"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Money as debt

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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?

- 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.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
