"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.

"Fire In The Belly: On Being A Man" is a pretty damn good book. It has a few wussy feminist moments which I can just imagine Pook ripping to shreds, but the bulk of it is gold. It's basically GOOD FEMINISM, the dispensing of the definitions of man that hold us back.

The quote which I wanna share is something which the author himself was quoting. Though I don't remember who from, can't be bothered to check. Anyways,

"The first question you should ask is, 'where am I going?'. The second is, 'Who will go with me?' If you ever get these questions in the wrong order you are in trouble".

Very wise sh'it.

The answer to "where am I going?" is not "woman". The ladies want to share in your answer to number 1. In fact, the same goes for making friends.


THere are some really excellent books about masculinity out there, something which could make you feel a bit of a chump for having forked out 5000$ for the latest David DeAngelo CD-set.

The other book I'd recommend is "The way of the superior man" by david deida. It's an amazing book. The guy gets it in a totally spiritual manner.


What would you recommend, book wise?
 

"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.

How to Win Friends, Influence People, and Succeed in a Changing World; Dale Carnegie

That quote is dead-on. Infact, many times when i'm out with women I will speak to them about my life and its direction as being a mission that I am on. And I will explain that the people in my life are part of that mission.
