It never did break that resistance at 34. Now it might be a while 
"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.
Facebook a legalized ponzi scheme

"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.

"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.

I think it's going to be back once Facebook figures out how to do mobile marketing. I mostly use FB from my iPhone and to this day there are still no ads either from Safari or from the FB app. Between their mobile ad issues and their bad press from losing GM, it's easy to see why the stock dropped.
its also severely overpriced, and given that a ton more shares are planning on entering the market, this will dilute the actual value even more. A good price for FB is still < 10, which I bet it will go to once people realize that revenue from advertising won't bring much in. Now if only they can think of another technique to bring in some money...

Tomorrow, you should be able to make 5% buying FB, but lock in your profits, don't hold! If my price I'm looking for gets hit, I may buy, although I said I'd Never buy FB. I'm a trader, though, not an investor. I don't care how sh!t the company really is, I just wanna scalp and get the fvck out.
"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.
Greed works in mysterious ways. Despite a known business plan that was shaky at best, despite an arrogant punk of a CEO who publicly said he didn't care about his share price, the sheeple just had to have a piece of Facebook. No matter what. GOTTA have a piece of that action. People were climbing over each other to get in line for it. Like the saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted. And bankers ain't no fools.

I would have possibly bought FB today if it had moved up a percent or 2 first, but it dropped quite nicely. Not touchin it, still has aways to fall. $7 is about fair bottom price. Right now it's bouncing like a ball, where the bounces get smaller and smaller as gravity has it's way.

...and another new low, $18.11 as I type this.
When you see a stock open down on bad news, and then continue to go down during the course of the day like FB did all day, that's extra bad. It means the bad news has not been fully priced into the stock yet and the falling isn't over. Buying into bad news is not an especially horrible trading strategy, but with a dog like FB, the bad news just never stops coming.

Personally, I would never invest in Facebook.
And by that I mean from today onwards. Sure, if I had a time machine and could go back to before it was massive then of course I'd jump onboard it.
But Facebook today as a company trading on the stockmarket doesn't make rational sense.
It approximately has 1 billion users. Look at its current profit figure for now and the maximum it could possibly grow if they gained 100% market share and the entire world was on facebook is only 6-7 times greater than what it is now.
Compare this to the amount of times it has already grown. Say for example, if you invested when it had 1000 members and it has multipled thousands of times since then. Your ROI would be much greater then as it is now priced (overpriced on IPO) for a customer base of 1 Billion.
Furthermore, how long will facebook last?
In ten years will facebook still be around? Maybe, we don't really know. Will Coca Cola be around in 10 years? 99% likely
compared to other investments Facebook has a high chance of not surviving long term.
Look at the decline of myspace, msn or any other website.
It's not a legalized ponzi scheme, it's just not a smart investment

This is a Lie..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjhK21FR9Us
Zuckerberg has SOLD $1 BILLION worth of FB shares 12 weeks ago i.e. NOT "holding on" like he "said" he was..you can look it up at the SEC website.
So many fvckin lies in the media guys or "journalists" who don't do a lick of research.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Facebook's current valuation is now over $200bn.
Take note of all the "experts" in this thread who were writing it off as a bad investment.

"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.
