"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.

Just curious about the psych tests that companies are now making people take before submitting a job application. I went for a part time job and I had to fill out a 24 page test online with different questions. Basically they ask you a question and you pick 4 choice from strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree.

To make a long story short I failed. Maybe they found out im crazy or something but honestly I have been a good employee to all my past employers. How much can they honestly expect to learn through these tests?

And also how do they determine if you fail/pass?
 

"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.

How did you fail?

It's a damned psychological test, not a job placement test!

edit: Okay maybe it is a job placement... how honest were you? 'They' say there are false scales inputted into each of the psych tests to find anybody who will 'fake' their personality.

PS where did you take the test, it will probably help us answer you.

I had to take such a test for the army. I didnt say "yes" to some crazy questions because I didnt want them to send me to a crazy people hospital. I'm not joking. But still they said I'm not entirely sane. This sh!t scared me!

I hate that kind of crap and think it's kind of invasive. Where the hell am I applying, the f*cking NSA? I just answer the questions however makes me look best.

It's called a "personality inventory". What it does is basically shows the employer whether your personal profile fits the job and the only way you can fail is if you fall for all the traps. Which means that you try to make yourself look good throughout the test but fail to remain consistent somewhere because of the traps. You might have noticed that they asked the same question maybe 3-4 times, but each time they worded it differently and each question was spread out between something like 30-50 other different questions.
 

"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.
