"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.

"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.

Alle_Gory said:Wait, so during the second world war, these German companies were still traded internationally or was that all restricted to German borders only once the war was well underway. I'm curious how many of them survived four years of war. I know Siemens survived by helping out the regime at the time, helping with various fund raising, lending their equipment and etc.
But what about the rest of them?
Daimler-Benz, Rolls Royce, BMW, Siemens, all of them were at the heart of the German military machine. They built tanks, engines, armament, weapons, everything.
If you guys want to see some badass tanks, look up German tanks of WWII on wikipedia. Their medium, heavy, and super heavy tanks are truly some of the baddest machines I've ever seen. The massive King Tiger had the equivalent of an artillery battery jutting from it's turret, there was nothing that could even put a dent in it. But they didn't start making them until later in the war and they didn't produce enough.

Another book I read years ago "Russia at War" decribed that on the morning of the June 1941 invasion, German soldiers who were tasked to secure the rail lines recalled tanker trains of Russian oil headed into occupied Poland. It was also fact that the US sent a huge percentage of its scrap steel to Japan right up until Pearl Harbor.Bible_Belt said:Companies in Florida were very happy to sell phosphates to the Nazis long after the war had started, but the US had not joined. After the US joined the war, Congress eventually passed the Trading with the Enemy Act, which forbade such behavior, but before then it was open season. I have run across old newspaper articles from the late 1930's with headlines like Nazi's to Buy More Florida Phosphates! Those articles typically have a happy overtone, stating how great it was that Florida was getting business from the Nazis. It was good for the local economy.
Not an expert, but knowing what I know about the Depression I think most financiers in the "first world" were so anxious to make a buck they simply ignored politics. Back then there was a "world economy" as well, it was just held back by tariffs somewhat.
Funny, human nature is different when you're not sure where your next meal is coming from.
What is your problem? My post was spot on. All facts. Nobody could deny that Hitler helped the German economy. Nobody could deny that America was having serious issues in the 30's with its economy. You are reporting me for saying that? You are the Ultimate Troll!! Even guys who usually don't agree with me are agreeing with me on this one!Alle_Gory said:I never asked about America. Thanks for trolling, post reported.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
The sad fact is that everytime he speaks bad of something,there's some truth in that even if the fact is enlarged beyond the limit.
I think that asking for his ban would mostly lead to some loss to this board.
I'm surprised however to read people that I recall libertarians to cheer about censorship and ban*.
