"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.

That is just great. As soon as you get something good and original on the net it is then sold for the highest bidder and then chopped to pieces by big media companies. I wonder what Google is going to do with it. Probably eliminate most of the file sharing video's that are considered copyright infringement and have other companies buy most of the viewing space so we can watch their crap that doesn't make it on television.
 

"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.

Google was probably the best big company to buy it. It's been the only company that could go toe to toe with Microsoft. Besides, You-Tube has yet to turn a profit so if anything Google is going to find a way to expand it's market share even more (more than likely leveraging it's own video facility). None the less, the purchase has made Microsoft make a quick push of it's video facility http://soapbox.msn.com. You gotta love it when a company comes along that's talented enough to compete with Microsoft.

I find that so strange, I know youtube is doing good but it seems like google video is having no trouble at all, why they needed to buy it is strange.

Market share, and the increase of millions of prospective hits to YouTube already = advertising

Absolutely. It's a page right out of the Microsoft management bible.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Exactly. It will still be the same except you will have to watch a short advertisement before a clip.
