"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.

Red Rising

I bought and read this book the first day it came out by coincidence. This is an amazing, action packed, and easy to read book.

It's about a character in a caste based society, who's in the lowest class, red (depending on the colors of their irises). He rises up against an oppressive government and unleashes h3ll. The Golds are at the top and you learn how they stay up there (not just money). It's already set to be a trilogy and second book is already being edited and should be out in a year from now. Director has already picked up the book and will be directing it and book has only been out 7 days.

Great and entertaining 400 page read for anyone interested in rising to power and enjoys dystopian literature.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Most books that are picked up for a sequel or more i'm assuming are generally favorable among the public.

It is a planned trilogy. The publishers liked his book so much, they wanted to lock him into a 3 book deal. The second book is not released yet and is being edited, and i haven't heard anything about the 3rd book. The first book of the trilogy was released on January 28th, 2014. No other books have been released but there are 2 more books supposed to be on their way.
 

"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.

I think some of you guys will enjoy this book and it's emphasizes great characteristics that successful leaders possess and therefore i think will be a good read for any guys interested in being successful or a good leader.

one of the quotes from red rising that I think it's pretty bad@ss

"You do not follow me because I am the strongest... You do not follow me because I am the smartest... You follow me because you do not know where you are going. I do."

Isn't this the second time you've made a post about this book? Are you the author or something, or just a major fanboy?
