"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.

Ive been looking at grad schools and getting information and what not. But i was wondering, why do people usually go to grad schools out of state and not to the same school where they got their bachelors degree from?
 

"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.

In theory, it is to prevent what is known as 'academic inbreeding' and to gain exposure to the viewpoints of other schools. Grad schools are supposed to favor people who did not attend their undergrad program, but it probably varies with the grad program. In practice, grad school admission is very competitive and average starting salaries are often closely related to the national ranking of the school's program. So most people go to the best grad program that will admit them. If you can't get in to a fairly prestigious grad program, then this is less of a concern. Just go where you can afford to go without racking up giant student loan bills.

Are you sure you want to go to grad school? Because from what I've heard it isn't easy at all and you have to absolutely love what you're doing else you'll fall apart.

I am going to get a Masters of Accountancy, but I don't know where yet. I was thinking maybe University College Dublin, but I'm not sure if it would count towards the 150 credits for the CPA... Anyone have an M.Acc.? Where did you go? How was it?
 

"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.

Uhh...im pretty sure. I still have 3 years to decide so im thinking im alright. People go to grad school and law school all the time...even if it is hard. I dont understand why you felt the need to point out what you did; im mature enough to know whats going on.
