"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Something that I've been thinking about a lot lately....

Is it possible to be focused on your goals, yet still have fun?

Is it possible to kick back and have fun, yet still be focused on your goals?

I'm having trouble with this....during times I'm focused on goals, I'm more serious and don't party or drink as much. Yet during times when I 'let my hair' down and enjoy myself, I feel a bit 'guilty' for not being focused on my goals.

Surely there has to be some kind of 'middle ground' here?

Can anybody shed any light about how to focus on your goals, yet still remember to have fun in life, without one compromising the other?
 

"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.

It really helps if your goals bring some type of enjoyment to your life. I don't understand why so many people believe that setting goals is a chore and overall not fun. How a person perceives their goals is as personal as the goals themselves. They have the choice to either enjoy the process or dread it.

Balance is important.

However, time is finite for all of us.

The time you spend doing one thing CANNOT be used to do something else.

ie. 24 hours in a day.

I block off the time for classes, time to sleep, and time for meals. Whatever is left I can devote to studying, or partying. One OR the other. It's up to you what you do with that time, but you do not have the time to do both and both equally well. That is impossible. You may however, do both and do both mediocrely well...but if you want to excel in one area, the simple answer is to put in more time.
