"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Well those who've read my last post know that I have several months before I leave for the Air Force. Well I need to find a job so I can buy a car and have money to spend. But I seriously cant find a daMN job around here. I really dont want to do fast food either. This is bull****.:mad:
 

"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.

not one around here
man I applied to ****in Target,Kohls,chucky cheeses,papa johns, as well as a few places. I was workin at Lowes as a truck unloader for $8.51/hr but I quit once school was over thinking I'd be leaving soon for the Air Force. I had a job in retail for a year and on the appilcations I put that I could work anytime but Target & Kohls still didnt call-they even had big Now Hiring Signs up. WTF?

I feel your pain brother. I was in the same situation a year and a half ago. I aplied to like 20 places and only got a job due to knowing someone working in that place. That made me realize how important connections are when it comes to getting jobs sometimes.

What type of job experience do you have?

If none or very little, you're going to have to start where pretty much every does, in the Fast Food or Restaraunt industry.

Hell, Construction laborers (non-union) are getting up to $15.00 per hour around here (SF Bay Area) and they mostly just are go-fers who do the heavy lifting and grunt work for the skilled tradesman.
 

"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.

Ive worked at Kmart for a year.
Sheetz for 3 months.
Lowes for about 3months.
But daMN kmart is like the same ****in thing as Target so I really don't get why they didn't even call me.
Does calling the place after you turn in your application help any??

If you're jumping from job to job every 3 months, you're going to be tough to hire.

If you're an employer, would you spend time and money training someone with that kind of track record?

So if you dont list a place you've worked at will they find it on like a background check or something?

Most likely, an employer will check with the Employment Dept. to see where you worked, how long, wages etc...

They will also check for criminal record, and some employers won't hire you if you have a bad credit history.

Then there's the drug testing...

So if I don't list all the places I've worked they'll find out anyways? Any tips that may help me out in finding a job? So how about calling a few days after I apply?
 

"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.

heres what got me a job once...
when i filled out the application i asked to speak to the manager.
i put the application in his hand and said "i can start right now, im dressed and ready."

if you put the application in a managers hand, you have a chance to talk to them personally and show them you are ready to work. if you turn it in to whomever is behind the counter, it might take days to get looked at.

if you are dressed in whatever that place wears and they are that short handed they might use you, or at least run your background check that day.

be honest, i was working at lowes and liked it and i joined the military. i left thinking i was leaving for bootcamp on a particular date, i didnt want to leave them shorthanded , however my bootcamp date was set back. if i would have know this, i would have stayed at lowes. i dont like to change jobs when i have a good one. i am suppose to leave on x day and if you put me to work in the mean time, i promise to give you a written two week notice before i leave so that you wont be short handed.



my cousin worked at chucke cheese. he dressed as the mouse and came out and made the kids happy. tell them you would love to dress up and act silly. sure the suit is hot but you take it off in between sets and the pizza rocks.
a job is a job!

dude, It's just like with women.....a numbers game

I applied to over 25 jobs when the summer started. Getting a job is a job in itself, it requires persistance. Right now I got 2 part time jobs and when I told them how many places I applied to their jaws dropped. Make an appointment to fill out 5 applications a day. After about a week you should get at least 1 job calling you back.
