"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Too uptight?

Hello, everyone. I'm terribly sorry for disappearing like that. I'm sure no one cares, but I did disappear nonetheless.

Either way, during my absence, I fell into a deep, AFC-induced depression and was forced to go see a shrink and a therapist. The shrink told me what I already knew; about my OCD, social avoidance disorder, etc. My therapist, amongst the Dr. Phil-esque dreck, left me a note saying "In my personal opinion, your social problems stem from the fact that you're too uptight. <smiley face>" (I'm not sure if he was being facetious or something.)

My question to you, dear SoSuave, is how does one stop being "uptight?" What precisely does my therapist mean by that? (I am cognizant of its dictionary definition, but am unsure of how it is applied to social labels.)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I think most problems are confidence related, including mine. You must have had moments with really good friends or at least family that you can have a really great time with, and you're very confident and you don't worry about anything.

Well that's a deep Q. If you'r too uptight then it's hard to know what exactly to do, no offense. Sorta like a cath 22.

When people are making fun of something or doing something less than polite do you balk at them? Seriosly, though qualified or not, dont take his words as the gospel.

Utight = Tense, in the psychological way, youre tense psychologically, youre worrying, when it comes to interacting youre worrying so much that you act overly polite or according to the rules, so much that it feels unnatural, that is uptightness, PM me if you wanna hear more about it :p
 

"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.
