"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Money as debt

"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.

Yeah that's pretty interesting. Regardless of fiat or backed money, I'm not sure why we'd want private bankers issuing money with interest. But I'm not sure I'd trust the government any more than private bankers.

Don't you love that the best quotes in the movie were those from people who worked for the Federal Reserve?

"A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king."
- Herodotus

It's inevitable, in distant future there will be only one goverment. Money cedes to be a problem and is not loaned to existence.
 

"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.

So what was the take-home message of the original video? Don't borrow money?

With no take-home message, it becomes a "yes.... and?"

...to use debt (other peoples money) to buy productive assets, and keep a close eye on your balance sheet. the winners are ones whose assets rise (inflation adjusted, risk adjusted, tax adjusted) at a greater rate than their borrowing cost.

bankers are evil. they lend you money to buy things. pure EVIL. :crazy:

the losers use debt (other peoples money) to have parties or to make ends meet.
