"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.

"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.

I voted to remain. To many people voted based on false premises!

I don't do betting so I wouldn't have betted in the bookmakers.

If I was more liquid at present I would have bought a helluva lot of Euros to earn a few £££ today
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

It was a typical British reaction.... they were never really part of the EuroZone anyway..... You talk about those who invented the modern concept of Commonwealth and Multiculturalism (cultural ghettos)... Never seen more racist than a ''white british'': You can come here, make commerce, but you'll never mix with us or be one of us but thanks for the money.

So obviously, they joined the EuroZone without taking the Euro, keep their money etc.....

Also, you see the generation divide... the ''leave'' was a majority in the 45+ age group

Bonus: I am making money on the market fall and pounds (Canadian dollars look good now to take Euro shares)

Long term issue: Scotland and Ireland will push to seced from Great Britain and join the Euro, English elites will be happy in their castle and writing new laws, Germany/France duo will do everything to alienate Great Britain, Russia will start selling gaz cheaper.

Who will benefit from the change? Tourists, Right-Wing politicians, Russia

Anybody back in THIS THREAD make any money?

Made a £3k loss on a straight naked bet but shorted the FTSE 250 (via an ETF), as it was obvious that the market had already priced in a Remain and I didn't see significant upside going long and leaving myself doubly exposed.

At one point on Thursday a LEAVE victory was going at 8/1 - that's how unlikely the market thought it was. Somebody would have made a killing on those odds.

Unrealised profit isn't quite yet covering the loss on the bet but I think the FTSE 250 has further to fall given its made up of more British/European centric companies.

Money aside, I for one am pretty shocked. It's the ignorant working class masses that have won this one, despite being the group who will be the most worse off in the medium and probably long term. On the facts there was never any doubt that the UK was better off in the EU. No point complaining. Most of us with skills and mobility will be looking elsewhere. What's Australia like these days?

Notice the US never has national referendums. We have them at the state level, usually for stupid sh!t. Legalizing weed has been the most substantial state-level policy changes to come out of referendums.

Imagine a US referendum to repeal NAFTA. It would carry 90% of the vote....which is why it's never going to happen.

Yep. Large consensus that Cameron gambled with with the country's future just to win the general election, since he promised the referendum as part of his manifesto. Madness.
 

"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.

The Brits made the right choice. A European superstate has always been a utopian idea. The last time Europe was united under one government was under the Roman Empire and we all know how that ended. I expect that Britain is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of nations leaving the EU. I would be surprised if the union was still around in 2030.

The EU has three main problems:

1.An ever- growing, corrupt, unelected and largely unaccountable bureaucracy.

2. Economic disparity between rich and poor countries, and economic policies that effectively compel the former to subsidize the latter (i.e. Greece).

3. Open borders Schengen Agreement that holds the entire bloc hostage to insane immigration policies of one or two of its member states (i.e. Germany and Sweden). Germany almost singlehandedly created the current migrant crisis by stating that they would accept all migrants able to reach their borders.

The EU should have never evolved past being a free trade economic bloc that it started out as.

Oh well all the Pro-Brexit leaders are gone and left the ship. The UK is now lead by a woman... like all the time the **** hits the fan

Man its a hilarious situation from outside and for once France is not to blame

However, its the poor and the agricultural regions who voted the Brexit... funny Ireland and Scotland are seeking to stay in the Euro although they seek independance from the UK entirely

Personnally I am not surprised it happened. United-Kingdom had rejected a common currency, so they were always on the fence with the ''Euro-zone''.

Too bad but Euro-zone style and citystates are the future. Countries mean nothing now.

The future will probably be a North American Federation - Euro Zone - Asia Block - African Union kind of stuff
 

"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.
