Although I liked Survivorman better, I still liked his show.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
Wow. And i thought the delusion stopped with women and money.Falcon said:Yea he probably is still a bad-ass in real life, but I was disappointed after seeing that clip. I was a fan when his show first started. ButI think if there is one thing that human beings can't stand the most, it is the feeling that you've been deceived or manipulated. If the show is more about the ratings than authenticity, you can count me out from watching it. Now you have to question everything he does. Like did he really eat raw zebra meat? If he didn't, then not only is he deceiving us, but he is giving horrible advice which may get someone killed. I recalled a thread on this very forum where people were contemplating to do what he did (Yikes!). There's a whole website dedicated to exposing him apparently: http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/bearwiki/Main_Page
Uh, who treats Bear like a god? It doesn't surprise me at all.Falcon said:So no one found this surprising? It surprised me. Lately, the majority of my TV watching is with the Discovery and History channel. I always thought these two channels were at least a little more credible than the others.
I could've sworn people were treating Bear like a god not long ago.
