"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.

Did I miss the memo saying that it's alright for half-naked guys to dance like retarded girls or is tectonik just some screwed up sociological phenomenon?

See here

And here

I honestly couldn't get through them both without laughing. The first time I ever saw someone doing tectonik in real life, I laughed my ass off until I fell off of the rock I was sitting on. It lasted a good 5 minutes.

I mean, my primal urges to punch these people in the face are barely suppressed by my laughter. I know that I've said that you should do whatever you want to without caring about what others think of you, but holy sh*t lol, some things just shouldn't be done.
 

"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.

It takes work to be good at any type of dance, even the wierd fad ones like tek, wutang, or whatever other dances some niche group of the 21st century concocts.

If that's his scene, and he goes to electro parties and dances like that, he'll pull more tail than you. What's the point of bashing him?

I can't really pay that out considering i do the Melbourne shuffle but it does look pretty gay :).

BTW, i strongly recommend not punching one of them in the face unless you want to get beaten up by a gay. It takes good strength, agility and a fit person to be good at techno dancing so in all likelihood they can probably beat up your fat self.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I looked at the video and got no reaction.
He's doing his thing and he seems happy doing it. So what is wrong?

the question is not if he's good, b/c obviously it takes some skill to be able to do that crap.

The real questions are

1) Can he make a living doing that

2) Who is going to employ him ?

3) Who is going to pay to see that crap.


Hence why he's posting youtube videos of it.

Nope, dancing and especially raving is about self expression and fun. There are youtube videos of everything out there, i see no reason they have to be linked to a career.

Consider this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2tJbkPZ9W8. In Korea:

1) Yes, I've heard 60 grand a year
2) Battles, exhibitions, dance shows, commercials
3) Hot korean girls.

Who says it's not the same in France?

Stop hatin' because you can't dance. Any dancer would appreciate the dedication and skill and pay their respects. The haters are probably fistpumpers at the clubs.

Korea's got some of the best B-Boy crews in the world though. it's turned into something of a national pride thing over there

a few of my friends are professional dancers here in LA. between teaching and performing, they make enough to live comfortably and travel the world. it's cutthroat as hell though. other dancers always trying to bite your sht and get you to teach them moves. hardly any authenticity - just a bunch of competitive artists tryign to build their resumes

and my last post still holds. krumping is gayer than all of that

Actually dude, I can dance. I mostly do freestyle boogaloo and hip hop, but I still think tectonik is retarded.
