"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.

After watching deadliest Warrior reruns on netflix, I have taken an interest in collecting ancient weaponry and swords. I would prefer ones that are usable so I can train with them

I'm looking in particular for this weapon. The Kpinga Throwing knife of the Azande tribe in Africa

Anyone know where I can buy this? None of the sites I look on seems to sell them
 

"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.

I wouldn't say I collect knives, however I have a collection of practical knives that I use for various tasks.

- A set of expensive kitchen knives from CUTCO.
- A couple bushcraft knives, made by Khukuri House (Nepal) and Ka-bar.
- A fishers fillet knife by CUTCO.
- And a couple folders made by Spyderco, generally have one on me whenever I'm out of the house.
- Also have a couple handmade African hunters knives, 1960s vintage.

Not a collector, but a modest collection :)
