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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
