"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.

"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.

Gotta love conspiracy theorists. Do you also think UFOs have landed and are in some secret base in New Mexico? That Kennedy was shot by the CIA?
Yes.

C'mon, people have been making up bull like that since pretty much the start of recorded history.
Correction. People have been suspicious since the start of recorded history.

Also, Mr. Learn-To-Write-Before-Posting, YOU may want to do a little research before posting. http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread83236/pg1 (Top 10 REAL conspiracy's). Not every conspiracy theory is made up.

So what? So what if the government does have a UFO in Area 51, and the CIA, the Masons, Nessie, and Bigfoot have summit meetings in Atlantis?
There are still problems (war, pollution, global warming, famine, AIDS, cancer, poverty, etc.) that need solving...
Yeah, but conspiracy theory's are fun.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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, which I don't have a problem with as long as they provide a valuable product. However, this has me concerned about the quality of searches Google will provide in the future.

Google DoubleClick merger: Who wins, who loses

Maybe I will check out the Evil Empire's competing product.
At present Google really only has one competitor. Yahoo Overture. The other search networks, Ask, MSN, and LookSmart are minority players. The only one of the 5 that seems to be gaining any ground over google is Ask, but if Ask ever presents a challenge to google, I suspect it will fall victim to a hostile takeover.

Fact is Yahoo sold out completely years before google was even on the map.

PPC is actually a pretty good thing, I'm getting worried that sooner or later (or maybe even now) google will sell out and enter paid links into organic results.

The fact of the matter is google is gobbling up anything and everything. A strategy that has proven to be disastrous countless times for other companies. I fully expect google to announce that it will split into several smaller corporations within the next 5 years.
I wish I was higher on the corporate ladder :wave:
