"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.

The top 5 regrets of the dying

"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.

That is all golden information. Thanks for the post. It is basically how I try to live my life.

Go for your dreams.
Make time for enjoyment, work only to live, not for what you think you 'want'.
Be straight up, call a spade a spade.
Maintain relationships with good friends, let those who aren't fall by the wayside.
The only thing you can control is your own outlook.

Me too. I could never be a salaried workaholic. I can be an entrepreneurial workaholic, but only because it's fun.

What that advice says about keeping your relationships with friends, the same goes for family. When they die, all you will be left with is the memories of the time you spent together.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
That's the only one I can identify with.

In our society, we're taught to be selfless. Weird thing is you can't give to anyone, if you don't have yourself covered first. :rock:

I imagine that there are very few people who lie on their deathbed thinking:

"Damn! I sure wish I could have had the chance to spend at least just one more day at the office!"

From my point of view, life is ALL about RELATIONSHIPS, troops. A few off the top of my head are:
  • Your relationship with your hopes, dreams, and ambitions.
  • Your relationship with your friends, family, and females.
  • Your relationship with your God (for those who believe).
  • And your relationship with YOURSELF.
