Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Are you talking online poker?

Why not spend that time tripling your own cash? Thought so.
 

"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.

No, I'm talking about a real casino in Vegas.

just buy 40 shares of Microsoft and forget about it. M$FT has dominated nearly everything they've went after. it's a high growth utility company, if that makes any sense.

Equinox Minerals Limited (EQN) on the ASX. High risk/high reward.

Though, may not want to take a long-term position on copper.

This company has gone up 1000% in the past 2 years. Production expected to take place by first half 2008, with EPS of 91c per share (current share price 3.74) by 2009. Uranium also a big possibility and likely production area in the future, as much is found in the Zambian copperbelt.

Volatility depends on the Chinese economy, which only recently experienced a copper shortage, pushing up price. Copper demand in China is expected to increase by 6.5% in the next year. India is also in high demand, and the recent US housing market "crisis" did not affect copper demand to the extent expected. I have valued the company at nearly double what its trading at, based on current spot prices.

GOLDMAN SACHS JB WERE agreed with me.

$1200 really isn't a lot to invest in and those who said you could make it in a week are true. Great mindset though, but until you get a job and some more money to play with $10,000+, just have fun with it... sparingly of course.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If you live in the US, open a Roth IRA account. The IRA is just the tax umbrella, where you invest the money is up to you. Most investment advisors would say to park the money in an index fund that tracks the overall stock market, because expense fees are very low.

Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax earnings, but accumulation and withdrawals upon retirement are tax-free. US residents should max out their Roth contribution every year.

Invest the first 20euros in the following book-

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.

It is the bible of 'value investing' and the only investment technique worth following. Forget growth shares, value is where its at.

Just wish it hadn't taken me until 28 to work this out.
