"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.

Anyone got the website about teaching english in different countries around the world? It sounds interesting to say the least... Thanks in advance.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It sounds like it'll be the coolest thing...to be able to live in another country for a year and live the culture...i heard the pay is crap...but the experience should be unforgettable. Still i would like to do that after college...take a couple years of my life to experience living in a different part of the world, in a different culture while im still in my 20s.

You should also know that there's a stigma with teaching English overseas, and that's that the only people that do it are registered sex offenders, convicts, and perverts that just wanna go over there to get laid by their students...

Well the truth is there are a lot of trash that teach English here in Asia. I'd say its a good short term job but don't make a career out of it. Those guys who do are crackpots. Your pay is good compared to a local.. you can make the most money in Korea.. but there is some serious xenophobia and racism there.. Anyways making 30,000 a year there is like making 55,000 in the US.. You'll be ok financially and be able to kick it in Seoul on weekdays and mack bytches in tokyo on the weekend.

"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.

Yeah there would be...against YOU! If their paying top dollar to learn English...they want a blonde haired blue eyed person to do it. Since youre Chinese..they'd probably insult you by offering you the "local pay'.

Dave's ESL Cafe is a big site for this. The address is: http://www.eslcafe.com/

You'll hear a lot of differing opinions and people giving you negative and positive experiences and comments (this thread alone has that). I'd take everything with a grain of salt and do your own research and draw your own conclusions.

A lot of weeabos go to especially Japan in the hopes of landing such a job. Definitely worse than crackpots is the wannabes.

Teachers:

All the academics goto Japan, beginners & nutters goto china, ex-cons in Brazil, Gay Pedo's in Mexico (Mormons), and the fat feminazis to Korea.

Yotsuya-san: Don't forget the otaku, christ they are the worst.
Right on, fuzzx, about those otaku.:up: Most of the weeabos and wapanese are hardcore self-styled otaku. If only they knew that the average Japanese outgrows anime by the time they're in college. It will definitely be a wakeup call for them once they discover most of the Japanese students they teach have never heard of Bleach or Naruto.
 

"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.

Also, I remember hearing that they don't really look at anyone under 25 years old or so. It might be to avoid attracting too many anime nerds.
