Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Any bitcoin owners here?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I thought about buying some a while back but I believe the main use for them is an online drug trade called Silk Road. Silk Road was recently busted by the feds so I would image the value of bitcoin is going to drastically fall.

The price of bitcoin did drop about 25% because of the silk roads shut down, only to go right back up days later and make historical highs. If you ask me this last rise in price is attributed to the fact that bitcoin didnt totally collapse after the shut down.

I own some from mining using school computers.

I'd stay far away; it's super volatile and has zero intrinsic worth.

So do dollars, but hey we keep printing them out!

Also Germany approved BitCoin as legal tender. I think we will see more countries follow suit in the coming years.
 

"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.

They've got ATMs in Canada when you can withdraw canadian dollars against your bitcoins.

They very well may be in a bubble, as more and more people are hearing about them, and buying them just because they think they'll go up in price (which pretty much defines a bubble).

While I would have LOVED to make 40 TIMES my money over the past year, I'm fearful that the government will decide to pull the rug out at any time.

For those in the know, does the increase in price justify all the equipment needed to mine them? I know six months or so ago, it was pretty close.

Could you spend $5K on mining machines and make a profit within, say, six months? Or is the rise in price also reflect the diminishing mining returns?

The government can't do sh1t about bitcoin, they have zero control over them.

There's virtually no point in trying to mine them at this point, the amount of money you spend will be vast compared to what you get out.

Looks like we're late for the party. At 300 and change, how high can they be reasonably expected to go.

Since I own a computer business, I wonder if I could cobble together a mining rig that would at least pull some kind of profit. I need to keep 3 computers running 24/7 in my office, and a lot of that time is idle time. It seems to be worth investigating.
 

"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.

Dollar isn't as volatile, and is more liquid than BitCoins.

Again guys, stay far away. This is a bubble; the concept can be applied to an infinite amount of digital currencies. You'd be better off learning real business skills.

Well I sold all my bitcoins just now. With a nice profit of $280 i cant complain, even tho its still going higher. I just go tired of the roller coaster. haha

Good you made a profit.

One thing they say about bubbles is you feel like an idiot if you don't get it, then you feel like an idiot when you do get in.

Just remember the sage words of Malcom Forbes:

"Never buy at the bottom, and ALWAYS sell too soon."

The way I buy stock, if everyone is on the band wagon, I stay away from it, I have made a lot of money with that motto.

Learning about the bitcoin world from few days, but the impression I got is to be too late to get some benefit out of it, in terms on mining especially.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
