The obstacles: Thinking too much

I overheard two guys talking semi-loud and animatedly one night and once in a while eyeing the way of two pretty girls sitting at the bar to see if there was a reaction over their wise discussion. As it happened, the girls could figure out their intentions from miles away and found them transparent or, more appropiately, quite boring. Every once in a while, as in a trance of awe, one of the guys, the more aggressive one, would say to the next: "God, she's so fine." Again, flattery from a distance, can only flatter if a whole set of seductive skills are put forward into play, and to establish yourself as the dominant type takes more than words. In other words, flattery is fine except there are more things to the equation: not caring much for the response, being completely comfortable in your own skin, have a grace and physical eloquence, poised and treacherous.
Women are better approached if one spikes their curiosity through humor or something that makes an emotional impact. For that, you must be ready for whatever she might throw at you. She's always pushing your bottons, inflicting the pain, seeing how you respond will determine if you are the one for her. It is not their mind you are after; it is their proverbial heart.
Intelligence, undoubtedly, plays a fundamental role in our evolution as species. It is what has made this so-called modern world of ours possible. But let's not kid ourselves, deep down the very core of it, we're still pretty animalistic. Think of an orgasm: it has very little, if anything, to do with a logical process. We don't contemplate it reasonably when we are experiencing the sexual climax: we simply let go.
Now, you may memorize all of this and in the end find out that you are coming in short. You will forget this line in time. But think of this in a better way: you already know how to handle all of this that I will try, through the intellect, to show you.
Think of the things you do know well how to do. You don’t think about doing them. Most of the time, you simply do them. That is how well you know how to do stuff. The thinking process is of no consequence. If you are a car driver, you may experience what I'm talking about. You don't think about driving; you just drive.
Now, how exactly does this apply to the new set of skills you are learning here? Well, for one, it tells you that you will need to give things time and there better be some practice into it, before it comes off naturally, and you can do it with a surgical precision. Yes, you can grasp concepts intellectually and make a mental picture of the idea. But in the end, you just have to turn off that big brain of yours. It is of little use in emotional matters.
