I've been doing physical therapy for a very bad case of tennis elbow. Anyways, I see this on a dry erase board while doing cupping and dry needling in therapy this week:

"Characterize people based on their actions and you will rarely be fooled by their words".


Think about that.

It's very true, the more atteactive a woman is the mkre red flags we let slide.

We end up wondering where things went wrong whwn it was right in front of us all along

That’s a very good one. Words don’t mean much to me compared to actions, and in most cases I’m only looking at actions. That’s where the truth is.

That's a great phrase. Throughout my life, this has led to some unexpected disappointments but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's also helped to expose the dead wood in my life and reduce stress.

I wasn't aware of the tennis elbow. Good luck on a speedy recovery.

Just bust nuts man. I busted two today. You gotta get to the point where you busting at least 9 nuts a day to be a real man. I'm just under a quarter of the way there. Start the process today.

Sometimes I like applying this to myself.

Assign less importance to the useless clutter in my head, more on what I do.

Or the more desperate we are. Lets face it, a lot of guys or all guys have been in situation where we really liked a girl but we didn't have many other options we liked as much.. I definitely let my fair share of red flags slide.. and it cost me in som eways.

Exactly, scarcity mentality. We realy like her because we feel we cant get something better even though we can

Or she just has so much of our attention in the moment because she's the one who's giving us what we need, sexually, passionately, etc

Ie: its so hard to look past someone when we're super focused on them

It's especially true with women, whose words tend to be lies 85% of the time

As men, our words are actions, the second they are anything other than actions, you are no longer competitive in the hierarchy of men... This means some damn tough choices sometimes, but it also means your reputation alone will fight and win you battles you'd have to participate in otherwise.

My favorite quote, that pertains to dating comes from the movie “The Dish”.

“Failure is never quite so frightening as regret.”

I’ve heard that sentiment in other forms but that quote says it so nicely, and it is oh so true.

Nice. Sort of similar to

"We must suffer one of two things: the pain of regret or the pain of self-discipline. The difference being that self-discipline weighs ounces where regret weighs tons."

For a more relevant context to dating, specifically approaching & escalating with women, you could replace the word self-discipline with rejection.

If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. If you're late, you're forgotten- My college baseball coach

PS- I'm normally late. Especially for dates
