"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I thought Age of Empires III was Age of Mythology? Age of Empires, Age of Kings (plus expansions), Age of Mythlogy, this.

Eh, whatever...Haven't touched the series in a long time, but back in like 8th grade or so I had two other buddies who I played the original Age of Empires online with...We'd get into a 4 person game and form an alliance and rape the other player. Ahh, good times :)

Yeah, nowadays you need something powerful enough to monitor a water-cooling plant to play solitare.

Probably want something like a 3 Ghz processor or better, 256+ RAM (minimum), 64+ MB Video card (64 is probably minimum too), plus around 2 GB or more free space just to install the game itself. Then, you'll probably need to MSconfig your system so it's around 96% free or better so it'll run smoothly, even with all the big hardware installed.

Technooollllogy!

Yeah, you'll need a NASA comp to play this without any glitches. The computer i got right now lags when i get above 500 units in AOE2,cant even imagine how badly this new game will run(though i'll probly miss minimum reqs by a mile anyway).
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

No, for HL2 and all the new games you're gonna want 1GB ram...probably a 256 video card too. I'd suggest an AMD 64 processor also. 512 and 128 are the minimums, but trust me, you'll want more. They're meant to be played with awesome graphics like in those pics. :D

Ehh, give me the old, early-90's IBM "Box of Sh!t" computers and Lunar Lander any day! Include "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego" and I'm set! :D
 

"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.
