an energy source of financial gain..........let's just say I "temporarily lost" something and I "reacted" in anger.....let's just say that I thought that the "loss" was going to be substantial and have a long term effect.....

....,this person has, some time later created an opportunity for me that has more than (4 times) made up for the "previous loss"....

....however, I just accepted it and didn't acknowledge it...I've gained...but...

I realised I was quick to lash out.....but I've been slow to show my hand in appreciation and gratitude.....

@Reykhel Check out The Daily Stoic. There's a daily quote with a follow up from the author (who is Robert Greene's protege). I'm finishing it up this month. Great book.
Thanks my man.....but I don't trust that fvck

Look, we subscribed but then we found out the man is a marketing salesman snake..,....he don't have anything to do with the quote you just put up........

....it saddens me that stoicism is being sold as a modern day life hack by this charlatan
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

He's bringing quotes, like the one I just put up, to the masses. 366 of them, to be exact.

The quote for today is fvcking perfect for this thread.

“Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day. . . . The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.” —SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 101.7b–8a
