"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.

Can you buy weed in Colorado now if you live in a different state?

"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.

The National Review, which has been called "the bible of American conservatism," and also endorsed almost all of the politicians who created the war on drugs in the first place, has issued a statement about Colorado.

And it is a surprising one:

Legalization, the National Review says, is “a sign that Americans still recognize some limitations” on the reach of government.

With all mind altering substances, you have to ask: Why am I using this mind altering substance? Why do I like my mind being altering? I think some people genuinely enjoy the stuff, and I think some people use it to escape the miserable life they are in.
Agreed. If you can partake responsibly, nothing wrong with it. I enjoy it, much more so when I was single and without a family. Spices up an otherwise boring weeknight every now and again.

As I've gotten older, I don't have the free time for it honestly.

I know weed isn't nowhere near as strong a drug as cocaine or heroin or that other stuff but I don't use it just because I have seen what it has done to friends. I have no doubt the vast majority of people will have no ill effects, but I've had some friends that basically became stoners that smoke weed in their room 24/7. Too many to be a coincidence. I think it is like alcohol in a way. Not everyone reacts the same way, yet you can't know how you react to it, until you've been using it semi-regularly.

I was a pothead from age 17-22, everyday smoker. It did nothing for me but made me lazy, watch more porn, and eat more. I liked to pretend it gave me great ideas but they where idiotic ideas when looked at with a sober mind.

If I was still smoking pot, I know I would be a broke,fat, jobless slob.
