"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.

Ok I got this 27in bubble screen (not flat screen) Phillips. Not too shabby condition, I only got it like maybe a summer or two ago. I'm considering getting a flat screen 32in. What do you guys think, should I get this or just save up for a 57in, yay or nay?
 

"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.

Whenever I've visited a really successful persons house, I've always been suprised by how small their TV is.

Completely agree

Television is a means of passive entertainment. Most successful people I know have a nice TV, but not a huge one. They don't have cable or satellite, but rather rent Netflix and watch movies/TV series on those occasions when they're looking for passive entertainment. Everything seems to come out on DVD within a year or two of it hitting the theater or the airwaves.

Regardless, to answer your question, there is a new breed of TVs coming out that might be a good idea to investigate.

Watching TV is very unproductive IMO. I can always find more constructive things to do rather than sit in from of the TV. I usually only watch it when I'm eating, or having snuggle time with the woman. I don't have cable, I usually just throw on a video. I get my news by radio, and my weather by internet. I kill conversation when someone asks, "Have you seen that commercial where...."

However, if you love your TV, go buy a big one.

"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.
