Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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.....
 

"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.

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...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.....

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

@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

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
