"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.

I don't like the idea of a North American currency. Maybe just USA and Canada. I don't think it would be a good idea to link our currency to Mexico's. According to Google, One U.S. dollar = 10.8358798 Mexican pesos.
if you don't like that you probably won't like the north american super highway which they have been trying to cover up for years.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Ah, I see. Read my post above the one you quoted. How many dollars a particular currency is worth does not matter. A Japanese Yen is extremely cheap, 102.49052 yen to a US dollar today, ie 1/10 of a Peso, but their economy is the second biggest in the world, way ahead of Mexico.

If, (big IF) we were to get a North American currency, it would likely be valued at roughly the same as an American dollar and Mexican's would simply earn fewer 'dollars' than Americans and Canadians. The currency wouldn't suddenly have to collapse because Peso's aren't worth much.

It affects nearly every other country aswell, the same thing is happening in Britain right now. We're coming out of the boom, this sort of thing happens every 50 years or so.

hopefully this northamerican union **** doesnt happen. Our country has completely kept us in the dark on this subject and everyone is against it. Canada will be sovereign and free!
 

"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.

I admit, I'd be freaking out too if it weren't so easy to invest in foreign mutual funds like I have been doing for years (and I have a significant percentage of my overall portfolio in foreign stocks and bonds).

Investing in just one country is risky; including only the U.S. My opinion, of course. Warren B. disagrees with that. Granted, if I could pick stocks (companies) like Warren B., I wouldn't need foreign investments.

I think our problem fundamentally is that we continuously run a trade deficit overall and with with several countries. Combine that with most all of our industry having been outsourced. Whether you're on a gold standard or fiat money, how are you suppose to balance things when the dollar drops when we really don't have that much to export to drive the dollar back up?
