"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.

Dude. Get this, they give you credit without interest what so ever. This is practiced throughout Europe (not even mentioning middle east), especially in Britain. Banks like Citibank and Barclays even have special customer windows for "islamic banking". In analogy it is like kosher in food. Check this wikipedia article out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_banking_and_finance


Fvck yeah I want a mortgage without usury!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

They call 'interest' something else and do the same things banks in the non-Muslim world do.

Not that you would know that. You're too busy reading comic books about religion.

Well in Iran... they have no such thing as credit..... its cash value only, no mortgage

They do offer interest rate however on investment.

Islamic banking is the same has Christian banking of old.

The idea comes from the Koran. Mohammed directed his followers to not charge each other interest.

What they do is just load up the loans with fees, which are not technically interest.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Islamic banking means they're buying a house, which you can immediately use, and then later they sell you that house at a price which is higher than usual. So it's the exact same thing, just different name.

The nice twist about the whole thing is that it can (supposedly) only be done with existing goods, and not certificates and stuff without value to back it up.

But hey, look at the arab countries, money will always find a way.
