"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Sup guys. Over the last couple of months i've been getting into movie collectibles etc. A company named Sideshow Collectibles are probably one of the better manufacturers out there, namely because they can work with actual special effect crews that worked on the movies. I've been chasing a couple of Terminator pieces, one of which I managed to get ahold of finally:

But i'm still on the hunt for these 2 pieces which will be impossible to find:

And

Anyone else into this stuff?
 

"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.

Old school Pokemon cards... the original ones... I loved them... when I think about them I get good nostalgic feelings. I still remember how I got into it and my first Pokemon card.

Even though before I got into Pokemon I was completely "rebellious" about it and thought it was a stupid fad, a teammate on my soccer team game me a Magmar card... then I was obsessed.

Now, Pokemon has too many types and the names are so random, stupid or just way too Japanese sounding to be appealing in the US.

Go Qwertyuiop, go!

This is how it used to look like: Old school

This is how it looks like now: Shit

The SUPER rare card that everyone wanted to steal from the rich kid: Charizard

I used to collect as much alcohol as possible, various exotic drinks, fine vodkas, gins, liquors, etc.

Those days are over now..

So i've got ahold of 3 so far, Terminator Endoskull is still coming from overseas (Ebay).

Predator: http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1001569xf2.jpg

Arnie: http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=t800lifesizedbust2040mh1.jpg

Endoskull: http://img357.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img347020mediumvt5.jpg

I'm currently bidding on the Endoskeleton Arm, which hopefully I will win and this madness can end: http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=t800armbigreplica3tz2.jpg

Also got Ironman pre-ordered which should be coming out this month :D :http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img9540nm8bo5.jpg

And that will probably do me for a few years.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
I used to collect old wines... they taste pretty good. I have a nice Cheval Blanc from Bordeux... 1983. My friends have gotten me more into vodka lately though.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
