"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

How do I find one? Do they let you do your own work?... on the machines.

Anyone have any experience with this?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It depends on what kind of machine shop you're looking for and what you need done.

Are you looking for tool and die makers, CNC mill and lathe, precision work, metal fab?

Typically, no, they don't just let you do your own work. Those machines aren't cheap. If you need a small job done I would advise that you check out any local highschools that have a tech center with a machine shop. You might be able to get something done for free or cheaply at a place like this. A lot of Job Corps centers have machine shops too. I'd try those places first because for profit shops will cost much more.

If you are interested in learning the trade...at 19 you'd possibly qualify for Job Corps if you are in the US. Also, most of the highschools with tech centers will allow some adults who have already graduated to take tech courses if there is room.

Oh...and some companies will hire people to train to operate those machines. If you PM me where you are from I might be able to find some places in your area you could look at if it's work you're looking for. If there is a subsidiary of Timken near you...go there. They train.

Damn Wyldfire, is there ANYTHING you don't know about? ;)
I'm one of those people who know a little bit about a vast amount of things and know a lot about a fair amount of things.

I've actually done a lot of work in manufacturing and have worked as a machine operator at a few places.

That's what I love about older women, they have so much to teach me and I have so much to learn...

:D
 

"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.

Thanks for the help.

The High School seems like a plausible idea.

No problem...oh, and to anyone looking for a career...a CNC lathe/mill setup/programmer/operator can make about $25 an hour in a lot of places. It's not a bad career choice if you like manufacturing type work.
