"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

to do them. if you'd do it anyway, it's not a job, it's a hobby. I've never found or seen a thing that I'd do as a hobby that would pay a decent salary, or rather, as soon as you make it your livelihood-source, it's not fun anymore. If your job isn't letting you BANK 50k a year, you either need a much bette job, or you need to rein in your lifestyle. Cause you need to be set up to retire in a very few years. then IF you want to keep working for somebody, it's damned well going to be on YOUR terms, and you can drop it like a hot rock anytime that you want or need to do so.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Your post title is a horrible fallacy that can easily lead to an entitlement attitude.

Here's why:

The only reason you get paid is because somewhere, somehow, somebody is paying for a product you are making (assuming you aren't part of some government backed "complex.")

It's entirely possible to LOVE your job and get paid bank, because you happen to be good at something, and like doing it, that people are willing to pay for.

On the other hand, you can get paid doing something you hate, so long as somewhere along the long, you're making something somebody wants to buy.

But if you think that you get paid ONLY because it sucks, you're forgetting the basic law of free market economics.

This is what teachers, post office workers, etc, feel when they think that BECAUSE their jobs is distasteful, they SHOULD get paid a lot.

I bet it'd suck to bang your johnson against a sandpaper wrapped telephone pole all day long, but I doubt anybody would pay you.

Nah man, there's probably a niche porn market for that fetish.

I aint forgot ANYTHING about this so called "free market", bro. Count on that. :) Like I said, if you'd do it for free, it's not a job, it's a hobby. Lots of people get paid for their hobbies, at least somewhat. You are confusing the definition of a "job", that's all.

I came to Las Vegas over ten years ago and after college started my career as a life guard at a casino for scraps. I gritted it out and am now a corporate entity making well over 50k and I have a second job to pad my income. It's never about the job you're doing, you need that to stay alive. It's about where you would like to go and your overall desire to get there. I interviewed and didn't get a ton of jobs and though significantly fewer instances I got jobs and turned them down. There's a certian rhythm to managing a career and every one has their own measure of success.
 

"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.
