"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.

The high school forum is filled with nothing but journals and that is making it really dull. im not trying to say that journals are bad i mean that would be hypocritical because i own two lol. im trying to say that the high school forum needs some excitement!! we are the future of the don juans we need to make this a fun experience not something of a monotone.
 

"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.

Proposal

scudge said:
I agree. What are you proposing?
i am proposing that there should be a series of treads that involve participation because in the high school forum there are a lot of lurkers who just read and read and then do not practice what they read. i saw a thread earlier about some kind of 2nd annual competition which i signed up for but now i realize that since those competition are for the more advanced don juan the challenges could be awkward for the high school DJ's so i suggest they make a teenage version

also i feel that they should have moderators for the teenage sub forums that are actually teenagers :rock: it might help

black jesus, NDJ is a mod and a teenager. He's going through the exact same stuff, even keeps a journal of it.

I could get into threads that have discussion though. It's hard to read through so many journals and find the discussion points, especially when it takes so long to read some journals already. If I have a good question that I come through in my journal, I'll definitely start posting it up here, to see if we can get some good talks going. Good criticism.
 

"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.

Perhaps we should put all the Journals in a subforum?

Norway, bumping this so you see it. A subforum for journals is a brilliant idea.

I think the next logical step is to rip down the stickies we have now (maybe move to an Archive subforum?) and put up a definitive High School bible. Between Nino and Norway and the other brilliant minds on this forum and the rest, I think we could really make something solid. Give back to the community that started us on our way.

Now a journal subforum isn't necessarily a bad idea, but I think that we should be careful that we keep our priorities straight.

This forum shouldn't be about discussing theory or tactics, or talking about things that happened in the past, it should be about actually getting girls. The only threads that reflect that are journals.

It's really important that people get feedback through their journal, so it makes me nervous to put them in a subforum where fewer people will check them and read through new posts.

Something to keep in mind.

It'll keep it more clear. People will know what are journals, and if they want to read them, they'll know where to find them. There can be a sticky, with a list of active journals and some must-read journals.
Than we can use the Highschool part for information, and tactics, and reflect the results in the journals.
 

“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.

I think it would be a bad idea. Tactics vs ideals, ideals win every time. There aren't many ideals threads besides the journals, which are dense with them.

Action > Information x 10

This.

I think all of you newcomers are to focused on the small picture at the moment. After a couple of dozen girls you'll want to stop posting a thread for each one. Especially when a pattern emerges. You will also catch that pattern a lot faster if you have a journal.

I think journals are more a sign of life than death.

Starting with Norwegian, followed up by myself, nova, and a few others and now we have a pretty active High School Forum with people who read the journals and are inspired to participate for themselves.

Otherwise this forum would just be a bunch of the same old questions about what to text her or online gaming...

I second BPH's comment.
Journals are sometimes the best signs of progress. My journal kept me accountable of my progress (or lack of, at certain occasions).

Also, I like how each journal is like a subforum itself. People can give constructive criticism, praise when deserved, and encouragement. I know that without certain posters who were there, I would have given up by now.

Maybe it would be nice, if there isn't going to be a subforum, to put a journal tag in front of the title of the journals (Something like [J], or [JRNL]), so people can easily see the difference between journals and ordinary questions.
 

"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'm actually digging the journals. Way back in the day (I won't age myself by saying how far back...Older than my join date though!) there were a LOT of questions but no real responses. With the journals, I am actually getting to see a lot of you guys evolve and step your game up. This is actually one of the highest points I have seen the High School Forum at since the days of The Matrix: Reloaded, Brazilian Blues Boy, Lorenzo/KinoOI, Jester, Whatsupwiddat, misunderstood??, Eternal, Cablelight, syncmaster, Nocturnal, and the other greats.

Yeah, there are some things I'd change, but right now, this place is showing life. Let's keep it up!

Lol. Missed this post when it happened.

It's interesting to know that this forum has a history, beyond the months that I've been on it. And it's cool to know I'm following in a successful person's footsteps.

I post a lot up here (because I check this site as obsessively as my facebook, unfortunately) and I know I help some people, but I'm looking forward to some of these other guys catching up to the progress I've made so far (and me catching up to the ones ahead). Journals are the only threads I really ENJOY reading. I'll have opinions on those random topics, but I like understanding the person behind the name.

Can you guys imagine the day when every member of this core group has a 10+ page journal? We're going to know each other well, and know what we're each capable of. There will be a lot more stories of girls being kissed and virginities being lost.

For some of us though, we have one semester and the summer left. Then it's off to college or the rest of our lives. Let's get to work.
