"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.

Has anyone noticed how many sponsored ads are showing up on this forum that are directed to women?

I'm talking about women's fitness clubs and reading materials that are directed toward them.

What can we glean from this? Is it possible that advertisers figure that there are tons of female lurkers here?

or do you think advertisers are thinking where men are trying ot better themselves, lets manipulate them in to bettering their women too. Example...Fitness clubs.... help your chick on the way to getting a hot body. Although i am sure there must be a few more women on here.

75 % of the people on this website, and others like it, are probably women. You have to understand how women's brains work. They come to "men's sites" in order to "understand how men think".

Noooo, come on. As far as I know, women have a life and men don't. So men surf the internet, while women are playing out doors.

The ads are placed by computer programs. Discussions of "dating and relationship" topics are almost always predominately female, both in person and on the Internet. The ad programs typically cannot tell the difference between sosuave and loveshack, even though they are very different.
 

"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.

Bible Belt, I think you must be right about that. Still I would swear that there has been a sudden sharp rise in female advertising.
