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.

How accustomed are you to sh1tting your pants?WhitePimp said:Unreal. I don't think I've ever heard of an 8.9 scale earthquake happening in recent times. Even though my death would be assured, I would love to see what it looks like to have a gigantic wave barreling towards me.

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.
I sent a PM. Seriously hope he's alrightSharinganUser said:PowPow is in Japan
Yeah, I did earlier, also. I did see he was on here a couple hours ago.Marvin Gaye said:I sent a PM. Seriously hope he's alright

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.
Exactly, the earthquake people have been expecting since 1910.f283000 said:What happened to japan is nothing. While the quake is huge their buildings were made to survive earthquakes.
What's really going to be bad is the "big one" in california. They haven't done jack to prepare and their buildings are nowhere near earthquake proof as japans.
Expect nothing less than total destruction mad max style apocalypse stuff.
I'm sure the free market will fix that one. Who needs government enforced building codes? It's Amurica gosh darnit, not some pasy ass socialist country.f283000 said:What's really going to be bad is the "big one" in california.

This lol. Even in my middle school Earth Science they were saying California lies on a really large fault thats set to move at some point and cause a massive separation/earthquake that will destroy California. We know its going to happen the only question is the date and how many will be hurt.Marvin Gaye said:Exactly, the earthquake people have been expecting since 1910.
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.
You mean optional building codes. Like optional safety codes, and optional health codes for restaurants. Those are the best restaurants, aren't they?Danger said:Free Markets can have building codes.
You mean cynical. Unlesss of course you would like to point out what views in my post you think are extremist. Is it suggesting that building codes are a good thing? Making sarcastic comments of American views on socialism? Or is it because I disagree with your opinion and you have no clever comeback and then you go to the extreme yourself?No need to be so extremist.
Oh yes. Of course the US government caused the earthquake. Because earthquakes in Japan aren't a common occurrence.f283000 said:
That's not how currencies work. Currencies have value RELAITVE TO EACH OTHER. While the dollar may gain some value compared to the yen, it's still toilet paper compared to the rest of the currencies.Drdeee said:Prior to quake yen was most stable and attracted investors. Now, watch for USD to rise in value and people invest in it. I can see the dollar go up in value a bit.
This sounds interesting. Please post your references and the breakdown of their finances if possible.As far as red cross goes, do not give them your money, they love to steal. After 9/11 American Red Cross collected $564 million, and only $154 were ever distributed.
The Red Cross is a very busy organization and they do work everywhere. It's possible some of the funds were used in other regions. We can only know for sure by looking at their finances. Thanks to regulations, they have to use GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) so it would be difficult to cook the books and get away with fraud.After 1989 San Francisco quake Red Cross passed on only $10 million of the $50 million that have been raised.... Don't let yourself be taken advantage of by crooks disguised under humanitarian umbrella.
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.
