"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.

Ok posters.

Which Sosuave thread(s) help change the way you think or help steer your life into the right direction.

I'm looking for something inspiring. I have lost sight of my direction, I have not been in touch with my ambition, so I need something to help kick me back on the right path.

Right now, I am asking for your help.

PLEASE, INSPIRE ME!!!
 

"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.

Honestly, nothing here has really given me that so much as reaffirmed it.

Wisdom exists within you whether you acknowledge it or not - uncovering it is the key to actuating it and turning inspiration into action.

I'm personally a thinker, a philosopher, so it helps me to stop thinking and philosophizing so damn much and just go out and do things, and tweak as I go.

So, a lot of the advice I rail against, like telling new guys formulaic approaches and such like that, are exactly the types of things I think are necessary to kick people out of their comfort zones and getting them used to the idea that "I can't do it now, but if I work at it, I can."

So yeah, I'll argue a lot about methods, but I'll always be the first to admit that doing something is better than doing nothing.

Dunno if this is what you were looking for.

In a world where I embrace and enjoy life
Personally I enjoy reading this entry : http://dapook.blogspot.com/2007/12/adventurer-and-vortex.html

Specifically:

"Life never runs smooth. It is a bumpy ride with set-backs as well as uphill struggles and downhill surges. If a person complained that a ride was not "fair" he would be considered mad. The purpose of the ride is the fun of taking different roads, seeing new scenery,
and meeting the new people that come in
your life. This is the Adventurer which every Human begins as (what we label the 'innocence' of a child) ......."


It reminds me that I am human and as a result I will experience lulls, times where I'm unmotivated, or simply the basic ups and
downs of life. Through these experiences I
always learn about myself and/or I find
something interesting and new to explore.
And in my opinion that makes life worth
living.

To put it simply:

Set goals=======>Work for them======>enjoy the madness that ensues.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
