"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

The United States: Default or Hyperinflation?

It will be inflation. Straight default is the honest thing to do, but since when has any politician been honest. Inflation is the sneaky stealth way to raise taxes and redeem debts without having to be blunt about what you're doing. They can even use the illusion of rising asset prices to claim that the economy is recovering. But meanwhile, standards of living don't lie, and standards of living is declining, particularly for males.

The thing I find interesting is the phenomenon that, under the fractional reserve currency banking system we use, money is born into existence bearing interest from the very first minute. The implication of this seems to be to me that, if you got together aaaalllll the money in the world, collected it all up into a pile, and then tried to pay off all the outstanding debt in the world, there wouldn't be enough. i.e. there's more debt in the world than there is money to pay it off.

So, that means that the necessity for bankruptcy is built into the system, its hard-coded, there can be no other way within the bounds of the current system, except for bankruptcies to occur.

HOWEVER, what has happened is, each time a bankruptcy has been about to occur, the politicians have all got together and prevented it from happening! The only one time they let it happen was Lehman Brothers, and now they think that it was a mistake to let Lehman Brothers go bankrupt! But how stupid can they be? It wasn't a mistake to let Lehman Bros go bankrupt, it was a mistake to prevent all the previous (and subsequent) bankruptcies in the first place.

Because the necessity for bankruptcy is built into the system, its an inherent property of the fractional reserve banking system. So by bailing out companies and preventing bankruptcies from occurring, all they've done is delayed the Day of Reckoning, and made it so that when they finally DO have to pay the piper, it will be all the more devastating and destructive.

Because all they really did is transfer the bad debts from private balance sheets (i.e. the banks) onto public balance sheets (i.e. the State), because they thought "oh, we can't let the banks fail", except now, who's going to fail? The entire fvcking State!

But its an obvious flaw in the system, Someone has to go bankrupt! I can't believe they didn't see it! Are politicians really so stupid?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Free Trade exposure to a non-free Communist economy like China is a slap to the face of capitalism.

High standard of living is incompatible when trading with people on a "level playing field" with horrible standard of living.

Yep.

I love when they say that the $30/hr (or ~$240/day) American worker has to "step his game up" to compete with the $2 per day guy overseas.

I will try to complete 120 times the work I currently do, but it's gonna be challenging lol. I'm gonna skip lunch.

Yeah, that is the perversion of current Free Trade agreements.

Free Trade is great with economies of similar/comparable standard of living and wages.

I am for discriminatory trade. Free Trade with places like Northern/Western Europe, Canada, Australia, USA, Japan, etc.

Selective trade agreements, and domestic market-adjusted trade barriers with nations that have relatively low standard of living.

The way market equilibrium works in free trade, is in theory eventually both parties have equal standard of living/wages once perfect competition is achieved.

But trade with a poor nation that has crap standard of living and wages, just drags down those two aspects of the nation with better standards.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm still looking
I'd rather not. I was uncomfortable with the idea that Puerto Rico wanted(wants?) to be amended as a state, a month or so back. The drug cartels are embedded in the Mexican way of life, I don't envision them going away any time soon and any U.S intervention (god forbid) will be dragged out and a bureaucratic mess. No thanks, personally.

unfortunately the plan to impoverish the working middle classes was deliberate...the point is to drag down wages

the standard of living was meant to be eroded

the middle class was the last barrier to total domination to the bankers/government/corporate cartels....and now they are gone.

the new world will be feudal....super rich and super poor with nothing in between.....

that was the plan all along

how about instead, we throw back the 20 MILLION that are here illegally, got here via a pregnant, illegal mother, or got to stay here by a pussified "amnesty" program. Presto, 10 million jobs for REAL americans and about a trillion $ less strain on our criminal and welfare system.

It would be easy. Just EVERY tv station, 24-7, for a week or so, show NOTHING but guys being HORSEWHIPPED for hiring illegals! :) No jobs, they'd go home. Any of them caught here 30 days later, tattoo "ILLEGAL' on their foreheads, in BIG letters, break both their knees with a hammer, and toss them back into their country of origin, NOT just Mexico, either. SEE if any of them want to stay here THEN. this is what ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WOULD DO, if they were being invaded by 1 million illegals each year!

and DONT give me this bs about how they take only jobs that US men don't want. I worked beside them EVERY DAY for many years! They have taken contruction jobs, truck driving, etc, and they make the SAME $14 an hour as the rest of the US citizens in those sorts of jobs.

If they did that, then nobody would vote for the politicians giving away free phones.

That's the crux of the issue. Democracy is inherently unstable. Politicians need to promise SOMETHING to stay in power. Sure they start off by promising a freedom to PURSUE HAPPINESS but all it takes a few doucebags that promise to GIVE PEOPLE HAPPINESS and it's all over.

Then politicians begin to try and outdo each other with their promises of free stuff.

All the micro-arguments (NAFTA, Fractional Reserve Lending, Immigration) are really minor issues compared to the inherent instability of a democratic society.

Democracy will ALWAYS fail, eventually.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
