"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.

Why aren't you instead working on furthering your education and make yourself more valuable to potential employers?
I can't F'N afford college, okay?

Please don't tell me about grants, loans, and stuff like that cause if there's so much free money out there, everyone should be able to attend college.

This is not a good time for me to attend school. I definitely will further my education by my mid-20's, but even then, it will probably be a technical school.
 

"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.

Never base your happpiness on how much money or how many women you have!!! These are the two top reasons why men commit suicide!!! You should not be happy with your situation but you also shouldn't be depressed over it!

Find a industry that you enjoy and will be good in doing and get an entry level job - in five years you'll br making much more than the 21k that you seek - if your performance is above par!!

Seek the type of work vs. the starting pay - your rewards will not be in the beginning but will come in a few years and will have much more future potential and satisfaction.

Networking is about offering and recieving something - most people make the mistake of thinking networking is just about being friendly and getting favours. And if you have nothing to offer, then regardless of your friendly factor, you're not likely to get much.

(Unless your uncle is the chief executive of a good-sized company)
Yeah, there are limitations, that's a given. But that applies to everything really.

Whatever your skill level, entry or pro, having the ability to talk, connect with, and persuade people is EXTREMELY valuable. I'll go so far as to say that it is THE MOST IMPORTANT skill you can have.

Speaking ability is much more than just being friendly.

Number one, COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!! Number two, if everyone WANTED/knew how to affordably to go to college, EVERYONE WOULD GO TO COLLEGE!!! I turned 20 2 weeks ago, tomorrow I start a nearly 20,000 dollar a year full time job as a lot porter at a car dealer, AND I'm taking 9 units of automotive classes at the local junior college in an effort to work my way up the chain. Don't be stupid. Find a way to MAKE your dreams work. Settling for a crap job is like dating a UG3 when you want an HB8.

I normally don't see eye to eye with MetalFortress, I agree with him here. Don't settle for less when it comes to your future, find a way to make it work bro.

Peace.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
