"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I didn't major in art but more than once have I been complimented on my talent in paintings and drawings. They're not the modernistic abstract type but the classic "fine art" realism type.

I about to put some up on eBay and to convince my local gallery but I was wondering if there's a better/faster way to gain recognition. What is the art scene looking for these days anyway?

Of course I'm not expecting to becomee Michael Angelo overnight, but I certainly hope to get some nice bucks out of it. Peace.
 

"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.

I know people who have done the same and I think you will be very disappointed with the sales from Ebay. Even the best work barely sells and those that do tend to be related to an in thing like Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Star wars etc.

I think galleries are your best bet because gallery staff obviously have an eye for good art and spread the word. I've also been told that it is eseential that an artist can promote his work and needs to be able to speak the lingo, act and dress the part and have the character. Dumb, but I think there's truth to that.

Apparently it is extremely hard to break out as an artist and the amount of effort put into it rarely has a sufficient pay off.

Good luck! I like the sound of your work and hope you make it!

my career is in art (will be very soon). and the art scene is the same as it ever will be once your good with the foundational things, form, shape, value, color theory, anatomy, compositon you will be alright. everything is done digitally now. you can make a living as a fine artist doing galleries but you MUST HAVE STRONG ACEDEMIC SKILLS. to gain recognition is to be the best, if you have a strong portfolio you will get people to give you backing and you should be able to make good money freelancing. its not that tough to make it successfully as an artist, you've just got to be THE BEST. an online portfolio or website, and biz cards are a must, market yourself.
