"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm on the look out for a cheap laptop, probably around the 500 - 900 USD range (the cheaper, the better). I'm nainly going to use it for p0rn, schoolwork and downloading music. Anyone got any good links to sites that offer cheap laptops?
 

"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.

Dell Inspirion 1520 or Vostro 1500 (whichever is cheaper) - see if you can find any coupons to save up. They are cheap, but at least they use some magnesium for the laptop's chasis instead of pure plastic crap like most cheap laptops. Avoid Acer, Asus and Everex. Asus have good specs inside but their casing is cheap.

I have a secondhand Toshiba Portege which has gotten me most of the way through undergrad and law school. 12" screen and long, long battery life, really comfy keyboard. Highly recommend. Magnesium case, made in Japan, I've spilled water all through the keys and internals, dropped it on tiles from 4 feet, still going strong (just take the battery out when you're drying it under the hand dryers). Still looks mint! -mintxx
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Best Buy's usually got some weekly cheap laptops. The ones closer to $400-500 will probably be Celerons but you can get a decent dual-core in the $700-800 range. Now that I think about it you could probably get a cheap one anywhere in about 3 weeks with all the day-after-Thanksgiving sales events most stores have.

Thanks for the links guys. Unfortunatly I can't use Walmart since they don't ship outside the US. God ****ing damn it. I wish I lived in the US. **** 400 USD for a laptop? With the dollar going down the tube now, I would make a ****ing killing by buying laptops at Walmart and selling them over here.

I'm looking into ebay and other auction sites.

That's not cheap. You can get a solid laptop for that price. For like $800, I recently bought a Dell out of their small business division with a Core2 Duo processor and wireless support built in. But you could go to Best Buy and get a solid model for that price.

A CHEAP laptop would be like $300-$400 off of Ebay...there are plenty of companies that sell refurbs that big corporations have excessed. Just make sure it's a reputable manufacturer.

Careful with the porn...with a laptop it can get addictive. :D
