"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The Amy Robach - TJ Holmes High Profile Workplace Affair

So many juicy angles here....

To start, if you haven't read the article, Robach and Holmes are co-anchors of morning TV show, "Good Morning America". Robach is 49. Holmes is 45. They are now out in the open.

Robach and Holmes were both on their 2nd marriages. This affair that they've been having was a contributing factor to the failures of their 2nd marriages, both of which failed within the last 6 months. Some articles have questioned the timing of when the sexual relationship started, but it seems likely that they were having sex prior to separating from their respective 2nd spouses.

Robach had 2 kids in her 1st marriage. Her 2nd marriage was to a guy with 3 kids from his first marriage (Andrew Shue, former college soccer player and actor on a prominent 1990s TV show). Between the 5 kids, I'm sure it was a messy blended family. Robach's 2nd marriage went from ages 37-49 and involved no kids.

Holmes had 2 kids in his first marriage, and 1 in his 2nd marriage.

The person who comes out of this affair looking the worst is Andrew Shue. His wife cheated on him, so he's a beta cuck. The character he played on the 1990s TV show "Melrose Place" was a big time beta male, so life imitates art. Shue has done almost no acting since he left "Melrose Place" in 1998 and has had a business career of middling success since then. My sense is that Robach was with him because she was fan girling him from his "Melrose Place" years and eventually grew tired of his lack of success in either showbusiness or corporate business in the last 2 decades. Meanwhile, Robach's media career has grown from local TV, to NBC News in 2007 (she got with Shue during the NBC News years), to a bigger role at ABC News in 2012. Her career has progressed in the last 15 years. At least Shue wasn't hopelessly beta as he didn't stay in a relationship with an adulterous woman, though I think Robach's actions made it perfectly clear that the relationship wasn't salvageable. She likely had no desire to stay.

Robach shows the lack of a Wall. Here's a 49 year old woman who had breast cancer in 2013, got a double mastectomy (looks like she got small implant replacements), has 2 kids, and had medically induced early menopause. She left her husband who was with her through all that and for a man 4 years younger than her and 10 years younger than Shue. This is another sign The Wall is a cope.

Holmes' wife will probably be able to move on from this easily, even as a lawyer, careerist single mom.

It is doubtful that Holmes and Robach will last more than a couple of years. It's probably best that they don't ever marry given their track records in marriage.

"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.

Sometimes you simply find someone you are more compatible with. Not sure why people think that just because you marry a person doesn't mean at some point you won't find someone that you are more compatible with down the line.


Marrying someone is supposed to be wait to find a person that is super awesome but too often is just find someone "good enough" for now. That's why marriages fail most times. For no reason other than the two people weren't super compatible, just were the best they could find at that point in their life when they were probably being pressured by their friends and family to get married and have kids.

That's not a person you marry. That's someone you date and then walk away from to find something better for yourself. Divorce rates are high because too many people settle for what they don't want, then regret it later once they find someone better suited for them.

Obviously when they work together over a long period of time closely like they have been, it accelerates that.

T.J. has allegedly been doing this with multiple women at work.

Look, I’m sympathetic to guys in this situation. You didn’t get enough growing up, now you made it and every woman at work wants to sleep with you. But dammit stop doing it at work!!

Women who work on air at television stations also tend to be physically attractive.
 

"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.

I work in a large white collar firm. A lot of women in corporate America go there to either find a husband or sleep their way up. There are baddies in every office. They work out. They wear makeup and heels. Their clothes are too tight. They also target married men.

In my experience, I have found that white collar working environments are sexually sterile. Nothing in your sentences above has happened in my workplaces.
