"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.

I got a little blue a couple of days ago thinking about VDay. Even though I regard it as a "hallmark holiday" the fact that so many people get energized about it does alter the atmosphere a bit.

I got blue thinking about the ex, wishing my situation was more tidy, satisfying.

Now I'm glad I went through the blueness. A good friend talked me through a lot of it and I felt more centered the next day.

In a way I got a taste of the downside of the matrix. I shudder to think all the people who dread VDay because for them it's another opportunity to rub salt in whatever relationship wounds they have. I and many of you are fortunate to have the resources we have, not least this one.

Obviously the value we get is not about VDay, which ultimately is a sentimental pimple on the butt of reality, but in other infinitely more substantial ways.

So I take this opportunity, hinging on what ultimately is an empty calorie event, to appreciate all of you and what you contribute to me in so many real ways.

Point is, we are all unique here, all of us in varying situations and hopefully evolving on our paths, but what we have is each other, for better or worse.
Who knows how long it will last but I for one cannot entirely put into words the my appreciation for the value I've gotten.

Thanks and HAPPY VALENTINE'S, guys!! :flowers:
 

"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.

I like this side of Dr. P!! It's nice. I really hope we don't lose the other side though. =D

Yeah it's valentine's day and LOST night with me and the ex.


She asked me before I cut her off: "So this means you won't be coming over thursday for lost?"?

Just gave her a flat out "No." :(

Damn, I'll miss that. LOST was our show.

Oh well! I think you guys here are most important to me in my life right now. I don't know where else I could get so much support and life wisdom. Thanks to all of you!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! :rockon: :flowers:
 

"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.

Thank you for your wonderful thoughts. Yes, we are all unique here and I like to think that the majority are good people at varying points on their road to becoming Mature Men. Have a great day. Cheers!

I'm sure this day depresses far more people than it brings joy to.

I just had a female friend txt me saying she's depressed and she knows it's stupid to be depressed about it and that makes her feel bad so she's in a "shame spiral." Haha. Then I said "weel u b mi ballentine" and she asked if i'd buy her dinner. I said "crazy talk."

I really don't care at all having no gf or anything today. I don't like holidays in general. They're such a pain in the ass. I like days like st. patrick's day since they're so simple. You just go and have a few beers, spread some cheer, and there's no pressure to buy people sh1t or make long drives to see family or anything.

Sorry, my dance card is full.:cool:


I was working last night and I texted my plate to tell her where I was "in case she was in the neighborhood", left the number.

She buzzed in without calling and got a foot massage.:)

We never talked about Valentine's, skipped the subject, but I could feel it in the air, creating tension. Did not want to "do" Valentine w/her- she's not my gf, too "heavy".

I told her I was going for a hike Sunday and she was invited.
No, she says, what if we get excited and then I want to spend the night?:D
No good, Monday follows- so the plan became Saturday, she's making dinner, and I have a feeling we're going to get excited.:) :)

Now I don't take credit for masterminding this scenario, but I did play along on an instinctive level- I'm convinced that the energy around Valentine's created tension that was somewhat released with the date planning.

The rest of the tension will be released in a couple of days.:) :) :)
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

My no. 3 plate, who flaked on me a week ago, texted me that she tried to mail me "something sexy" but had a problem with the mailman...

I'm trying to stay firm in NEXTING her, but she is superhot.

Here was my response:


Sexy packages don't need a mailman.
They deliver themselves to the male man.
