"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

This message has came up the last couple of times my laptop has crashed.

It's strange because when I bought the computer in PC world, the staff said "make sure you backup the computer because we've had a lot of customers returning to the store with faults because of Windows 10." (I have windows 10)

You guys got any info on this??
 

"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.

As a general rule I always wait at least 6 months after a new operating system is released because they're always buggy as hell upon release. No point in upgrading if you don't have to. I'm still using Windows 7 on my laptop.

Windows 10 seems fishy as hell to me. Why are they so desperate for me to download their FREE upgrade?

I smell NSA....

They track a lot of the stuff you do, it repeats back to their server almost 90% of the applications you use and what you look at. If you want 'some' privacy, you need linux.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

That is exactly how I handle it, only I wait more like 1-2 years. Why is it my job to test their OS for them? That's all the first 1-2 years are IMO. Most commercial software anymore may look all fancy and do great things but under the hood it's a ticking time bomb. Managers and company execs just want the thing made as fast as possible and pushed out the door as fast as possible so they can start profiting. The developers get pressure to release stuff before they have the time to fully test it. Why all the updates, otherwise? Over and over and over more and more updates.. The management figures that that's our job as consumers to test their sh|t, then they blame the developers when something is wrong, not themselves for pushing it out too fast.. IT managers are generally sociopaths so they are never wrong about anything!. I have certain requirements with 2 of my 3 jobs where I have to use Windows 7 for certain things and I do. But for anything that I don't have to I have switched to Mac and Linux. And anytime I need software I will exhaust all open source options before buying. I may look at Windows 10 in another year if I still need Windows for anything but right now I am OK. For the folks testing Windows 10 for me, thank you!
