"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.

E-lie's 5 recession proof jobs

"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.

We haven't felt any of the sting from recession in the entertainment industry. 40 plus million tourist from all over the globe means our money pours in regardless of what happens with the US economy. Projects city center and Echelon (the largest independantly funded construction projects in american history) are still on pace to be done by 2010, and since i'm in good company with the execs from my company, it's fair to say my job and wealthy security is more air tight then a vaccum chamber.

I work for MGM Mirage smart guy. If I wanted to transfer to the Macau property I could. Still, You don't know what you're talking about. We don't build multi billion dollar properties because we're going to lose money. Our corp sector keeps us in the black year round.

Re:

No job is 'recession' proof. However, a person CAN be.

Someone may say...'technology isn't recession proof.'

Not true. While gf's father has been laid off, as a top-ranking Director/VP at the IT level, he grabs a new job quickly, and makes enough money that he has stockpiled funds to hold him over. He would be laid off or have a division whacked, and grab a new job making more, simply because "there's fewer jobs at the top."

If anything, GOOD accountants/lawyers/doctors are recession proof. Will they see a decline in income/clients, as GOOD as they might be? Sure. Even if you're making big money, when times fall hard, a good portion of anyone's client base CAN be subject to those people who become penny pinchers and do irrational things. Those who prepare and plan, won't suffer a pull back, though.

Listen to Jim Rohn on this or ready "Four Hour Work Week." Even in 4 hour work week, the author points out how empy it is at the top and how there's little jockeying for positions when compared to middle class and lower class levels.

People who see to find a cushy job get lulled into a false sense of security and don't grow.
 

"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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
