"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.

"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.

Nude photography isn't just about sitting a girl down without clothes on and snapping some shots. You'd be extremely surprised at how difficult it is... the shots that appear in men's magazines such as Maxim, Playboy, etc are all products of hours upon hours of tedious work on the part of a large group of people using a good amount of rather expensive equipment.

That being said, you've got to start somewhere. Here's a list of some of my favorite places on the web related to photography:

I also dabble in photography, and will be dipping the toes into glamour/nudes etc. The results i've gotten even with an incredibly modest camera have been satisfying.

Just mess with the lighting setup, and use an asset of paramount importance to technical gear - your eye...

Read up on basic photography composition "rules" (not that i've done it, as I usually learn things via trial and error and looking at others work for inspiration, but it's probably a good idea...).

Sure. Read as much as you can. Take as many pictures as you can of as many people as you can. Study others photos that you like and try to figure out what aspects of them you like. Study your photographs and figure out what you did wrong, did right, could have done better, or changed completely.

Buy a digicam. Spend $200-300 more than you're comfortable with and get a quality camera. Preferably a DSLR if you're serious about what you're saying you want to do.

Practice makes perfect... and I've got a lot of practicing to do.

Try to learn typing and spelling before moving onto photography. Just a thought.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

In the past few days what have you done regarding photography? Anything?

Here's what I do know - you'll never be anywhere close to good enough to be a photographer for playboy unless you've either got a huge natural talent or you practice for years. Since you're on here asking I'm guessing the natural talent isn't an option (it isn't with me, either) so perhaps you should get yourself a camera already...
