"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.

For all photographers :)

"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.

After using this site for almost a year, this is the first post that has actually made me register to respond.
Don't buy that stuff...
Go to flickr.com and search around the groups. I used a bunch of sites that paid royalties every time someone downloaded them. You can definitely get money this way, but you have to have photos that are NEEDED and meet the site's qualifications. They judge some of yours when you first sign up, and if they don't pass, you don't get to post your photos and make money.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Do a search through some of my earlier posts regarding photography and you should find a wealth of information on sites to visit.

As for this thread, it's a scam. What they're trying to "sell" is an opening into a stock photography market. Most (if not all) of the reputable stock photography websites... backtrack... stock photography is pictures of generic things such as houses, carrots, smiling couples, etc. A photographer I've done some work for in the past has made a small fortune simply off of one stock photo he took in his studio of a small shopping cart loaded with groceries. Apparently the European grocery market found it and started using it to an extreme degree. Then again, he has a $46k camera and a full studio setup, but the end result is that in order to make a lot of money as a stock photographer, you have to have the right equipment and invest more time into it than most people have free. After all, what's so different about the stock photos you're taking than the stock photos taken by Joe Blow in New York?

Sure, photography is fun. I still think I'm lucky making ~$50/hr taking pictures of all sorts of things, from events to portraits, especially as I'm still in school for another 9 months and would rather take pictures than find a 'real' job. I've done it for years, and I'll probably keep doing it for even longer. However, short of the guy I was talking about earlier, I've not seen anybody make anywhere near $250/hr working from home. What they'll do is have you pay your money, get generic information you could find for yourself on google, and laugh all the way to the bank.

its probably a digital large format camera that have enormous sensors like 20 megapixels.

but you don't need that to take photos worthy of magazines, its all about the lighting.

but i definatly agree with diablo about it being a scam. there are very few people who make a livable salary on photography.

"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.
