"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.

About about what time did most of you break out of being a AFC? What really motivated you to do so?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I broke out of all AFCdoms a short while ago. Before that, I was slowing moving towards that point, but then I had a snapping point.

It has been a gradual process. I still have faint tendencies to AFCness when I start thinking philosophical, but ithink that it is in an ideal world where certain aspects of AFCs are o.k, but in the real practical world, AFCs are worthless.

I never had a chance to go try and pick up girls as an AFC before I learned what not to do.... I would have just went up to them and said how beautiful they are if I hadn't though

I guess I never really had a chance to pick up any habits that I could go back to...
