"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.

Question about how office work affects health

Many careers, like mine, involve quite a lot of time sitting on your butt in an office. I am worried about the long term effects this will have on health. For instance will I get a big ass from sitting so much, or depressed? Sometimes I do feel depressed sitting in such cloistered environment, and I feel isolated. If I follow an exercise regimen after work like 30 minutes of cardio and wight lifting 4x a week will I stay OK? What do you guys do? Thanks.
 

"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.

Out of the box
Learn to exercise in your chair man! Get pumped, start head banging, just do random goofy things in your chair...

Your boss going to be pissed at you? Write an office memo that everybody should be doing the exact same excercises as you to stimulate blood flow to the brain!

After work, go work out, play a sport, do something; you only have to sit on your @ss 8 of the 24 hours in a day.
