“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Sure would be nice if I consistently had a positive outlook on life

I can remember being happy for the last time about 1 year ago. That was before we sold the last house. The money is running out.

I completed an internship of 6 months which gnawed at my soul. Got a passing grade although I must do paperwork with the school to make it official.

I'm running out of friends. Though I do have my brother and my mom.

I'm not happy at all right now. Think I might go visit a psychoanalyst (jungian). Though I do feel if I could move back to Grenada, the island I grew up in, where we still own a house which is falling apart and we are going to have to sell if nothing changes, that I would be happy again.

I simply need work experience before I can move back there though. I think I might go there for christmas or something. I have had it up to my nose with all of the crap that this civilization is giving me.

Need a break. Going to snap. Reading Marie-Louise von Franz. Went out 2 weeks ago and had my face literally smashed in. Had surgery. Now the proud owner of a titanium forehead.

Though I felt it was undeserved, in the grand scheme of things I was glad that there were people tending to me and caring for me in the hospital, as well as by my mom and brother.

Now I'm almost healed back up. My left eye doesn't quite function as well as it used to, though it will still get a bit better I'm sure.

Problems are 3-fold, I think.

1. Don't like what I'm studying. I'm doing Civil Engineering and will be done in 1 year. Sometimes I think about studying something else after I finish, since I like psychology, biology and science. I would like to mean something for civilization.

2. Not sure what the finances are looking like. Don't want to sell the house in Grenada. I want to live there though it will probably take a few years of work before I can do that. Might be able to sell it, but don't know how long that would take or if I would get the true value or it. Also, it's a true paradise where I know many people that I grew up with. A tight-knit community wherein people love each other and which I am a part of. That's not something I want to sell.

3. I have nobody to help me with the above two problems. My brother and mother spend money like crazy. Though my mom does help me emotionally. My brother just smokes for $50 a day in weed. That's $1500 a month. Would be nice if I had a father figure, a mentor, or somebody with life experience to help me and to guide me through this situation.

There are many possibilities. I have no clue what to do. Which way to go. It will be one year of studying something I'm not quite that enthused about. Though I am enthused about studyin, I'm not enthused about the idea of working in engineering.

*In the IDEAL situation*

I get the degree and build a new magnificent house somehow on the property in Grenada.

But problem is my brother and mom aren't bringin in any money. There's no welfare over there.

If it was just me myself, I would feel alright with the idea that I can study civil engineering I think, and rebuild the house there in Grenada with some money if I ever sell the Amsterdam place. Then I could live and work there while I keep the rest of the money in the bank.

Man...

Take enough time off until you figure out what you want to do in life. If it takes Grenada for a year or two to do it, so be it.
The last thing you want to be is another man half assed stumbling through life while hating his job…
This is your second running post bitching about engineering. Make some decisions and get your act together…

Don't do a job you hate just for the money. I did it for too long until I realized I was meant to be a programmer...its not worth it...it will eventually suck the life out of you.

However, you and only you have the ability to make yourself happy. Happiness is something intrinsic to an individual.

There's not even that much money in it.

Point is though I'm like 80% finished already and don't want to be 30 yrs old and have nothing to show for it. I wouldn't mind getting a second degree afterwards or possibly working in a different field afterwards.

From a childlike naive perspective I can spend another year working hard for a brighter future, I'm just becoming disenchanted with it. Moreover, I'm confused what kind of other possibilities there are considering my financial situation is collapsing in on itself.

Civilization needs roads, bridges, and clean water.
 

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

You need to have a fulfilling happy life without women and while your money isn't the greatest. Add things you enjoy. You happiness shouldn't be dependant upon hitting your long term goal because there will always be another. If you did what your supposed for the day, that's consider success.

Yes thank you. I am quite inclined to agree, but that's also quite a mechanical way of looking at life. It's what brought me into this.

"Went to the gym. Made some muscle gains. Can go home now. Tomorrow again"

What I really need is change. Peace and change. I might take up a new hobby or change gyms or something. That might help.

Maybe kickbox/jiu jitsu more. Maybe something artistic. Also maybe get a note-pad to write things down.

Every day has to have enjoyment. Feel happy and laugh too.
