She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Dude, you'll have a blast. Roller coasters are kick-ass.Originally posted by Trumpetman
Ok guys my moment of deprivation is soon to be over. Im going ot six flags tomorrow and I was wondering what tips you guys might have for riding rollercoasters. Never really been on a rollercoaster so I don't know what to expect.
thanks

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.
Agreed. I remember watching a documentary about roller coasters a few years ago and it said that your 9X more likely to do die in a car wreck then you are to die on a roller coaster. So just remember the drive to the roller coaster is actually more dangerous then the roller coaster itself.Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova

Start with the biggest, baddest coaster there, and sit in the front. Make it a test of your manhood. If you can face that, then you'll know you can face anything else in the whole park, and you'll have a great time.
I'm terrified of heights and falling -- that's why I love roller coasters. It's a chance to play chicken with fear and make fear blink first.
And that's probably closer to 9,000 times more likely to die in a car wreck then a roller coaster...Originally posted by GlutusMaximus86
