"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But the old geezers getting his panties in a bunch and assuming its the 14 year old.
I don't believe he made the joke about the 18 year old, but I don't think it matters. He doesn't matter to me if she was 14 (which is old enough to get pregnant), 18 or 28. If (which will never happen) he had made the same joke about a liberal politician's daughter then it would've been considered by most everyone as offensive. The point is there's a liberal bias, sort of like the one you have.
 

"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.

Letterman responded last night by saying that the joke was aimed at 18-year-old Bristol Palin, not Willow: “We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news and we made some jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter [Bristol]... and now they’re upset with me…” Letterman said.
But yet,
Palin was in New York with her 14-year-old daughter, Willow. (source)
So, how is it conceivably believable it wasn't about the 14 year old? The writers had their facts wrong?

All this outrage is just a way for Sarah to generate heat to coin a phrase from wrestling. That woman and her family has been the butt of so many jokes its ridiculous. Now that she's out on her own and trying to get noticed by her own party, she wants to take a stand. It's just like when Bill O' Reilly skipped over every woman Eminem made fun of in his video to say how wrong it was to make fun of funbags...I mean Palin.

Because the 14 year old wasn't knocked up before. Was she?

It took Letterman a couple days to come out and say it was about the 18 year-old Bristol. Why did it take him so long to respond?

The daughter he was talking about was definitely Willow. He was talking about how how Palin and her daughter were in NY at a Yankee game recently and then she got knocked up by A-rod in the 7th inning. The daughter that was with Palin at that game was Willow. Pretty obvious he was lying.

No one here can deny that it was a terrible joke about a young woman who did nothing to deserve it. Imagine if someone made that joke about your daughter on National television? I don't think anyone here would be laughing. I think they would want to tear Lettermans arms off and beat him with them. Or sue the hell out of him.
 

"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.

All I want to know is where's A-Rod's apology?
