"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Putin a DJ?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Awww hell fvckin yeah bro! -----> This is one of my favorite Euro-Pop songs of all time! :yes:

I'm guessing that you're Russian prairiedog24?
(Although I could still be completely wrong)

But in all honesty, there is quite a consensus world-wide placing Vladimir Putin as one of the "sexiest" national leaders :cool:

Mad props for posting this video dude! :up:

Naw... I'm not Russian, I have German Mennonite roots (although the ancestors lived in Russia, does that count?), and I work for a Russian owned and managed company. I was their original english-as-an-only-language hire, so I give them crap whenever possible. Also have a teenage Russian cousin (adopted). GF is Serbian.

For some reason I just can't escape the slavs at this point in my life. What can I say. :flowers:

So you're one of these people?

Pretty cool dude... :)

It's actually pretty crazy that you were hired as their English-language-only speaker. We have quite a few Russian stores over here where I live (I was actually working for one for a while) and they never hire people who don't speak the tongue of the motherland! Guess they needed your impeccable translating abilities huh?... and what kind of bullsh1t did my Soviet cousins put you through? :crackup:

In terms of your girlfriend, she's probably pretty hot right? (you wouldn't be with her for any other reason now would you...;)) Serbians are actually the closest thing to the Russian people (after the Belarussians and Ukranians). From an objective point of view, Eastern European women are actually known the world-over for their impeccable beauty. As a matter of fact, Mystery and many other famous lotharios have been known to have made statements on behalf of the superb beauty of Eastern European women :flowers:

I'm glad my people have made such a good impression on you prairiedog24..... :cool:
 

"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.

Haha, I've never seen that wiki article. That's us. I have to say though, lots of that stuff I wouldn't recognize. I should read up!

They even have my specific denomination, and it does talk about them being a Russian group. Interesting, I wasn't sure how that all worked because we're def German, my grandparents all speak German, but their food seems to be exclusively Russian.

Ah no I love my managers and they love me. They tried to get me to stay and go into the business with them, but I left for lawschool, so I only work for them when I'm back on breaks now and over the summer. My "Russian" story about working for them, was my very first day they decided I was a good guy who could be trusted with the store, so they left for 3 hours while I ran things. Three different Russian families came in. The only thing I could do was say "nyet paruski" (at least I knew that thanks to my russian cousin) and write down the bosses cell phone numbers for them. I'm sure they got an earful about the stupid american they hired.

Yeah dude she's awesome. Kinda the reason I'm at this forum though. I've learned Serbian girls have an extremely...umm... "materialistic" cultural outlook on life these days. Radically different from my background. We're so opposite in so many ways.

I'm glad my people have made such a good impression on you prairiedog24..... :cool:
haha... pretty much. I love my russians (and my serb) but deep down inside I'm still USA all the way =)
