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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Hey mate,Celadus said:Gaucho,
You like IB? What is their software like? All securities (futures, stocks, currency...worldwide) in one program? Do they charge a monthly fee for software? (aside from exchange fees)
Na, I normally trade the QM, but then again, RARELY will buy the underlying itself, normally stick with the equities. That being said, I use the ASX and WPL as the US does not have many oil producers per se, more simply oil services. I also check whether the stock moves in correlation with the underlying, as some do not.Wiesman44 said:Gaucho.....do u normally trade CL ? Thats quite a bit of contracts to buy and hold overnight on CL. How the hell do u sleep at night carrying almost a half a million worth of crude ?
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.
Inversely that is. Holding support nicely (unfortunately) at the moment.Gaucho said:Oil doing well, and the indices seem to have correlated themselves to this, so all the better, for now............
I'm doing great ! Every single day I learn a little more and am more prepared to trade the curveballs the market gives me.Gaucho said:How is the trading going Wise?
Been good to me lately, found a few runners!
A short on SMG has been fantastic! Check out GW, looks like it may be ready to breakout again soon! Got in just before it's recent breakout and have a buy order for a second portion set at 9.49. See how we go.
