"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.

**** the books, get some experience. Talk to people who've done it, make contacts. Invest in yourself instead of paper markets.
 

"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.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
You do not need to be a broker to be good at the market. Long before I had connections, a lot of my university expenses I paid with my equity from short term investment and a couple blue-chip dividends. All common stock too, I never touched bonds or A's.

There are a million virtual stock games that you can play online to learn and test theories you might have. There is an audio book I listened to along time ago called "Getting Started in Stocks." (Wiley Audio) It is a three hour lecture introducing the market to you.

If you do your research it is not hard to see who has a very good chance of long-term growth. Short-term is far more risky but if you stick to it you will quickly develop a sense of what to do -- just keep reading and practicing.

Before you move on to real stocks however you will want a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. This will help you to see where the bulls and bears are and will help you immensely with investing in general.
