Any tips on getting a fake id? I'm 19, in California in the Bay Area and I would love a fake id for when school starts up again. Any tips?
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.

bravo and well said!RedPill said:Bible Belt is speaking the truth. Financial institutions do not fvck around, they don't give a crap if you were some young punk in college several years ago. Companies and schools as a whole are getting more and more serious about background checks. With criminal and credit checks becoming easier and cheaper to conduct, don't let a retarded decision in your youth come back to bite you in the ass. I've seen it too many times.
Some common mistakes that college kids underestimate the severity of as it relates to their future:
- busted for possession of drugs
- drunk driving
- misdemeanor assault charges stemming from party/bar fights
- bankruptcy/huge credit card debts
- fake IDs
- warrant for failure to appear in court
- urinating in public (in some places this will even get you listed as a sex offender)
This isn't to say don't party and have a good time while you're away at school, but at the same time don't be a dumbass and you won't find yourself in any of these situations.
Actually, using one with a picture of yourself is a forged government document. Yes, it's as bad as it sounds.T Money said:Well if the picture is YOU, i.e. if it's an actual fake, then it's a misdamenor.
If the picture is someone else who you look like, i.e. a brother etc then it's a felony posing as another person.
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.
