This looks like a really long post. Before I start to read it, Is Str8up himself wealthy?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
STR8UP's Guide to getting Rich
- Thread starter Reyaj
- Start date
"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.
Along others like I, those who think generally on the same term, I have to ask you this - what exactly is wealth?Originally posted by Jayer

yeah but I read one of his posts somewhere and it said he was on his way to getting there. It made it sound like right now he had debt, but this year he would make money.
Do you know if he's made a million dollars yet for sure?

"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.

He stopped posting because he's too busy.
To become wealthy is actually very taxing on your social life.
I am not sure if he's "there" yet but I do know that the debt he has, is actually good debt. Unlike most people, Str8up doesn't seem like the kind of person to overspend and not keep a budget or doesn't know how to read a financial statement.
I once met the guy. At the time, he did have a place of residence in a high-demand, lofty part of town. And like people who actually do have money, compared to the countless who try to appear as though they have money, if you met him you’d never know it.

I'd love to meet him and talk with him one-on-one. Where is he from, anyway?Originally posted by Deep Dish

I’m not quite sure. From what was my impression of him and from what details about him I vaguely remember (I had met him two years ago), I would venture to guess Florida.Page

"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.
Hey Deep Dish, good to see you are still around.
So you want to know if I am wealthy....
What is wealth? To me it's undefinable, just like happiness.
Am I a millionaire? I own millions of dollars worth of real estate, but it isn't owned outright. Anyone who knows wealth knows that the only way to make your money grow quickly is to borrow to buy assets. If you can manage to borrow a million you can easily make a million.
Money (actually net worth, control of assets) is simply a tool that allows me to live the kind of life I want to live. I'm not trying to amass bajillions of dollars, all I care about is being able to live the life I want to live and not having to worry about money.
To me, wealth is not only measured in dollars or assets, but equally as important, time. All the money in the world wouldn't do a thing for me if I had to slave all year to get it. I am finally at the point where I only work a few hours per week, and I can pretty much travel when and where I wish. Although I didn't realize it until I was finally in that position, you just can't put a price on that kind of freedom.
If you don't read the whole thread, at least read the books I mentioned, since that is why I wrote it in the first place.
