"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Hey all... I'm the editor of my school's newspaper and well, I've had a sort of writer's block for the last few days. It seems I'm burnt out with writing.

I don't know how many of you guys write on a regular basis, but what do you do to break your blocks? What do you do when you're out of ideas?

Thanks all.
 

"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.

Maybe you should take a couple days off. When I run out of ideas I just take a walk or something and usually when I'm out I see something unusal and write about that. Since you're with your school maybe try watching the news more or hook up with friends and see if they have any interesting ideas.

Just start writing. ANYTHING. Even if it is absolute garbage, oftentimes when I do that I think of something better.

My AIM name is gflash4001 and MSN is [email protected] if you'd like to chat with a fellow writer.
