"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hey guys!

It's been awhile since I have been on this forum, but I see that while there are some differences, very few things really change.

The reason I'm writing this is because a great personal trainer, meditation coach and I are working out a new podcast to help men move forward in life: spiritually, mentally, physically, relationally, and financially. We won't be rehashing material found here and other places, because there are many great places to handle that. However, it will come up at least a little bit.

Since this will be totally free and done as a service to men, I wanted to ask:

What problems are you having?

What do you really wish podcasts like this would solve?

Your help would be really appreciated. Hopefully we can be of value.

Thanks!
 

"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 think you're not getting responses because your questions are way too broad.

The problems of men in Western civilization are pretty well defined by now, and they are universal in scope. The problems we in this forum are facing are the same that all men in Western civilization are facing. The only difference is that we here at SS have a deeper understanding of male/female dynamics than the general population.

Agreed. The first thing that I thought of when he mentioned problems were the ants that are trying to
invade my house...

Amdro ant bait works really well. Get the kind that kills any kind of ant, and the one that you spread outside, around the perimeter of your house. They eat that instead of getting into the foundation, they bring it back to the nest, and everyone of of them dies. Yay!

"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.

lol, my dad used toothpaste to plug the holes :)

Terro liquid bait works well if they are coming out of the tiny holes in your molding, etc. They'll take that back to the nests as well. Amdro a few times a year along your perimeter will keep them from even coming into the foundation.
