"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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