"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.

Do you think Generation Z is so conservative because earlier generations of femynists had withheld their genes from the gene pool?

I was looking at this, and it got me interested:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...TE-tattoos-Generation-Z-conservative-WW2.html

my opinion: I have an evolutionary biology theory. The femynists didn't need and otherwise hated men, and thus didn't procreate; perhaps they got married, but a lot of them divorced, etc. The normal women in their cohort did need and otherwise liked men, and thus did; they got married, but stayed married. Ergo, the remaining genes in the gene pool were biased towards being more deferential to men, with there obviously being a strong correlation between being deferential to men and having an instinctual conservative personality. It's a lot like the Siberian foxes (no, not the hot Russian women that live there, ;)) that were the product of many generations of keeping the foxes that showed the most deference to humans, such that eventually these foxes developed personalities like a domesticated dog (even their ears drooped!).
 

"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.

All explained here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory

Fourth Turning looks at how generational cycles in Western society have essentially be running in cycles of four. Understanding the interplay between each generations "archetypes" explains quite a bit.

Also, the guys who wrote that book back in the nineties are the guys who coined the term, "millennial."

Not an easy read, as they slog through a lot of history, but it's pretty eye opening. They also predicted (in the book written in the 90's) the current economic catastrophe we're currently in the middle of.

This happens every time there is a "fourth turning," or another 80 year cycles ends (each cycle is made up of 4, 20 year generational cycles) and another 80 year cycle begins.

Every time there is a serious "event" that kinds of resets everything.

NOW
Great Depression - WWII
Civil War
Revolutionary War
etc.

I think gen Z is conservative because they are disgusted by their elder millennials and don’t want to be anything like them. A quote from my gen Z 15-year-old daughter in reference to transgenders “You want to know what sex you are? Pull down your fvcking pants and look!” Her boyfriend is 17. They have both said openly in front of me that if the other ever smokes weed they are dumped. They can’t stand it. I think gen z has a hell of a lot more hope than the millennials. My opinion.
