"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.

Venezuela food shortages cause some to hunt dogs, cats, pigeons

"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.

Venezuela's new decree: Forced farm work for citizens
A natural endpoint to democratic socialism. Politicians need to keep printing money to fulfill political problems. Hyperinflation ensues. People stop working because the money they are paid ain't worth squat, and no business can stay profitable in a hyperinflation situation.

So the government has to turn all the citizens into slaves to keep producing enough food to feed people. They'd let them starve, but what's the point of being president of a country filled with dead people?

Meanwhile, the people are starving and the leaders are eating a $100,000 cake.

Let Them Eat Cake

 

"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.

There's an interesting equalizing factor in ammonium nitrate, which is used to grow corn...or mixed with diesel fuel to do what McVeigh did in Oklahoma city. The governing power can shut off the ammonium nitrate supply, but then the people starve. So in order to give America the fertilizer to feed itself, whatever government there is also has to allow its people to posses a huge quantity of explosives. Piss those people off too much and things start to go boom.

Not when government soldiers come and take it from you...
No sh*t. See South Africa. Living on a farm makes you a target there, for government-backed thugs.

government-backed thugs.

There's not going to be any government left to back anyone, though, that's the point.

There's a lot of FEMA camp conspiracies that they have a plan to imprison everyone. It's only a prison when you're not allowed to leave. If you're there because it is the only place you can get fed and have a chance to live, then it's a "refugee camp." It reminds me of Joe Arpaio's tent city prisons outside of Phoenix. A friend of mine was in one. There are no fences. If you want to walk out in the desert and die, you are more than welcome to do so.
 

"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.

How about this "Devil's Advocate" type question:

The strength of the dollar is largely because of the petrodollar agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. If that agreement falls apart, nobody needs to hold dollars any more, because the Saudis will take currency other than dollars. If THAT happens, the dollar will weaken significantly, which will unleash SEVERE inflation and a likely increase in interest rates, making U.S gov unable to pay interest on their debt.

This may cause an economic catastrophe (decades long, people STARVING, rioting from lack of Foodstamps) from which the U.S. MAY NOT RECOVER. Few people understand this. (the importance of the petrodollar, U.S.<->Saudi relationships on the dollar strength).

This "reset" that people agree we NEED may be take LONGER THAN OUR LIFESPANS.

Hillary is FRIENDS with the Saudis.

Trump is NOT.

Would you vote for Hillary for the sole reason of keeping the dollar system from collapsing?

Would you vote for Trump knowing he may inadvertently trigger a MULTI-GENERATIONAL reset? Causing massive pain, death, starvation and a SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION in the quality of our lives?
America would invade Saudi Arabia and the Saudis know it. The current price of oil isn't to their liking, as they need above $80 to cover costs.
But America wants Russia out of Syria and has chosen to destabilise it's economy with cheap Saudi oil. So Saudi Arabia has to live with those losses.

U.S. targets Venezuela vice president for sanctions

The U.S. government plans to designate Venezuelan Executive Vice President Tareck El Aissami for sanctions under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act for playing a significant role in narcotics trafficking, U.S. sources said on Monday.

An El Aissami associate, named as Samark Jose Lopez Bello was also designated for providing material assistance, financial support or goods or services in support of El Aissami's activities, the sources said.

The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control will also target 13 companies owned or controlled by Lopez Bello or other parties that comprise an international network spanning the British Virgin Islands, Panama, Britain, the United States and Venezuela.

As a result of those actions, Americans are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions or otherwise dealing with individuals and entities, and any assets they have under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen.

Thirty-four Republican and Democratic members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Feb. 8 asking his administration to take administration action to sanction Venezuelan officials.

Their letter referred to El Aissami, noting that his recent appointment as executive vice president put him in line to become Venezuela's next leader. That, they said, "is extremely troubling given his alleged ties to drug trafficking and terrorist organizations."

The Venezuelan Weight Loss Plan

Coming soon to a socialist city near you...

Study: Venezuelans lost 19 lbs. on average over past year due to lack of food

In a new sign that Venezuela’s financial crisis is morphing dangerously into a humanitarian one, a new nationwide survey shows that in the past year nearly 75 percent of the population lost an average of 19 pounds for lack of food.

The extreme poor said they dropped even more weight than that.

The 2016 Living Conditions Survey (Encovi, for its name in Spanish), conducted among 6,500 families, also found that as many as 32.5 percent eat only once or twice a day — the figure was 11.3 just a year ago.

In all, 82 percent of the nation's households live in poverty, the study found.

VENEZUELANS KILLING FLAMINGOS AND ANTEATERS TO STAVE OFF HUNGER

Venezuelans suffer shortages of the most basic goods, from food to medicine, amid triple-digit inflation and a nearly 80 percent currency collapse in the last year.
 

"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.

Ahhh , Venezuela , such a rich country. Fossil fuels, great beaches,jungles,very fertile lands,great weather, a great strategic place............ and socialism.Venezuela is where entitlement nations end up. If you're a Bernie Sanders follower or a Hillary Clinton supporter, remember what you're seeing regarding Venezuela. And libertards are not even smart enough to see Socialism and eventually Communism never have worked and never will work. You will always run out of other peoples money.


Venezuela is the Democrats' Vision for America.
 

"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.
