"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.

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around 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!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

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?
