"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.

Just curious what everyone else thinks.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Most definitely. I'm guessing but hoping that it will not be "The West vs Iran, Iraq (and other Muslim countries), Russia and China.

Japan would probably be on the Wests side, hopefully they got operational Gundams by now :D

If nukes get used we are all dead.

Sweet links fuzzx. Maybe I've seen a bit too many giant robot animes but I seriously believe that mobile suits are the future of war :whistle:

I like the newest one, Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The concept is very interesting, a heavily armed group sets out with the goal of ending all conflict, all wars. It would be very useful in todays world. It would end this stupid Iraq war.

With the way Japan is progressing with robotics I don't think that an actual, movable, combat ready mobile suit is very far off. I would die if the first one was codenamed RX-78 :crackup:
 

"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.

Depends. The only thing I could see causing a world war is fighting over dwindling energy supplies. I can't imagine anything else plunging the whole planet into a war. If we can find some alternate source of energy for cheap, I think a world war will not happen. But if we continue on the path of dwindling oil supplies with all the powerful nations taking a grab at what's left, WW III is very likely at some point.

I doubt we'll see a world war, but I suspect we'll see a lot of very ferocious local wars as more and more nations develop sophisticated military forces, potentially including nukes.
