"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.

Crazed gunman entered Cole Hall (big lecture hall) and opened fire at Northern Illinois University, with a shotgun, glock, and pistol, killing 5 and wounding a dozen more before taking his own life.

This one hits a little close to home as I am an NIU alumnus and had more than a few classes at Cole Hall, and have friends still there. This is also about 2 weeks after there was a 5-victim murder in Tinley Park (a Chicago suburb) involving an NIU alumnus who was also a friend of mine.

Even the cornfields and suburbs aren't safe anymore, it's very creepy. Very shocking, especially considering how close these events were near each other, even if they were unrelated.

Still trying to get in touch with friends on campus to make sure it wasn't anyone I knew...
 

"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.

Glad you're alive bro.

My condolences ahead of time if it turns out you've lost anyone to this maniac.

Still all of these school shootings I think have a deeper meaning than just someone being nutty in the head and going off.

I think there is something deeply wrong with our culture and society that creates these monsters.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm sending you my condolences as a VT Hokie. I actually went to high school with the VT shooter and 2 of the victims. It was just too close to home.

Even odds that the dude posted on here before. This place is a breeding ground for such souls.

Appears that the dude in Finland still has the lead in number of kills at a school this year. That dude actually shot a bunch of video and created a webpage. I guess the Finns really are Net savvy folk. And yes, Finland (like much of Europe) has a love affair with guns. Part of Finnish culture.

If everyone in the classroom had guns, they'd see the guy start firing wildly into the crowd, then everyone would simultaneously quickly reach into their jacket pockets, pull out their loaded berettas, and shoot the guy down from long range before he managed to kill anybody. Its that easy!


Really the only way for that argument to be viable and actually effective in a situation to prevent any loss of life is if every american had both a) loaded guns and b) the ability to predict the future.

I think there is something more to all these shootings other than just another nut loosing it and killing everyone. It seems to be happening alot now. Its something about the world,not blaming the world,cause everyone is responsible for there own actions. This is just all the inevitably bad stuff that is going to happen. You see No Country For Old Men? The Chigurgh character,is a metaphor for alot of this...
 

"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.

Guns for everyone then. That'll work, people are basically good and trustworthy and won't use them when they're drunk or anything. Do the homeless get to have guns too?

Um, the kid wanted to die, as most of these gunman who do this type of thing do. Putting more guns into peoples hands will only feed the problem.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
