"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.

Didn't see any posts on here about this, what do you guys think about this situation? I say the entire leadership needs to step down, the entire situation is just grossly irresponsible.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Agreed. No excuse to allow something of this magnitude to occur. Some jobs have room for error but care of a city's water supply would not be one of them.

This reminds me of the Gulf oil spill. Everyone is angry and looking to blame someone, but there is really no one to blame. It is simply a huge accident. They'll learn from it, and that mistake won't be made again, just as in the deep water drilling.

It's absolutely disgusting and annoying. Everyone from the governor to the city officials have a share of the blame to take. If this were to happen in a more affluent city, heads would roll.
 

"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.

Detroit as an entirety is a disgrace. Something has to be done. A city can't be THAT bad forever can it?

The movie was about the true case of erin brockivach. She sued and won. Now she's a huge advocate for others. Look her up on social media. She broke this flint mi story almost a year ago. Why didn't anyone listen?
