"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.

i read the part of DJ bible about how to impower voice.

but i think it wasn't enough..
esp the "sympathetic frequency" part was not clear and understandable.

can anyone give me some more details on this issue plz.
 

"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.

bump.

I read Senor Fingers' post as well.. but it seems that all the practice I do with his voice exercises don't do that much for me.

1. I still can't find my diapraghm all the time and speak in a manner that uses it.

2. I'm not sure what's the sympathetic frequency. I feel a vibration at several different pitches, but I have no idea which one is the right 'frequency'.

3. Even when I lower and try to project my voice, I have difficulty being heard, especially in loud clubs etc. I have to lean in and shout in a higher pitched voice which essentially fuks up the body language interaction.

I have a tape called "The Sound of your Voice" which is really good for improving your voice in many ways. I'm from the deep south and used to have a bad southern accent. I managed to eliminate my accent(I'm often mistaken for being from California now) and my ability to inflect and speak much better and more powerfully. It hasn't translated into any success stories but I feel better about the way I come acroos nonetheless. I can speak with greater vocal strength and I no longer refer to a group of people as "y'all."

Two thumbs down to losing your accent. Your accent is one of the few things that immediately distinguish you from others. It's part of your identity and part of your natural voice.

I had a pretty strong southern accent, too. And then I went and lost it. Lived in London (actually picked up a
bit of a British accent). Lived in California. And then I got it back with some effort in Cali and in the south. Moved back to California, felt like I was speaking with my true voice, could use my accent to bring about jokes, and to say phrases that wouldn't sound right without a southern accent. Not to mention the fact that the ladies love a nice southern accent.
