"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.
how much money do you make per hour?

"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.

I'd say it probably comes out to about $25 per hour after expenses at 10-15 hrs per week.

I'm an RN working in critical care. Here's our salary index in Alberta:Social_Leper said:

My base rate is for year 4, so 36.80 + 1.25 for my degrees + 2.5 for working a half and half day and night shifts. Works out to be like 40 or something. Double that for overtime.
The most money I've ever made per unit time is when I was a stripper... My record is just under $1200 cash in one night for 4 stagettes. My record for one stagette in town is a bit over $500, and all-time for one up in the North, close to $900! Towards the end of my career I'd routinely made 225-250 w/ tips for a 25-30 minute show... cash of course, so you don't pay any tax! Works out to be 500+/hour cash! No matter how much more training or education I get in my lifetime, I'll never be able to make that much money per unit time.
I find it crazy how low wages are in the US... I mean how do people live on those wages???? I've never made anything less than 100 k equivalent since I've been done school. I have a reasonably good job, but nothing crazy. Even in school, for "normal" jobs like serving and working selling retail supplements I was making probably a bit over $20/hour... of course this was during the boom.
For Americans who wanna work hard, make money and get away from the sinking ship that is the US, consider moving to Alberta. If you're a tradesman or a skilled labor dude, you'll have it made. Sure its cold here, but theres' tons of job, the mountains are beautiful and we have way less fat chics than the US!
"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.

Still pull in 80k-100k$ a year,and looking to increase this in 2012, substantially. I have a new business I'll be buying out that is already doing well and will almost double my income in the next 2-4yrs.
It's all about specializing in something unique and/or of significant value that people are willing to pay you for. Follow your passion and you'll never have to work a day in your life.

Rock on, our rates are comparable once I am qualified. That takes a few years to get finished, but they pay you to basically learn on the job and go to school. If funny you mention critical care because I work on (sometimes) critical nuclear reactors. Its a round the clock job sometimes, so you get all the OT, night shifts and sometimes vacation work days which adds up in pay, but can really take away from your life away from work.Fuglydude said:
