"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.

I was reading the Bible, and fall into the Nice Guy category,

I have the decisiveness,
I think I am really getting the confidence,

But what really is backbone, can someone define it?


Thanks,

Foamy
 

"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.

Standing up for yourself and your beliefs, rather than acting based on what others tell you to do.

Not taking sh!t from people who want to put you down or take advantage (manipulation, leeching) of you.

Activelly pursuing what you desire no matter what.

Whats the difference then between decisiveness then? Is not decisiveness knowing what you want, being taken advantage one of them? Or is decisiveness just taking action, where backbone is knowing when someone is taking advantage?

Why do you need to know this? Just to philosophize the nature of the construct insdie your mind? To what end?
 

"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.

Having a backbone means that even through the toughest of situations you keep your character.

Having a backbone means you are a mammalian male and you walk on 2 legs, you are not a slug, you are not a sloth, you are a tree standing tall and firm and you can weather any change in the weather, and over time, you will get beaten up, but no one can ever bring you down except some damn loggers :p

Decisiveness in and of itself does not denote strength, it merely shows that you don't ponder over crap too much. However, someone can be decisive and still change his mind once some bytch tells him she doesn't like blahblah or blah about him or his lunch plans.
