Practical choicewill likely will go Honda.
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.

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Man, this Charger looks and feels so good to drive tho. I’m probably gonna cry when I have to return itPractical choice
You could get an impractical car that is fun. I don't think the Charger is best for that.Man, this Charger looks and feels so good to drive tho. I’m probably gonna cry when I have to return it![]()
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.
Kia is koreanI drove a pretty nice 2023 Kia K5 rental car in Florida. Formerly known as the Optima. Comfortable and had lots of features my 21-year-old tank of an SUV does not.
Plug in hybrids are fantastic. Best of both worlds. Fast and great fuel efficiency. I would not get one out of warranty though unless you in a CARB state. (These states require manufacturer to warranty all zero emission car components for 15 years or 150,000 miles)In the market for a hybrid, thoughts on the 2015 BMW I8?
I know, I know, being a Pinoy that is unacceptable of me. But I enjoyed it. It was a good change from my old Honda SUV. It alerted me a few times that the car in front of me drove off, when I was sitting at stoplights not paying any attentionKia is korean
That's way coolI know, I know, being a Pinoy that is unacceptable of me. But I enjoyed it. It was a good change from my old Honda SUV. It alerted me a few times that the car in front of me drove off, when I was sitting at stoplights not paying any attention![]()
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.
DAVE: Open the pod bay doors, Hal. HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.That's way cool
Well I have three cars. Altima daily driver. Ford F-150 truck and an Acura cls sport for fun. Why do I have three cars? Because I want them and I can.The only reason to have two or more cars is if they are necessary for business purposes. (I.e. work truck, business vehicle owned by the business, etc). There is just no need for a guy with a job to have two cars.
It's a great idea until you end up in the hospital and have thousands of dollars in medical bills.You know, I’ve been putting some thought into it: having a motorcycle as a second means of transportation wouldn’t be too bad.
And it’s badass lol
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.
That seems like a 'fair' price. Make sure to look over the car thoroughly and if you can ask the guy for service history (or get your mechanic to give it a once over if he's cool with that.) It blows my mind a car with over 150k miles on it is 7k, but that's the world we live in now. All the cars i've owned have been bought from private sellers, can't stand dealerships and can find a better deal if you know how to find em.I’m currently talking to a person that I went to band camp with back in the day. Will meet him to look at a car: I’m very likely to buy a 2014 Toyota Corolla LE for $6700. 167K miles.

Luckily, he already gave me the service history!That seems like a 'fair' price.

She looks good. Make sure to look at common probs for that model so you know what to look for during the inspection
Here’s what she be looking like tho
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.
