"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.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was the gas bill I got the other day. That's it, I'm getting a new job. Fvck this place. The pay is 5hit, I get treated like 5hit. I'm an electronic repair guy who shovels snow, picks up garbage, and builds crates. In case you're wondering, yes, I did get hired to repair electronic crap.

I think the biggest problem is I've been here so fvcking long and I started here when I was young. I was an AFC at the time, and I've been treated like one. Even when I tried to end the treatment, it was forced upon me. Once people develope an opinion of you, its almost impossible to change it.

Anyway, I'm doing up my resume tonight and I'm starting tomorrow pronto. Hopefully the social skills that I learned in the past few years will help me out.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Sounds like you've outgrown the place to me. As you say, people pigeon hole you very quickly and it fvcks them up if you appear not to fit in them anymore.

A real tip though, when you do your letter and at interview, make a point of not sh1tting on your current job or Boss. Think up positive stuff so you don't come across as a moaner or potential troublemaker.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that one, and what kind of an answer to give if I'm asked "So, why are you leaving your current job? I'm thinking of saying something like " I feel that I'm not able to use the full potential of my skills"

I fvcking hate job interviews. I have a difficult time acting so damn phony and bull5hitting about my weaknesses and all that crap.

Boss: Why do you want to work for us?
Me: Because you have an excellent reputation and provide and interesting and challenging working environment for your employees
Me Thinking: (I need more money than my current 5hit job pays me)
