"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

ive known this chick for atleast 6 months or so. 2 months ago me and her went to vegas. before vegas we really didnt know each other that well. we knew each other from the bar she worked at. I would tip her standard. so on the way to vegas she says youre not a good tipper etc.(in my head i was like f u i aint giving a big tip for no reason).

last night we are out and my roomate says you are frugal (cheap). that girl is like yea you are frugal. So i said to her you cant say that cause you saw me in vegas. I tipped the dealers easily aroud 400-500 dollars. she still insisted on saying i was cheap. I think her and my roomate think im cheap because i got expensive sh1t and i dont throw money there way a pay for sh1t. i think if i didnt have a nice car and other nice things they wouldnt be saying that. so i guess im not cheap with myself but with others.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Man this is so true. If there's one thing I hate it's people telling me what I should be doing with my money. If you earn it, only you should decide how you're going to spend it. This get on my nerves so much, I can't think of anything now that bothers me more.

I think a person should be considered cheap if they don't pitch in on things and freeload off people. There no is reason to be throwing money around for no obvious reason.

They are just trying to punk youinto buying crap for them. Be a man and stand up. Don't justify yourself to them.
 

"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.

Yeah screw them man, you're not required to blow money on things if you don't want to. As long as you're not freeloading off of them, its none of their business.

Slightly off topic, the whole tipping etiquette in North America is out of control.

In most of the world tipping is either not required, or if you do, 5 percent maybe, 10% if service was amazing.

Here we think 15 is the ABSOLUTE minimum (even for jobs that shouldn't get a tip at all in my opinion) and lots of people will leave way more than that.

Don't give me bs about how those people need tips because the pay is ****, I have friends that make enough money for the week in 2 nights from tips, it's stupid.

People should take the base pay the job offers - don't like it, find a better one. IF, IF they do a very good job, they deserve a little extra. The all but obligatory tipping we have serves no purpose except to get more money out of people, and to give them a chance to look generous.

I still tip 10-15% unless service was really bad when I go out, but I don't feel the need to add a $20 on top of a $40 total just to look like the big man.
