At my high school, I am infamously eccentric. I wear tin foil as clothing, loudly voice my support for the ideas of Malcolm X (despite being white), rap and argue for fun. I am not a wigger before that comes up; I wear tye-dye and sometimes a fez. I am beyond conventional subculture. I act this way because I hate the town I live in (the locals were cruel to me before I did any of this so I decided that I would act strange to annoy them.) For the last couple of years, I've been spending my school days with a czech immigrant who believes he's the next Nietzche and a Buddhist kid. I was fairly content with the arrangement until I decided to reclaim my heritage by converting to Judaism. My two ex-friends are apparently extreme anti-semites. Now I've decided to assimilate into mainstream culture but I'm not quite sure how to do it. To say the least, I have a reputation. I hate the locals but I think they will treat me better than these two jerks. I also have a crush on a black girl but I'm afraid of coming off patronizing because of my previous black power rhetoric. This is a strange situation and I dont know how to get out of it.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
