"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.

well school is almost out, and ill be getting a job. I was thinking about getting a job in a construction company, but i thought about it, and asked myself how many kids my age do this kinda job?

aside from working at a store as a cashier or work in a fast food restaurant, what else do people my age get jobs in?
 

"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.

If you can find a job that's not retail "GO FOR IT", unless you are a social misfit then getting a retail job is good therapy as you are forced to interact with people. Especially if it's a clothing store a la Gap or Banana Republic. I currently work retail and I hate it. It pays the bills though.

The lowest form of employment, even lower than retail, is telemarketing.

Sure, the pay is decent - well above minimum wage, actually.

However, you are the bottom rung of a company that does not know your name. your supervisors do not know your name. You just make calls and try to sell things until they see it fit to lay you off.

Even if you work hard and have a high sales record, it doesn't matter because they won't write reference letters. You are nothing there.

DO NOT WORK AT A CALL CENTRE!

Get a job at a country club / golf course.
Laid back + a bit of social therapy.

I'm also applying for a retail position at Blockbuster :rolleyes: b/c i didn't get enough hours for the summer.

That's gonna suck.
 

"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.

My biggest regret is settling for retail jobs during high school and college.
With a little bit of moxie, I could have gotten office or other jobs paying far better.
My suggestion: register with a temp agency, especially one that has in-house training on various PC skills (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) so you can learn on their dime and become more valuable.
As for polishing social skills, I have to admit, few things beat the retail environment, especially if it's a nice department store.
