It never did break that resistance at 34. Now it might be a while 
"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.
Facebook a legalized ponzi scheme
- Thread starter Burroughs
- Start date
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
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.

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.
