"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Thanks for validating the Dunning-Kruger effect ;)

Would I seem more "smart" to you if I linked to PubMed? Or some high-impact factor peer reviewed journal that gives you the same information in long form?

It is not retarded, sir; what appears to be retarded is your reasoning ability. DKE is a validated phenomenon, but that does not mean it happens in all populations 100% of the time. It's a trend. Of course there are intelligent people who recognize incompetence. And of course poor decision making is not, in one discrete instance, an indicator of low intelligence. But repeatedly, over time? Absolutely.

I've read your posts. You have big trout in a small pond syndrome. Did it occur to you that maybe the people telling you you're so smart aren't terribly intelligent themselves? Maybe your whole intellectual self-concept is based on confirmation bias? Or a selection bias. Hmmm.....I'll let you wikipedia all that while I go make money and tell people like you what to do.
Oh I'm quit handsome as well. I added to my post to give you context, I know you need it.

Have you considered that maybe you have a good position where ever you work because you work hard, not because your smart? Are you smart?

You sir, can suck a bag of d!cks.

You dont get it man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fABK5QvaKVY
 

"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.

1) people who refuse to be accountable for what they do, say, or say they will do

2) people who interrupt mid conversation

3) people who are pathological bull$hitters and honestly believe that others aren't smart enough to figure their bs out

4) people who neg on ideas of another but don't come up with a better one themselves

5) people who feel that passing a task onto someone else is the exact same as them doing it themselves

I have a problem with people's insecurities. People were a lot easier to deal with when I had low self-esteem and assumed everyone else had it all figured out.
