"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

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)

"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.
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.
"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.

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

"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.
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.
“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.
