"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.

Just curious. And give your occupation if you wish

I am a welder and I make $13.40 an hour.
 

"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.

"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.

Dude, take it from a former gamer, Get out while you're still in school. Focus on school and work out a plan with your parents if they are paying for college/uni.

Games are the biggest waste of time, Fun as hell, but nothing really comes out of it. Trust me. CS was nothing compared to my Battlefield 1942(desert combat mod) addiction. i had clans from all over literally hiring me as a chopper pilot merc.

But no matter what, after college i'll still make a **** load more than i ever could have as a gaming merc.

for OP, i'm in college right now, but i have an offer from Embridge gas, 50k a year as a G2 Tech to start once i'm done college. And that's not counting any freelance work i do as a contractor.

Mine's an oddball job. Just to make a few bucks while I'm in uni, not looking to make it a career.

It's 8hrs/week @ $25, under the table. Started recently.

The Marriott hotel here on the coast has a huge artificial salt-water lagoon, complete with tropical fish and pretty much an entire ecosystem. Stuff like that needs cleaning though. I put on scuba gear and clean/scrub/maintain the lagoon. Two 4 hour sessions a week, spending most of it submerged.

Over the summer break(december-february), I might do fruit picking. Wake up at 530am, pick fruit from 6am-1pm at roughly $12-15/hr, 5 days a week.

I used to work in a bar back in Canada at $14.50/hr + tips, up to $10 per hour.

None of those jobs are something to make a career out of. The only thing I'd consider doing full-time is bartending, and even that is a pretty demanding job if your in a busy establishment.

I am in sales for a software company. Made just under $150,000 US last year. Should beat that this year but not by much- maybe another $8K-$10K.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Futures Trader (daytrading) . No salary, so I can only project my annual salary at somewhere around $50-$100k for next year.

This year has been a long hard road. Just starting to pull in $400-$1000 per week recently.

Im student, I work casually in a hardware store at $20p/h, I gotta get out of there as it gets too hot working outdoors during summer. However, because we operate in the construction industry we take less sh1t from the customers and a lot of my azzhole co-workers will mouth-off at people on the slightest provocation, making it easier in that sense.

Compared to when I worked as a coffee maker for $10p/h under the table. More of a "customer is right" ethos at that place, more women customers too which means you get more b1tches with foul attitudes.

I assist with research at my university. Pays about 250 euros a week, for about 5 hours' worth of work, and possibly one out-of-town trip a month to look for material in other university libraries. I think they think I work a lot more hours than I do to earn my 250 a week, but I get the work done extremely quickly (so they tell me), so oh well.

The downsides are that I had to beat out 400 other applicants from my department to land this job, and the funding for the research topic runs out very soon.

Well I'm still in school so I'm working a temp job right now to kill extra time and get a little spending money. I only make $8 an hour (not bad in rural KY) and bring home around 265-270 a week. No where near a lot of money, but that will all change in time.
