"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.

Seems like a lot of people around me are doing drugs (mostly weed). I'm just wondering what motivates them to do it? Why do they do it? Please share your opinions ;).

I honestly believe most people do it because they have nothing better to do. Honestly, people are just bored out of their mind. They just hang out all day cause they didn't discover their passion or something they enjoy doing. Man I manage a few sites and I'm very good with the computer... I don't have time do to drugs and I wouldn't want to anyways.

Of course, there's also social pressure (it's funny how that works! I can't help myself from laughing at this).

Ultimately, there's addiction which resulted from one of those two reasons.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I tried a lot of stuff once or twice to see what they were like, including the big H :eek: (which was awesome btw, I can easily see how people get addicted to that stuff)
Didn't get addicted to anything and got a bunch of cool stories out of it (mostly from hallucinogens like acid and mushrooms).

So they be my reasons.

I think this sums it up quite well... at least in my case. I've done a wide variety of drugs including weed, MDMA, various prescription meds such as amphetamines, benzodiazepines, anabolics, salvia etc...

A lot of drugs such as amphetamines I use only during "extreme" circumstances, such as when you gotta pull a 12 or 16 hour shift and can't get to sleep the night before for whatever reason. With drugs like benzos, I'll only use VERY selectively to put myself to sleep. With anabolics I like how they make me feel and the effects they have on my body. I make money off of my build, and anabolics help me to stay in shape. I do them off and on, and currently have been off for almost a year. I don't need them, but like being "on". There are virtually no side effects that I experience because I do low doses.

As for weed and MDMA these are largely recreational drugs. I used to be quite chronic, but now will smoke weed once in a while. Sometimes I'll smoke before working out because it really helps me to concentrate on muscle contraction and focus on the lift.

Good MDMA is a fun drug! I've only done it a few times, but there's nothing like being on a good hit of E at an afterhours club where there's kickazz music. Again I might do this once a year if that...I don't really know how to get clean MDMA anymore, so I stay away as much as possible.
 

"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.

Boredom is a cause, but another cause is depression. I'll honestly say that i started doing drugs because i had some issues to deal with that i really couldn't handle, or i thought i couldn't handle them. But nowadays, i just do it to have fun. I've done weed, shrooms and vicodin. I don't think i'll do anything else. Maybe salvia. But i don't know.
