"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

most of the Chinese in Chinatown speak Cantonese

the majority of the Chinese restaurants are also Cantonese speaking

even though Mandarin is the most common language in China, I mostly run into people that speak Cantonese

most people in chinatown, San Francisco, speak Cantonese, I saw some Mandarin speaking people trying to order a meal in chinatown and they had to write it down on paper for the waitress to understand.

probably because the majority of immigrants came through Hong Kong? since it is more difficult for mainlanders to immigrate?

most of the Chinese in Singapore and the Philippines and Vietnam also speak Cantonese.
 

"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 am tri-lingual. English, Cantonese, and Vietnamese. Currently I am taking Mandarin at my university. It's a little easier for me than most because I already speak Cantonese, the languages are very familiar. But I have to say that Mandarin is one of the hardest languages to learn. I say you need 3 years of classes and should live in China for a while before you master the language. I gotta say though that the reward is worth it. Familiarize yourself with the language through their music and movies.

Cantonese is a no-go. THe Chinese are a stereotypical bunch, and the cantonese minority is looked down upon by the mandarin majority. Similarly, Mandarin is the sole dialect for commercial purposes.


Writing - unnecessary. In terms of published material, the UK and US are far superior. THe only reason to learn to read/write is to catch up on old classics.

Overall, I still think the English language will prevail. It is esteemed, popular, and universal. Even though China is bound to be the boomtown of the future, the best will still lie in west.

"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.
