"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Step 1 - Stand against a wall.

Step 2 - Make sure that your heels, butt, shoulders, elbows, and the back of your head are all touching the wall.

Step 3 - Take 3 steps forward while holding this posture.

Step 4 - Hold this posture for 3 seconds.

Step 5 - Walk back to the wall.

Do this exercise at least 15 times a day.


This is the Exercise to improve your posture making you look Dominant, Confident, and Alpha.
 

"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.

It's actually an excercise used by therapists to improve posture in people with a hunch and many other posture problems. Allthough, as always, it has it's variations. Make sure to try and keep the good posture and not just do the "excercise".
 

"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.

Doesn't matter. As long as you do at least 15 each day.

Honestly, if you are starting then why not finishing all in one go? It's only 15.

Good tip!

Another one posted some time ago was imagine that you have an imaginary rope tied around your waste and it is pulling at your center while you're walking - forcing you to assume a more confident posture.

Gots to love these Jedi mind tricks.
 

"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.

I think "at ease" is more in order when it comes to being a DJ;)

I've got a better posture exercise. It's called lifting weights. Squats, deadlifts, cleans, bench presses will all strengthen muscles that will naturally put your body in a better postion. Therefore your posture is automatically better and you don't have to work on posing like Zoolander. But, cool tip none the less.
 

"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.

Wrong.


I see tons of guys who lift, have have muscles rippling out of their bodies.

However, they still don't look dominant. They look incongruent because those muscles are huge but they still have bad posture.

Because they have bad posture (even though they already lift), they look unconfidant.


Therefore, lifting weights does not guarentee you better posture.

This may be a litttle difficult to do. But with the following tip, I am sure that you will be able to pull it off.

TIP: Slightly flex your butt cheeks and cave your abs in.

This is sad because Wing Chun is kind of a joke as a fighting art, but its great for posture & health. Anyway, the stance for WC is very similar to some other descriptions, here.

-Stand with feet shoulder width apart.
-Flex your abs.
-Pretend you're sitting on a stool (flex your butt, may involve bending the knees slightly)

Now walk around like that. Your legs & core are like loaded guns, along with a great center of gravity.

Start working on your back and shoulders, stop sitting at the comp as much, and before you know it, all eyez on you.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
