"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Think it's possible to 'take over' a 3rd world country

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Yes both in a military sense and like China is doing in Africa. But the former is costly and doesn't usually last whereas the latter is basically 21st century imperialism.

Right, thats totally true. But I wonder if an outsider could become president by democratic means. Probably not, if never seen anyone do it.

Yes. Just buy up their mines and oil reserves, then persuade them to build the infrastructure to support your industries.

Oh, someone already mentioned Chafrica:whistle:

You guys are like in pre school.


Look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Bosnia, Ukraine. Do I need to name more? Because there are more. There are just a very few 3rd world countries that are not controlled, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba. The rest are controlled by either United States, United Kingdom, China, or Russia.


Easiest way to control a country is to gift it with freedom and lend it money. United States is the leader in this type of control. If they don't take money though, then they go after weapons of mass destruction. :)


This is a good book to read: http://sandiego.indymedia.org/media/2006/10/119973.pdf
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
