"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.

Jeez, this is discrimination... Look, I hate those earbuds that go all the way into your ear, like these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-ex...lack/4783004.p?id=1219105374549&skuId=4783004

I just want CLASSIC earbuds, which go into your earshell but not all the way into your earhole, like these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/jvc-gum...hite/1883139.p?id=1219066385025&skuId=1883139

Now, I just have one other wish, they should have a remote control so I can skip songs, fast forward, volume control etc. I want to use them on my ipod mini, that's why. But hey, somehow these things are really hard to find...

There are lots of those earbuds that go all the way into your earhole, which have remote control. But none of the CLASSIC earbuds have remote control! I bought some a few years ago from Sony but they seem unavailable nowadays... Do you guys know of any available???
 

"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.

I like the ones that came with my iPhone. Smooth, without irritating rubber and they stay in-place pretty well.

Yeah, I might try and see if I can buy those separately. But I'd rather get some from another brand coz all the standard Apple earbuds I've had, didn't last long. Plus their sound quality isn't that great.

I just think it's ridiculous how, in the last decade or so, the market has become so focused on those ear buds that go all the way into your earhole. I hate that feeling, like your ears pop when you take off in an airplane? Fvck those things, I want the classic earbuds...WITH remote!

I personally enjoy Skull Candie's, not those rip off kinds, because of the high sound quality, outside noise reduction, and bass. It only has a mic and pause/play button but if you jailbreak/root your phone you can install a kit that allows you to long hold the volume up/down key to skip songs- very useful in my opinion.
 

"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.
