"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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 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.

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.

Its easy to find the facts and proof for this. Just do a internet search like I just did...
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.

"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.

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:

 

"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.

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.
