"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 think my buddy that was with me is more bothered by this. He went out of town (he's an out of town college student and had planned to leave before this incident but to come back on Thursday), and still hasn't came back. He also goes to this bar much more often than I do. He normally goes about every Sunday or Monday and I haven't been going out those nights. I don't go out on Sundays and Mondays much anymore and now I'd feel like I should go just to back my buddy up. I don't know what my buddies going to do.

As far as this beligerant guy, I don't think he'll start stuff again but you never know. And this time he might get back up or bring a weapon. All I know is if I do go there and this guy tries to start something, I'm probably going to slugging him come what may.
 

"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.

I just smile and nod man.. until that cat makes the wrong move there's no reason to even sweat it... I have been in many "confrontations" at bars and have never once had to hit anyone even during my stint as a bouncer.
