"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.

"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 came across this article which is quite a interesting read IMO, it shows us insight into what people regret most about their lives. I believe we can learn a thing or two from this article, and possibly keep a track of what life is really about when we get lost in the rat race.

You opened my eyes, Konada. I'm resigning my job today and am going to live off interest income, and sarge fulltime.

This garbage was written by some pvssy who has no will to excel in life. It's all about the balance. Put your work in, put your play in, put your rest in. Everything is great in moderation. Where do you think the 8 hour work day came from? 1/3 of the 24 hour day. 8 hours rest, 8 hours play.

Live to the fullest and don't let haters hold you back. Happiness isn't achieved through materialism, no doubt. These type articles aim to make rationalizations for unhappy fvcks with no will power, no drive to be who they want to be.

Get to know yourself, know what makes you happy, and do it responsibly. Just don't be a sheep without a brain and do what friends/family/society tells you. If it makes you happy and conforms to what others tell you, then great. If it doesn't, do it your way in a responsible way and fuk what others think.
 

"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.

Very very very well said.

Happiness is all about balance IMO also. Of course, try to do something you enjoy for work and excel at it to the best of your ability. Try to learn how to rest as well as you can and find what you love doing for your play time and do it!

fulfilling life. Decide wtf you want to do, fcking do it. Grass may be greener on the other side. Doesn't matter, do what you set out to do. It will be the hardest thing you've ever done.


All that stuff aside, I'm morally fcked.
Got a gf, but i slept with another girl. I was raised a Christian and I believe God exists. That aside, sex feels great. So many conflicting emotions.

When you stop asking how and start living, that's when life becomes fulfilling. No amount of happy will bring you happiness, because after a while of being happy it becomes boring - unless you on drugs, but even then, your brain becomes accustomed to drugs and it becomes boring. Happiness is the experience of the full spectrum of life, the bad, and the good, and everything in between.

Agree but you must be careful because people will get into a lifestyle where they have +1 hour compulsory workbreak, +1.5 hours travelling to/from work, +0.5 hours grooming +1hours cooking/eating, then there's only 4 hours left and it's already dark. Then it's late evening and you feel tired and drained, so you watch TV and spank to youporn.

It's easy to fall into this and WHAM you waste your youth away.
 

"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.
