"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.

"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.

My friends are pretty good at it, after about 3 different batches.

The first batch had those brave enough to try it throwing up within minutes.

I tried to make wine when i was 10 or so. I threw a bunch of grapes in a can and put them under my bed and forgot about them. What I found was disgusting and Im pretty sure it wasnt wine.

Has anyone here tried home brewing or had any friends that tried it? How did it go, and was the beer any good?

I home brew from time to time. Bought a kit (one 5 gallon bucket for fermenting, another for bottling, bottle capper, siphons, tubing, etc.) for $70 a couple years ago. It's usually $20 for the ingrediants to brew 5 gallons or 48 12oz bottles.

So far I've brewed Bavarian wheat ale, Belgian ale, Blonde ale, and Hefeweizen. I've only done ales, as lagers require lower temperature for fermenting. While not as good as an import, it's often better than some microbrews you'd find in a restaurant. The important part is thoroughly sanitizing all the equipment, as bacteria will ruin the taste.

The more serious brewers will do the whole process from scratch, which requires extracting the malt from the grain and more time/equipment. The easier way is to just buy malt in liquid form that's already been extracted from the grain. That way you just have to boil it in a pot with water, steep some grains for flavoring, add the hops, cool it down, add the yeast, let ferment for a few days, and bottle it.
 

"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.

One of my roommates from last year makes his own brews. They're not so bad, I forget what he puts in them though.

Give me a Heineken anyday though...
