Bicker, bicker, bicker, bicker, bicker.....
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
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.
Gonna start investing in stock. Any tips for a newbie?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

What you do is called bickering because you get into name-calling. Legend is proclaiming I said things I never said, then asking the same questions over and over that I just directly answered.

LOL. You know any of your specific citations would be crushed.

Thread TL- DR:
Okay. For which investments?
Crickets.
"You called me bad names"
"Uh, get the prospectus"

"You called me bad names"
"I just moved here from Florida."
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.

You know I'm really losing respect for you. The more I discuss things with you, the more you reveal yourself out to be just a dedicated personal TROLL. For some reason you have latched onto me and you butt into my discussions for the sole reason of TROLLING and trying to annoy the hell out of me.
So understand this, I'm going to respond to you here, but just know that I'm going to pull back discussing anything else with you (this thread or any other thread). So (seeing as though you are my dedicated troll) when you respond to me in other threads, just expect me to not give you a respond back.
- To look up fixed income vehicles, you usually have to log into your online brokerage account which you SHOULD KNOW seeing as though you claim you are an active stock picking trader. But here are a list of fixed income instruments from Vanguard including some over 5% as I noted:

- For Lending Club (P2P), again you have to log in and select the loans you would want to invest in, but here's an overview of the average returns, which again are usually over 5% but you do need to diversify:

Tenacity, it appears you know little about stocks and bonds. Your cited 5%+ plus return bonds are what is named in many circles, "junk bonds." LOL!
Your lending club investments are laughable. Are you really going to lend money to consumers based on the representation of LendingClub without a full due diligence package for each consumer you lend money to? Ya, diversify fully via hundreds of loans from Lending Club, and you are protected ... until, of course, Lending Club goes insolvent. LOL
Since you are so trusting, I have a better idea my little lollipop: Send me a check and I will guarantee annual returns of 25% via off-shore REITS and mortgage backed-security trusts secured by Australian farmland further collateralized by Deutche Bank National Association, as Trustee, Successor in Interest to Bank of America, National Association as Trustee as Successor by Merger to Lasalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for Certificateholders of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2014-HE6.

WTF?
- None of those bonds listed are non-investment grade, which is what a "junk bond" would be.
- Lending Club is a public company and a significant number of people are diversifying into P2P loans as a form of fixed income alternative. If you think the investment is too risky for whatever reason, then don't invest in it.
Troll.

Enron was a public company. So was Arthur Andersen.
Lots of people invested in CMOs and CDOs as a form of AAA rated fixed income alternative.
But you wouldn't want to take any risk! No sir.

What does this have to do with anything?
"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.

Ok
not, me, man. big old houses for 60k, VA loans, no money down, no pmi, no closing costs and a rate of 2% for the next 6 years, guaranteed. Line up lots of weekly room tenants before buying. if you know some home inspectors, lawyers, realtors, construction subcontractors, and pay attention, living there your self, you can clear 40k a year with about 10k invested.
