"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.

Anyone else bought one of these badboys?

Streams my radio@AOL straight into my surround system, plays Mp3's, video's, and pics from my laptop hard drive, all wirelessly.

Best $200 I've spent in awhile!
 

"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.

The streaming AOL radio works GREAT. I have it plugged directly into my router via cat5 cable so it streams flawlessly.

The only problem is the wireless connection between my laptop and the media player. When I try to play Mp3's it's VERY choppy. Any ideas to remedy this?

Software firewall on your laptop? AOL security suite? If so, try disabling the firewall. Also find out if there is a firmware upgrade from DLINK which may kick out any wireless bugs. I assume you have an 802.11g+ or pre-n router? If so check with the maufacturer if there is a firmware upgrade for your router as well.

I have a 802.11g network, the firmware and the server software were just updated on the media player. So I need to see about a frimware upgrade for the router?

You really think the AOL security and the firewall could be causing this? I don't mind dumping whatever AOL is running but I don't really want to disable my firewall.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Oh yea, I also just realized that another Dlink model has a USB connector on the front that I could use to hook up an external hard drive (I have a 100gig laying around doing nothing). Maybe I should return this one and spend another $50....
