"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.

From the article..
Surprisingly, the poll of 2,000 smartphone users finds only three in 10 claim they never leave their house without their phone. When they do bring their phones along, however, most people are completely dependent on it for help.
The survey — commissioned by HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, and conducted by OnePoll — found 55 percent of respondents believe running out of battery power is a “nightmare scenario.” One in eight people claim that a dying battery actually gives them anxiety.
64 percent use it to check the time and 62 percent are constantly looking up weather forecasts. Another 13 percent confess they can’t even find their way to work without a phone showing them a map!
And there is the reason why Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Steve jobs and many other 1 percenters are forbidding their kids any access to any technology until their are 18 years old (like for example computers, smart phones etc.), and putting them in traditionally low tech schools with normal books etc.. They know their product make you dumber....

"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'd be hard pressed to find that the "1%" is not allowing their kids to use computers. That would be some interesting home work and term papers to hand in through handwritten loose leaf paper. The kids prob. have a phone, just not a smart phone. I agree with the later.

Sadly, the average and below are replicating faster than the intelligent people. Thus, there's the imbalance.

Silicon valley even have schools where high tech such as computers are banned.

Dude, I know for a fact Bill Gates gave let his kids use a computer and his daughter has had a smart phone for at least since Twitter and Instagram have been around. Can't say much about Jobs and Zuckerberg's kids are still I believe under 10, so they'd not have a phone. I'll be amazed if none of them use computers or tablets. His home, such as Bill Gate's home, are smart and completely automated. Again, I do not know much about Jobs. The guy was a genius marketer, but a complete assh0le and never cared for Apple products.

That's the ultimate irony. Technology was born and grows from intelligence and designed to help us be smarter but it does quite the opposite.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Yes indeed.
Remember how man phone numbers you had memorized in your head before you had mobile/smart phone? How many do you have now? Most people don't even know their own number.

How about before you used a computer and wrote perfectly grammatically correct English on a paper with a pen but now you are doubting yourself because the damn computer's spelling correction program tells all the time you that what you just wrote is not correct?

Yeah, these devices does indeed makes you dumber lol.

Are you best buddies with Bill Gates as you know this for a fact?
I'm always kind of cautious when people makes these "I know a buddy/I know for a fact" statements. (Nothing personal).

A per this article for example it clearly states that Bill Gates limited his kids access too:
In an interview with the UK Mirror earlier this year, Gates explained that he and his wife Melinda strictly limited their kids' tech exposure, banning them from owning a cell phone before they turn 14 or whipping out their devices at dinner time.

Yea, we were close, but after he learned that I was fvcking Melinda on the side, that gravy train ended. You should read this:

 

"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.

I don’t think the ultra-wealthy view tech in the same way that the average person does. They have hired help to tend to every facet of their life.

Anyhow, here’s the link to Elon’s Astra Nova school. I didn’t see any mention of tech/stem.
