Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Well, we are inside of a large cosmic void. You can visualize it by imagining our galaxy falling into this void. Void KBC is 2 billion light years across is characterized by 15 to 50 percent underdensity -- which does several things. Less x-ray and y-ray radiation might mean proper conditions for life to develop. Secondly, light travels slightly different through our void, thus our observations of distant universe are most likely incorrect. Hubble constant measurements are incorrect. Red shift measurements are incorrect.

We do calculate age of universe to be 13.8 billion light years, and yet we observe galaxies older than universe. This new study of KBC void suggests age of universe much younger, perhaps as young as 12.7 billion light years.

"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.

Our understanding of things is still at a child like level and once we actually figure things out will likely be so far off it will be astounding about virtually everything.
