"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.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.

There are limitations to this. If you're a high school graduate with nothing special, you're not likely to impress a senior executive, even if you're Mr Friendly.

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 just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
