"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The trucking company I work for stopped picking up loads out of California in mid-October.
We knew they were fvcked when Sony refused them freight.

One down, many more to come.
PREPARE FOR A DEPRESSION!
If you have any sort of intelligence you will go to costco or any other foodmarket and get yourself some bags of rice and other foods to store them, stock up on water,get your money out of savings accounts. We are headed for times worse than the soup lines of the great depression (and thats not just me talking its top economists)

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
When they do start, i'll be the first one in the door.
This sucks though, cause now best buy will have a monopoly and their prices are pretty damn high compared to other electronics retailers.
Will be shopping at wally world and online for my electronics from now on

I've never shopped really shopped at Cicruit City. They went out of business here last year.Levex said:When they do start, i'll be the first one in the door.

But you're right. Best Buy is a rip off. I always buy online or at Wal-mart.

Okay, show me the facts.
That's like saying Wal-Mart would have a monopoly if K-Mart went under. Nothing is going to change with Best Buy.Levex said:
This is actually no surprise. Although I much preferred shopping at Circuit than Best Buy, they never had the business to be sustainable.
That said, I am somewhat "competition" to both of them. There is a Circuit closing one block away. More market share for me!
Chances are a liquidation company will buy up stock/merchandise and the prices will be a bit higher then if CC was liquidating themselves.
I always found CC employees to not know a damn thing about what they were selling. Really annoyed me.
On a side note I just found an old friend quit school about a month ago because she got a full time job with benefits at CC. How stupid

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Negative cycle fueled by mass hysteria.Upside said:
People hear "OMG Depression!" They go in savings mode. Spend less.
Companies earn less. Cutbacks ensue and people get laid off.
News reports on the tiniest job losses and blow it out of proportion for ratings. People spend even less. Especially those laid off.
Repeat cycle until it hits equilibrium somewhere.
Circuit City has had a bad business model for some time and has been getting killed by Best Buy on the low end and online retailers like NewEgg on the high end.
The financial crisis was just the final nail in the coffin; this didn't just come out of nowhere.

Here in California, Circuit City is the second large retail change to close in the past few months. The last Mervyn's (a discount clothing store) closed in December. This type of stuff worries me.
As for Circuit City, I never cared for it that much. I always preferred Best Buy. I also worked at Best Buy a few years ago and bought some stuff with my discount.
I went to Circuit City today which was the 1st day of their liquidation sale. I was disappointed that besides their lines being very long, the sales weren't that good. I ended up leaving empty handed.

Best Buy was always aimed at average consumers and had pretty crappy item's the majority of the time. I use to like best buy but their overprice out the as$ and most kids that work there have no idea what the hell they are selling only what it says on the card it's pathetic...but then again you can say that about any store really.
Yesterday I went and down here we have 30% off everything so I am thinking about buying a receiver and a ps3 ..the tv's in cc suck ballz.

On top of not always having that good of prices, Best Buy has a horrible return policy. I can't believe Best Buy does as much business as they do and so many people buy from them when they hassle you with returns and try to charge restocking fees. Walmart, Target and just about every other retailer has any excellent return policy in comparison.
"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.
