"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.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
