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.

Thats not being smart, Thats actually being retarded of actually thinking of soemthing like that...ElStud said:Someone's smart so they're a geek, nice logic there.
Because Halo3 isn't out yet.Slick101 said:...Why would you stress it to that level LOL...
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.
And you do? Last I checked you were a keyboard jockie and you really have no proof of success.Slick101 said:Thats not being smart, Thats actually being retarded of actually thinking of soemthing like that...

Do you know of anyone that would think like that?
I guarantee you he doesnt have success with woman
HAHAHAHAHA....ElStud said:And you do? Last I checked you were a keyboard jockie and you really have no proof of success.

Field Reports yea...ElStud said:Hey, no need to get defensive buddy. You clearly care way too much about what one person thinks. I'm just saying you act all big without really have any proof of success. So what if your post number is lower? Some of my FIRST posts where field reports.
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.
You're just trying to show up that midget rocket scientist from Moscow....comic_relief said:bump... I have a math test tomorrow and this got me in the mood to go study.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Damnit this came into my head halfway through the test and now I failed it!!!comic_relief said:bump... I have a math test tomorrow and this got me in the mood to go study.

ksoileau said:Your first mistake occurred when you wrote
"MAX(D,N) = lnD + lnN - (Dt + Nt - T)
then, i take the partial derivative with respect to D, and N.
dMAX/dD = 1/D - t = 0 ---> t = 1/D
dMAX/dN = 1/N - t = 0 ---> t = 1/N "
You should have set up the Lagrange multiplier equation
MAX(D,N) = lnD + lnN + lambda*(Dt + Nt - T)
then
dMAX/dD =1/D+lambda*t
dMAX/dN =1/N+lambda*t
Then setting
dMAX/dD=0 yields 1/D+lambda*t=0
and setting
dMAX/dN=0 yields 1/N+lambda*t=0
thus 1/D=-lambda*t=1/N
hence
D=N
Rofl this is funny because I learned how to do all this last semester in microeconomic theory.... yeah he could have used Lagrange but I think that would have made it even harder for everyone to understand :crazy:ARrocket said:Call me a nerd, but I just went through this entire thread waiting for SOMEONE to point out that he failed to use a damn Lagrange multiplier. Hello, constrained maximization...but anyway, I love this post.
Ha yeah, true story. Feels good knowing lot's and lot's of math! Also, loved the link. That one's going up on Facebook...ArcBound said:Rofl this is funny because I learned how to do all this last semester in microeconomic theory.... yeah he could have used Lagrange but I think that would have made it even harder for everyone to understand :crazy:
