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.
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.
In the sciences, Ph. D's are only good for college teaching and heavy research type jobs. In most all other cases, it's overkill and not a degree I'd recommend.Da Realist said:May as well get the phd because you'd have to get one for biology to even get a good job unless you're working to be a park ranger or something. Plus, think about it: you really want to go to school for a couple more years to get just a bachelor degree when you could be a doctor in the same amount of time?
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I never said my options were great, dumbass. I said i have a lot of options and a variety to choose from.CoolBlue said:Aren't you going into sales with your great options from your psychology degree?

Glad to see you care about how im doing, thanks sweetie.
Wow, i STILL dont understand why youre so pissed.Desert Fox said:The losers are always bitter.
I remember in that thread you were arguing with me about your awesome options. I will repeat my wisdom here again: a psychology degree is nothing.
A 2.2 GPA psych degree is less than nothing.
Listen up here are your options.
1. Go to school again. Don't **** around this time and really work. Your second BS (is this even possible?) will not negate your 2.2 GPA. After all, even if you get a 4.0 the second time, it has taken you 2 tries when others accomplished it in 1. But the second BS will show you have matured and stopped being such an idiot in life. In this aspect it is good.
2. Pursue your other options. While getting a good education is certainly the safest and most assured way of beign successful in life, there are other methods that require more risk and may not be so secure in their rewards.
If you pursue these other outlets there is some hope.
As for 1, if you have the funding and time and are truly serious, go do it. If you are not serious, do not waste your parents' money and go pursue another option through the many doors your psych degree has opened for you.
One more thing, why is everyone talking about a PhD for this guy? With a 2.2 you will not get in anywhere. I assume you did no noteworthy extracurriculars in your spare time since you were too busy partying your nights away. Wasting away your time and life. Save your application money and go for a second chance at a real education.
So what happened to those wide variety of options?oakraiderz2 said:I never said my options were great, dumbass. I said i have a lot of options and a variety to choose from.

Your tone here is much more hostile and rude than your private message to me. It seems that you have something to show to these anonymous fvcks on the other side of the monitor.oakraiderz2 said:Wow, i STILL dont understand why youre so pissed.
Haha youre such a retard. I never said i had a bunch of awesome choices, i said i have a variety of options. Psychology is human behavior, which is a part of every job. But for some reason, you guys dont think that is the case. My parents dont pay for anything, so keep your dumbass comments coming. How about the economy smart guy? 22% of graduates were unemployed last year, this year its 50%. Again, you act like you know everything. Its funny that you make fun of me for hanging out and drinking and what not, what a fag. Have you graduated? No, im pretty sure my degree is worth more than you. Hahahah, im such an idiot for making a decision 5 years ago, youre right. Hi, my name is desert fox and i need help with my acne and get a girl to let me touch her areola. Puh puh puh lease give me some great pickup advice.
And i actually have a job at prudential as a financial advisor...so yea, looks like my degree is just f*ckin peachy...hahaha ya little sh*t hahaha.
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.
Youre right, i am being a dooshbag. Just remember, aside from the fact that you know i majored in psych and just graduated, you dont know anything about me...just some advice. Toodles honeybear.Desert Fox said:Your tone here is much more hostile and rude than your private message to me. It seems that you have something to show to these anonymous fvcks on the other side of the monitor.
In any case, I said what I had to. It's your life, I really don't care beyond what I already wrote and wanted to say. You could disappear from the world, go through college and fail, or succeed, and I wouldn't care. Don't take things so personally and you will get far. Instead you choose to fight a worthless battle with me on the internet. Go study and stop wasting time fool.
Colorado State. Im probably not gonna go back to school since i have enough student loans as it is. Ive been job searching for a while. I started getting ideas of what i might like probably two years ago and i started applying in feb.Upside said:Just curious, what school did you go to and plan on going to for this 2nd degree?
Also, aren't you supposed to start the job search during senior year before you graduate? There should be a career office that would have helped you with your problem before of getting a job.
