"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.

I love anything written by Napolean Hill.

"Think and Grow Rich" is a goldmine!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

On top of that, do you really want to piss off the girlfriend?

Girlfriend is not the same as a million dollar deal. If this gf goes away, I can get another one. But if this business goes away, can I get another million dollar deal that easily?

very true, but it is just another thing that will help make your life go easier and maybe I should have said, "Wife." She can take half your sh!t too if she wants to leave.

Well I will make sure I will get a wife who appreciates me not my money :p. There still are quality chiks out there.
 

"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.

Every chick is a gold digger*, it just matters to what degree.

* = everybody loves money but just to a certain degree.

Great book imo...one of the best lessons out of it..people absolutely hate criticism... absolutely hate it..especially women..

the line from the movie..."

just take away reason and accountablitly from a man and you have women."
