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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
Pook is a legend in my eyes. He didn't get it 100%, but like you said, he needs to be the foundation for anyone visiting this site for the first time.I alternate between being furious at Millennials and wanting to help them, so I want to tell everybody who doesn't want to be brainwashed-the quickest and surest way to do that is POOK. Pook is the most direct pathway to UN brainwashing yourself. Read it and immerse yourself in it. Read it daily. Want it to be true. Even when I was so brainwashed I didn't know up from down, something inside me said, "Listen to this man."
If you give up, or if you decide he is too outdated because from the early 2000s, nobody can help you. See this is how it works:
-Sexual brainwashing
-Political brainwashing
-Religious brainwashing
You have to start with Pook as the foundation because it erases sexual brainwashing. Then you can work from there. Pook is like the coach (or father) you never had.
And lest you think this is immoral, I am a practicing Roman Catholic, church every Sunday, etc. etc. etc. But I'm NOT brainwashed.
Good luck everyone. And PLEASE want to not be a loser. I need company. As it is I'm going to have to marry an Xer because females my age are morons. Please get with the program or else you're not going to be successful when the Boomers lose their tyrannical grip on society.
OK, I'm done
