"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

click me, to learn how to become a paid illustrator without qualifications or experience

First things first. I am no advertising anything for me. I get absolutely nothing from this, this isn't a scam.
And chances are if you go through with the requirements, you'll probably get nothing from it.

I'm sure all the regulars of the anything else board are somewhat familiar with "Maddox", the angry, woman/child hating, lumberjack/pirate loving writer.

Well he has a deal with a publishing company, and is looking for illustrators. The workload will be big, but experience/qualifications are not necessary. Talent and familiaratity with his writing are necessary.

To cut an already long story short. He's running a competition and the best couple of illustrators will be selected, and paid, to illustrate his book.

If interested, follow the link at the top.

EDIT: this is is VERY important, i just realised that the submission deadline is the 21st of July. So get drawing!

and good luck.
 

"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.

I haven't read Maddox in about a year, but if he's anything like he is when I stopped reading him, then he's not funny anymore. He went way downhill. He was amazingly funny up until ~ the end of 2003 and then he didn't update as frequently and when he would update none of them would be at all funny anymore. It seemed like he ran out of material or something.

He did go downhill, but his newest article about words was brilliant.
