"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

We have plenty of oil, but members of a certain political party will never allow us to extract it.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

According to the USA Today article, "the energy industry is mobilizing to unlock the secret of oil shale", but as of yet "no one has been able to develop oil shale on a commercially sustainable basis."
tell that to canada, which has been perfecting the process.

as far as colorado goes, this has been known for quite some time. there is TREMEMDOUS resistance to doing it because of the environmentalists. the US is in no short supply of crude at all. only about 15%-20% of the proven reserves are "allowed" to be tapped.

I don't know about any of that Colorado s.hit, but my family knows some big wig oil dudes here in Cali and he claims that there is enough oil still here in California alone to run the US for 10 years or so. He says the only reason we can't get it is cause people have built houses over it. Plus we got that s.hit in Alaska. It all spells out to me not being to worried about running out of oil anytime soon.
