"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.

"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.

From my experience as a White male, most White folks I know don't view Blacks as being racist, but rather see Blacks as always bringing race into any and every issue whenever a Black person is involved. It gets really tiresome and even the most liberal of Whites are growing weary of this knee-jerk reaction.

It's really disconcerting because if the Black community frivalously brings up the race issue when clearly there was none, it undermines real social injustices that take place.

reppity repped

I'm not racist, I don't know anyone who is (to my knowledge)..I have no problem with black people. But just from what I've observed they (not all black people obviously) do seem to be more fixated on race, about issues in which race never would have occurred to me.

"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.

Yeah the "protesters" attacked people walking down the street.. because they were white?... but the jurors, Zimmerman, and everyone else involved is racist, who are the real racists here?

This was a media circus from day one. The Liberal media needed a two fold victory - one against guns, the other a pumped up racial angle. Sometimes reality and liberal ideology disagree.

I dont know how to tell you without touching your sensitivity but it may happen that a certain person is dislike because he is an a$$hole and not because of his race...even more surprisingly someone can fail because he sucks and not because someone is discriminating against him.

It reminds me that story about the kid screaming that the house was on fire only for the people gathering with water to find out it was a joke...well the joke kept going many days till the people got tired of it and when the real fire came, nobody believed to the kid.
