"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.

POOK: Married is not success, most people get divorced.

So we hook up with different chicks, test them, blah blah blah. Usually we together for about 6 months and then get married, if that's the cause.


NATURE: Love chemistry lasts 6 months, after adrenaline kicks in for raising the baby, 4 years after love dies, chemically.


Love is a process, much like smoking weed, you take a puff, chemicals flood your brain, and you experience your trip. We know how long this trip lasts, thus what's the point in waiting and testing a chick?
 

"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.

There was a good thread on here that compared the perfect marriage to being in a sinking ship with your partner, tied together with a rope. You've got to work as a team. You've got to have camaraderie. Sure, for the first six months your brain will be flooded with all the tingly, butterfly giving love hormones we all know and love, but what happens after? Can you stick together? Will you work well as a team? Do you get along?

A good marriage works because the husband and a wife are a team. They may fight and be bitter towards each other at times, but at the end of the day, they got each others backs no matter what. For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, you know how that goes. That's why you wait before getting married. To make sure you can put up with each other for a long time, targeting your entire lives. You usually get to know if you're ready in a couple of years' time and then you tie the knot. I hope I answered your question.

Q: What's the point in waiting before getting married?

A: Cooling off period after the honeymoon phase of the relationship. People act normally instead of being on their best behaviour. You see them for what they are and they see you. If you're a good match you'll be together despite your flaws and baggage. If you're not compatible you break it off without having to go through divorce, theft of assets (in divorce) and lawyer fees.


For god's sake, you're 30 years old. You should be telling ME this.

this is my opinion on marriage as well. slightly cynical but seems to be the truth.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
