Epiphany at the barber shop today...

For those who don't understand, two lessons to be had from this post:

It's incredibly easy for people (e.g. girls) to pick up whether you're confident or not
If you feel unsure of yourself and your actions, others will start doubting your, and even their own actions

If you're confident, and project that confidence, people will ride along with you and your plan, and things will go smoothly. If you don't act confident, without a plan, people will opt out for a more secure option.

Just stabbing a guess here, but I'm thinking the lack of confidence disconnected the logic circuits in his brains saying "I'm willing to wait all afternoon to get a haircut", and instead just instantly turned him off without him even having to think about it. Ergo, when a guy approaches a girl in a non-confident way, she doesn't even have to think about it before being turned off. Right, OP?

These are the things you begin to notice when you start to understand the game.

This is such a great post, so many principles we learn we suddenly see in real life. When you see this sort of rule in forums, book etc they make logical sense. Then you see, understand and apply them to real life and they solidify. After this you will begin using them to your advantage.

Well, by that logic, girls are more testosterone-driven than we are, as far as the need for strong decisions and confidence are concerned..

^{or are they?}

Crazy, something so simple yet so important, GREAT observation bro, really makes me think about how I should impose myself and say what I want and be confident while doing it.

OrchidReverie · 2014-06-12T07:45:48+00:00

Am I the only one lost in how the OP came up with this conclusion? You're not wrong but this instance doesn't seem to lead to that. Please explain.

I don't mean to sound stupid but I don't really understand this post at all

zephyrprime · 2014-06-12T16:58:45+00:00

"BE SURE OF YOURSELF and BE CONFIDENT" How do you do those things if you're a person who isn't good at doing those things?

Yeah I agree, that was really stupid of you. 20 minutes is nothing, most people wait longer. I have a lot of confidence issues but if she said that I would have quickly said, "alright, sounds good."

I would have just sat right down and started talking to her while I was waiting. Whats her story and all

Crimson342 · 2014-06-12T11:48:04+00:00

While I agree with your post, I would have waited for a quality haircut, if the barber was good and you knew it. I have a barber I go to every 2 weeks or so. I show up a bit early than normal (~15 minutes) and during that time I either play pool or socialize with others. I've made a few friends that way, met a couple girls, and enjoyed my time. Later I got a great haircut.

While you have a great post about confidence, but I guess the moral of my story is I surely hope you find a good barber soon! A quality barber is a great thing to have.
