"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.

"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.

Agree on everything except that millenials have no fault for being the cvnts they really are.
If someone coming from a crappy family that destroy his self esteem when he is in the weakest point can stand up and succeed then some random cvnt who got misled and spoiled from his family can learn to deal with the real world without getting depressed.

I dont buy that a group goes out and only takes one phone. I also dont think its my job to nurture a millenials emotions so they feel better at work. Overall good video though. Agree with most of the rest of it.

Democracy: The God The Failed
Hans Hermann Hoppe basically explained why this is happening from a structural point of view. As a democracy ages, politician compete for votes by promising things to people that they wouldn't otherwise get on their own. This creates both increasing moral hazard (everybody believes there should be a safety net for EVERYTHING) and increased time preference (inability to delay gratification).
Unfortunately, this is only goes in one direction and will only reverse itself through a long and painful collapse.
Given that robots are coming and global leaders are already floating the idea of a "basic income" (everybody on welfare) this will only get worse, not better.
Everybody will get dumber, fatter, and less capable of self directed thought.
Bad for society at large, but good for forward thinking males who wanna get some.

The Harvard Business Review had a really interesting paper on businesses. In the middle they detail how generations (and their behavior) are cyclic. I could be wrong, but I think the millennials are the rebirth of the 60's flower children. Very interesting read, if only for that information.

"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.

Generational Theory: 80 year cycle with four repeating archetypes. Every 80 years there's a big ass war that kills a bunch of people.
According the the theory, Millennials' are the "Hero" Generation. They're supposed to "rise up" and fix things when they go off the rails.
Compared today's "Hero" Generation (Millennials') to the previous "Hero" Generation (GI's who fought Nazi's)
We are SO FVCKED.

@taiyuu_otoko huh...last time I reflected on this information I thought I read that the millennials were looking for a hero (and then I wondered if trump was going to be that hero)
Huh, looking at the table above....I just dont see it in millennials....unless you look at the negative reputation entry.
Yea...millennials...doesn't look good, eh?

Great stuff and theory... you forgot 1 thing... Disease... every 70 years or so... mankind was faced with a disease that wiped out alot of people from all social structure.
It didn't help to keep life easy and did help shape generations of ''never complaint''
