Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Does anyone know any respectable 2nd jobs for college graduates? The reason I ask is that I work from my house and it gets rather boring. I could also use a little extra money, but that's not my main motivation. I just want a job that's fairly sociable and easy, but you don't feel like a HS or college kid working there. I'd like to work with somewhat educated people in their 20s and be able to meet people.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Well you can always be a vendor rep in retail stores. While stores like Best Buy and Circuit City often hire 16 and up, individual vendors hire store Reps who are college students and some graduates. In fact you have to be 18 sometimes 21 and over to qualify for a position with many of these companies.

Vendor Retail Rep jobs like for Epson (Mosaic Sales), SBC Yahoo DSL (Mosaic Sales), HP (MarketSource LLC), or Lexmark (not sure the marketing company in charge) pay between $14-$17 an hour and are usually only weekends (Friday sometimes, but usually Sat & Sunday) for about 10-15 hours per weekend.

So its good money for what you do, not a lot of work, and you get to visit all kinds of stores (usually Reps get assigned to different stores all the time, so you meet and get to know the managers of many retail stores) which usually helps you build connections and get hooked up with awesome deals.


Here are some links to the companies that run these programs:

That looks interesting, Joe. Have you done this before? I don't understand what a vendor rep actually does...what is involved here?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
