Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My ex told me this would happen. She also said that the more and more information will get past the censors and there will also be a revolution. China is really not that strong, they straight up manipulate the markets.LiveFreeX said:Hope so, its nearly a million bucks to get an apartment in a sh1tty end of town.
They have a lot of problems now that we used to have but don't anymore. Once they do get past those problems they will then start to work on the problems the U.S. has, but by that time we will be past it.
China only owns 9% of our debt. That is the highest percentage that any single country owns, the rest is spread out where countries my own 1% or less.
Trust me China is full of sh!t. They are not as much of a threat as 1. they like to make us think 2. our media likes to make us think.
A lot of their economic progress is made up, or directly manipulated. It's like doing steroids, you get quick results, even good results, but in the end it's not good at all.

China represents a lot of demand to a lot of countries, like Australia. When China goes in the tank (which is soon will) a lot of countries will follow.

China is stockpiling gold, not the U.S.'s soon-to-be-worthless dollars. Why buy our debt when it's a bad investment? Moreover, they've been dumping our debt that they did have back on the market for a long time in attempts to off-load their bad investments and further manipulate the world market.
China is kicking our azz at economic warfare, simply put. Don't be surprised if it's the U.S. that takes the biggest hit when China "tanks". China will recover from the crash of the dollar that ensues based purely on their gold reserves (that we don't have to fall-back on) and their industry (which we don't have since we've outsourced it to China).

"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.
