"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Today I started studying sleeping in my psychology class and it got me thinking alot about sleep and how much time it takes up from our lives that could be used doing more productive things. We've always been told to get atleast 8 hours of sleep a night for optimum performance in our daily activities. However, I think there are ways that we can get much less sleep without the effects of loss of concentration and memory that we've all been taught will happen if we don't get enough sleep.
I am very jealous of people that can get a few hours a night and be fine. Donald Trump gets four hours of sleep a night and if you watched howard stern last night you heard Trump admit it. Napoleon used to get 5 hours of sleep, and used to say "six hours of sleep for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool." For me personally, if i get less than six im a total zombie and don't want to do anything but take a nap.
I just read some information on the Uberman sleep schedule, which requires 6 30 minutes naps spread out every four hours. While my job and going to school full-time prevent me from even attempting this, the manipulation of sleep cycles (REM) got me thinking that there HAS to be a way to be able to get a few hours of sleep per night and feel fine. Im not sure what Trump does, but whatever he does it works and works well.

If anyone has any further information on this I'd appreciate it because all my text book does is preach getting "enough" sleep.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I don't know. I can never really function 100% unless I get more than 7 hours of sleep a night. It kinda sucks.

I think being regular too helps. going to bed at the same time and getting up at the same time helps.

I do about 7 hours a night. And maybe an extra hour or two on the week-ends.

Hm.. I think it's all about getting used to it. I sleep or I used to sleep about 4-5 hours a day. They say it'll affect your life big time. I still sleep about 6 hours and I'm 41. Maybe I'll die when I'm 45. But hey, I feel healthy! :D

The secret is... get used to it. You're lazy.

I just realized, a lot of successful people are almost always the guys that go against the extreme.

I just asked my son "is it ok to sleep for only 4 or so hours?"

My son's response? A big wide eye and ".. dad... what do you do when we're all sleeping?"
 

"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.

Why would you want to limit your sleep? My idea of a success is someone who can sleep 8-10 hours per night without worrying about it. Why does Trump only sleep 4 hours when there's absolutely no reason for him to work at all? Oh, that's right, he's caught up in the matrix.

Do not cut into your sleep time. It is uber-valuable.
