I've been practicing card throwing and this ****'s actually pretty dangerous.

You could be like Bullseye from Daredevil if you practiced enough.

I actually cut someone yesterday and they were bleeding. If I threw it harder and hit somewhere else, like a jugular vein...
 

"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.

It's all in the wrist and getting good rotation. They will stick in styrofoam. A sheet of styrofoam insulation is an excellent target.

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
thats about the dumbest thing i've heard today. Thanks for the laugh. Maybe try like magic wands and spells next time. You can be like harry potter! Or try to spin webs like spiderman!

Seriously though, i wish i could be there when you try to throw a card at some angry dude who's going to then proceed to bash your face in. After he stops laughing of course.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

teehee, unless you actually HIT open skin, a 10 gram card ain't gonna do **** all to a person.

Why not use shurikens? Be a real deadly player. Jagged or sharp edges, even a sharpened card won't do much damage.

I'd love to see it do some damage though. Like breaking into somebody's house and throwing cards at them when they're in the shower.

Never said it wasn't possible... I was saying it's next to useless.

How much movement is required to perform these moves? It's not only a flick of the wrist, there is preperation in grabbing the card first. You can hurtle them what? 30 feet with accuracy in a room with no draft?

Highly possible, but also highly improbable.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Accuracy, was what I was talking about, not distance... I can whip my hand fast enough to throw an edged coin across a bball court into a wall. Well I could 9 years ago, imagine what my accuracy and speed could be now.

The coin was at least 5 times heavier than the card, so I absolutely believe your claim.

It is pretty cool that you have interests though. Just don't talk about being able to hurt people with em, that is what we're laughing at.

awwwlroighty than...

Do you know the physics behind your throws? Riding on air and gaining lift from the initial downward thrust from snapping your wrist is one of the key points of flicking a card... flicking a 1/8 lb metal disk that is larger and less malleable is going to cause difficulties... Try your windup tech. with those cards.

This is one of my hobbies. Too pratice your grips and throws use hotel keys, then 2 cards stapled together, finally a singel card. Also, it helps in throwing other stuff like notebooks, novels, etc. You become very smooth around the ladies when you are putting stuff away.
