"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A friend of mine really hates anarchy. He believes society should be ordered and regulated by a computer.

Anyway, we were at the bar and there were these goth dorks in the corner. They're dressed up in black and depressed and stuff. One of them starts talking about how cool anarchy is, how they could do anything they wanted, and etc.

So my (getting drunk) friend gets pissed off, goes up to them, and beats up the kid (the other goths sorta ran off). His last comment was, "You want anarchy? Here's your anarchy, a$$hole!"

Man, I'm never forgetting that night. I'll have to write it down or something.
 

"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.

Maybe it taught those Goth kids the difference between playing dress-up and the real world.

If so, it was a valuable lesson.

"They're dressed up in black and depressed and stuff."

LOL at that line.

Thats a very crazy tendency....today he beats kids, tomorrow he will sober up and recall there was KKK....or people with other religious view he doesn't like... or people with other skin color he doesn like...

If I were you I would smack your friend - at least it would distract him from doing very stupid things.

Thing about anarchy

If there was anarchy, there would be a sharp increase in crime, followed by a sharp drop to near zero after the crooks started getting a taste of good 'ol wild west style vigilante justice.

Think about it...

Yeah... what kind of lesson he is going to deliver next? He is going to teach people with other views how to see the world "his way" with firsts? Oh I forgot, getting drunk before is a requirement....

Nobody is talking about if anarchy is good...it is not the point. The point is what to do to people who talk about it.
Today he beats goth kids, tomorrow he might as well shoot people with other religion just cua he heard "it is bad for somehting".

Goth is not a healthy lifestyle - especially if you're good at it.

It robs you of your humanity and turns you into an emotionless lump who doesn't care about anything ... not even himself.

The world and everything in it loses all relevance to you and life becomes a meaningless chore.

I lobotomized myself with Goth in HS - I purged myself of all desire and attachment and convinced myself that Life was nothing more than pointless suffering - and that's a big part of why I'm here.

Your friend is lucky he didn't catch a bottle over the head.

Re:

How amusing it is to see the one thing he loathes so much as you stated, is the one thing that enabled him to seemingly prove his point.


I guess it is true, that that which we hate, fear, or loathe, we become, as its what we focus on that we become.

If he heard the same conversation, turned round and it was a bunch of tattoo weilding Bikers with biceps to match, he'd of sat back down and finsihed his shandy.

Sound like a bully to me with self esteem issues.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Insecure or not, it was hella funny. I'm only depressed because I haven't got a video film of the event.

Those kids didn't even know what the actual political definition of anarchy are, so I doubt it has anything to do with ideology. Their definition of anarchy, judging by the stuff they said, is "being free from the stupid government" and "shooting jocks and stupid people".

Don't room fights take place in the USA too? It happens here quite a bit. You guys make it sound like some sort of killing spree, it was two guys having it on. Yeah I know its a bit wrong and stuff, but I still find it funny :D

I think your friend confused the actual meaning of anarchy with the political term. Most goths are anarchists because they don't believe in consumerism or capitalist exploitation of the working class. the actual political anarchy means the (peaceful) destruction of the state, since the state is the foremost user and beneficiary of violence. The idea is that the world would be run by workers for workers, not by faceless politicians and clones wearing suits, selling their souls to greedy multinationals.

I think for his next trick, he should go to a boxing match and try to beat the everlasting piss out of the boxers while screaming, "YOU... AREN'T... SUPPOSED... TO... HIT... PEOPLE... MOTHER... F*CKER!"

"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.
