"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

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.
