"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.

Man today i got fired, or "laid off". This sucks. I came in the morning, and just found out. 2 days ago, I made a mistake. My first mistake there in 2+ summers of being there. It wasn't major but it was enough for me to be dismissed. I don't even get paid, its volunteer work.

I know i'll reflect upon this sometime and i'm glad its not that big when compared to a grand scale.

I'm a bit sad i must admit, and also angry. Arjdsghdsjk. Didn't feel good (this never happened to me before).

I played it off cool, but man internally i'm pissed off. Now it's too late in the summer to get a job or anything, but i'll try and see what happens anyways.

Anyone wanna share some stories with a fellow brother?
 

"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.

That sucks I guess, but really it gives you more time to enjoy the finer parts of life, so its not all bad. Happens to people all the time, just get a new job. I've never been fired but came really close. I used the store computer to play games, unfortuatly I didnt erase the history, and we had a meeting, but I played it off and was clear. We only have 1 computer and it has alot of private stuff, so that was my closest.

I don't even get paid, its volunteer work.

Then they are the ones losing out. It's not very smart to fire the free labor.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

rofl, you got fired from a volunteer job :crackup:


Just chill for the rest of the summer. Then on future resumes, list the period that you worked there as "Summer 2007" and don't specify that it ended early.

"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.

This is actually good advice. You might be the only person to have ever gotten fired from a volunteer job. You should probably just quit life now.

i accidentally hit a kid and he cried, told his parents, who informed the manager, who then who in turn fired me without explanation!!

hmm i don't like doing weed or that ****. i like to stay athletic. Will i get addicted to that stuff? I still want to be able to post shots over you 6 foot ballers out there.

So no one ever got fired for anything? Nice job guys, give yourself on a pat on the back for being diligent workers/laborers. I congradulate you all, i will catch up.

lol, that sounds to me like a big mistake. You hit a kid! That's grounds for termination under any circumstance in any job. Especially this one, which sounds like a day care.

Why do you bother volunteering?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
