"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.

This video is about a man who was taking a nap at what seemed like the most private and peaceful place, but he ended up getting disturbed by a drone.

This video represents a lot about life in 2015, IMO:

- Technology overkill

- Human overload

- No downtime anywhere

There is some humor in this video, but it also represents a sad reality about life today. The poor guy just wanted some peace, maybe he just went through a divorce. Maybe he had just worked a double shift. Or maybe it was a 30 minute lunch break. Who knows. I can tell you that any geek that interrups my nap with a drone is going to have the dead snapped off his pencil neck. Assuming he didn't have a gun to shoot the drone, he should have mooned it. :moon:
 

"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.

You think that's bad?

It is now legal for law enforcement in North Dakota to fly drones armed with everything from Tasers to tear gas thanks to a last-minute push by a pro-police lobbyist.
