"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.
The Future of America?
- Thread starter Burroughs

"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.

Burroughs,
I think that this is a truly awful piece, but how you can draw a parallel with Americas future warrants further investigation. Not on any possible evidence that you have, but more on your state of mind.
I will be brutally honest here, and say that the rage that you feel which you demonstrate here on the forum, is eating away your peace of mind.
Yes many of us are all too aware of the injustices against many sectors of our brotherhood, but for the love of God can you try to find some good karma?
The ONLY reason that I am writing this, is for the sake of your little girl, whom you've mentioned in a previous post.
I am far from a raving leftie, commy, PC shiit. More possibly further right than you, but honestly, really honestly, do you think that seeing her father so distressed about the world is going to help her become a woman who feels good about men and the world?
I really urge you to find some kind of way of coming to terms with some of your anger...if only that it helps you to bring up a happy daughter, and who herself has a happy marriage, who then produces many happy middle class American grandchildren, who listen to your mellowed views in awe, in your old age.
Good luck Burroughs, and God Bless America

I'm sure that will be a real comfort to his daughter, knowing that daddy held Tony blowme's hand and sang Kumbayah as we all circled the toilet bowl.TonyBaloney said:
You may not be a leftard but you sure smell like one.
And lol at any "future" his grown daughter might have. The standard NOW is bitterness and the cold eyes of a cat after the carousel ride is over for most women, Have a guess if it gets any better when we finally do reach critical mass Sherlock.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Dear Burroughs,
What an interesting Post...I visit Honkers every couple of years,it is by Asian standards very prosperous and expensive for the traveller...very clean,and orderly...Must say that most places the Brits colonised,they left in a good state...just as did the Romans...And yeah your great Nations Demise does resemble Romes decline,But I ask you fatal Jay have you been to Rome lately?seems very prosperous to me...As I have said before When Britain was at her Peak,the Sun never set on the British Flag,her mighty fleet ruled the Oceans of the World,but her poor starved...Today they are not worth a plugged two Bob bit,but they have a Welfare system the envy of the World...And your great Nation would be so much better off ,without the burden of Defense and the cost of these futile little Wars...But as my friend Tony says,God bless America,with all your faults we love you still!

Once I was in West LA, way out by 405, and saw literally tens of thousands of men pushing shopping carts and sleeping in their own filth next to abandoned commerical buildings. Living in cages isn't the future of America. It's our present.

Mehh, Whatever redirects you getting all pissy over adult conversation toward our current social climate for the 50th time.TonyBaloney said:
Pissy at me? Great, I can live with that. Try and leave the big boy talk alone though eh? Obviously upsets you.
btw you sure your not a lefty? That was a last resort tantrum if I ever saw one.
"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.

I think Looper has a pretty accurate portrayal of america's future.
This is an example of China's obsession with class. Those people that work in HK, don't need to live like that... in the mainland they can have a 2 bedroom apartment for 300 HK dollars a month. HK is the Western 'starbucks' city of China and anyone who is 'anyone' in China, lives there.
