She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.

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.
The new deal was before world war 2 dumbass, and gave the working class some level of dignity and position for maybe the first time in our countrys history, as well as making huge steps against financial fraud and abuse that caused the depression. GI Bill also an enormously successful program.Poonani Maker said:Of course, a PROFESSOR. Professors wanna rule the world. The WWII Generation (The WEAKEST Generation, not the "greatest") came home from war, took the G.I. Bill, went to college, obeyed all professors with their silly little Ideas, implemented them (The New Deal, etc etc), and now we have what we have now today
You missed the point, I could've said LBJ's "Great Society." Common Sense is not so common. You obviously have none of it.jurry said:The new deal was before world war 2 dumbass, and gave the working class some level of dignity and position for maybe the first time in our countrys history, as well as making huge steps against financial fraud and abuse that caused the depression.

Might want to learn a bit before spouting off that "education is nothing" line.
Of course, a PROFESSOR. Professors wanna rule the world. The WWII Generation (The WEAKEST Generation, not the "greatest") came home from war, took the G.I. Bill, went to college, obeyed all professors with their silly little Ideas, implemented them (The New Deal, etc etc), and now we have what we have now today.
Professors are what ruined this country, and are destroying the world. They are in Dresses (Robes), just like the Priests from Egypt, The Middle East, Aztecs, Catholics, Bishops, Judges, all wearin silly little Dresses. They want an anthill society of complete stagnation so they can continue to get their paychecks.
No! Western Man wore pants! and shirts starting out at Mount Ararat (or the Black Sea) and westwardly Moving and exploring, conquering, building to where we are today. They want us to forget our history. They would NEVER (re-)publish authors from pre-1960s that don't fall in line with their political correct "History." They want to wipe out our memories of our history/ancestry. They control ALL of our universities, educational systems. You don't get your PhD unless you write what the academic journal "Guilds" want you to write. So you aren't THINKING really, just writing what they want you to write, so you can get published, so you can get TENURE (impossible to fired/get bennies for life). Tenure, in a good university, is VERY hard to get and PhDs are a dime a dozen, something like 60,000 a year. Education means NOTHING. Many things your parents told you were EVERYTHING are NOTHING.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
An insect is smarter than a college professor. The difference between the EverReady Man and an insect is that if an EverReady Man hits a chair leg, it just keeps going and going and going…PeasantPlayer said:I agree with this, so sad to see people trying to hold their status quo in different sectors of education, science and politics
