"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 Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Its a continuation of the world's greatest keyboard the IBM Model M now known as the Customizer 104/105 under its new production company Unicomp.

The thing is an engineering marvel though it is noisy to type on.

Its noisy because of its buckling spring technology which gives an excellent tactile response for each keystroke and helps to prevent people from making errors compared to today's modern rubberdome silent keyboards that are easy to type on but also just as easy to press a pile of extra keys causing you to mess up and take longer typing something out than you would of otherwise.

KontrollerX, he was talking about a musical keyboard.

A few weeks ago I bought a Yamaha PSR-E213 keyboard for about $125 with it's "survival kit" which includes a power adapter, headphones, and a foot pedal. (The headphones suck.) It was the lowest-end keyboard and works great. For you, it is programmed with 102 songs to learn, 100 styles of music, and 375 instruments/sound effects (e.g. guitar, saxophone, synth lead, percussion, drum kits, etc).

If you're serious about playing, you're gonna want something with weighted keys. Otherwise, you're going to have a difficult time learning the proper touch. Those Casio Privias are fairly cheap and are actually well-made digital pianos, and any of the Yamahas with weighted keys are excellent instruments no matter what your skill level is.

Of course, if you're just looking for something to mess around on, go for the cheaper Yamahas like Deep Dish suggested.
 

“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.
