"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.

Hi to all,
Gran Torino is a movie about the relationship between neighbors from different cultures. Clint Eastwood is perfect for the role of Walt Kowalski, a retired Ford factory worker who is a Korean War Veteran. The movie begins with the funeral of Walt Kowalski's wife.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

You do realize he didn't defend himself on purpose right? He was a "law abiding 'merican" and rather then commit murder he got the gang to murder him resulting in them looking at life in prison.

It was a seriously alpha ending.
Let's look at some movie alphas played by Clint Eastwood and others - The Man With No Name (Sergio Leone trilogy), Dirty Harry, Cool Hand Luke, John McClane. These men had their own laws to live by. Sometimes they are in tune with governmental laws and sometimes not. WK supplicated.

Paul Newman and Bruce Willis played Luke and McClane respectively.

Newman is another example of a great man.
