"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Does this sound familiar to anybody?

There are some programs used for testing 3D performance of computers.

Basically it runs a 3D movie for some time... Or does different scenes which test different rendering capabilities of the computer.

One program I've seen was a bunch of Neos (from matrix) shooting each other under different conditions.

Do you have name/link to them?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

The a bunch of Neos shooting each other was from 3DMark 2001.
Just to let everyone know how cool I am, my score on 3DMark 2005 is about 4000 or so.

The score has a lot to do with your video card - most processors/boards/chipsets nowadays aren't usually the bottleneck.

The video card is usually the 'weakest link' in graphics processing, so you will see a substantially higher score by swapping in a new one.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
