"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

A friend of mine shown me this a few days ago:

Its not at all reliable, but the thing that stood out is that it asks what type of person you are; 'normal', 'sadistic', 'pedimistic', or 'optimistic'. It seems most of us here have a very positive, laid back view of life, so they would be classed as optimistic. The calculator shows that people who are optimistic, live the longest. Its made me curious to see if we're going to live longer than the average person. I know it sounds ridiculous...
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

but do they live hte longest because they are optimistic, or is it rather that whatever it is about them that makes them live the longest also makes them optimistic?

personally my view is that its not how long you live, its how much you live.

when your time is up, its up. regardless of what some program on the internet tells you.

I thought it was a "optimistic" evaluation rather than whetever we are optimistic. Anyway, see on the other side after 2055 Septemper 14.

Mmm, they say that the first person to live to be 1000 has already been born.
Some leading experts say we are on the verge of being able to stop and even reverse aging.

Give me your sources.

Now for my opinion based on facts:

Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes that shorten as we age, and once they disappear, you are dead since your cells fail to divide.

Trouble is, infinite telomeres results in unrestricted growth. Sounds good? Not really, because that's cancer. It's a delicate balance and we're no where NEAR getting rid of aging. Stem cells hold the best potential.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

im 21, and hoping in 50 years time we'll discover some cure of aging a death

Bioshock style, adjust our DNA, so old old wringly bodies can regenerate to theri peak physical condition
 

"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.

I wasn't saying it as fact. I was just saying.

Anyway, ScienceNation on NPR did a show on it.

But like I said, there are groups of scientists that are saying we are on the verge.
I froget their method but I don't beleive it involved stem cells.

But I don't have an opinion on it. I'm not a genetic engineer.

I just calculated my death clock, and if you enter the same information twice different results pop up. Not very reliable to say the least....
