"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Playstation 2 or Xbox 360

I'm debating whether I should buy a Playstation 2 or Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 is obviously the better system, but it is also more expensive. The games for PS2 are half the price of 360 too.

Is the PS2 still a good system. Also I don't have a big TV so would this affect the quality of the game?

I will be playing games like NHL 08, Tiger Woods '08, NBA Live '08, etc...

What should I do?
 

"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.

I used to think the exact same way. But it would be fun to have a PS2 around when I get tired of work though.

The Xbox 360 is too expensive. I'll go with the PS2. I'd be better of taking the money i'd save and invest it in new clothes or keep saving for my car.
 

"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.

PS2 is the most successful console of all time. It STILL sells the most consoles, even today, about 7-8 years after its release. It has the largest library of games of any console, as well.

In other words... you can't go wrong with PS2. Unless you prefer graphics, then 360 is your god.

Wii is actually the current highest selling console, though PS2 is still outselling 360 and PS3 and has a much higher userbase in total and a big game library that you can't really go wrong with

Depends what you're looking for.

If you're the type of dude that just wants to sit back after work/school and play some vid games before you go out - get the PS2

If you love having huge halo fests/parties- 360

Buy what fits you. If you're going to get a 360 and not really use it as a party console, it's going to bore you.

whereas if you buy a ps2 and want to invite all your buddies over, you're gona have a few guys waiting for 2 controllers.

there is this gaming sstem called reality that kick's both their asses. Or so I heard.


with that said.. I'm not a gaming system fan, I'm a game fan. I think I might own 10 games in all. All Metal Gear solids, all the resident Evils, Parasite eve, and all the NCAA footballs. and anything that is a real Mario game. that's pretty much it. when metal gear solid 3 hits the stands, I will buy a PS3.
 

"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.

The PS2 is extremely overpriced today, even if it looks cheap compared to the current generation. Get a used one. And don't buy new games, get them on ebay. I got most of my Xbox games for a few bucks. Don't forget to get some silly games like eye toy or even sing star, I suppose most girls coming to your house would want to try it out.

Lmao. Don't use video games to seduce chicks once you get them home.

Though, once she's your gf, video games CAN be something fun to do together if you don't have anything better going on, or if its raining outside or something. They are a nice way to relax.

Buy XBOX 360 and get it chipped. Then you can download and burn games off the internet. I've known some guys who went with PS instead of XBOX, and they regread it, because there is so many more games for XBOX, and they are just better games, plus it's easy to chip. I install chips.

Get the Xbox 360 if you are a serious gamer, and/or if you have a hi-def TV. cause w/o a hi-def tv, ur 360 will look like half as amazing. In ur situation, i'd go with ps2.
 

"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.
