"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

With all the rampant shoplifting and stores being forced to close, what are your thoughts?

My prediction is that stores like Walmart, Target, Costco will be forced to adopt an Amazon model and only allow shopping online.

It's insane how all these District Attornies aren't prosecuting shoplifting anymore.


 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I wouldn't be surprised if some corporations wanted to close some stores. Far cheaper to house merchandise in a warehouse and sell it online than staff and maintaina multiple large stores for customers.

I think you will see more closures, but I would be careful accepting the excuses they give for closing.

It's not all about theft.

In regards to the Amazon model of selling online out of warehouses and package delivery. I've always wondered how efficient that is and the impact on the environment.

I prefer to shop in stores. Also. in the SF Bay Area. porch pirates are far too common. And while many homes have gates, UPS. FedEx. Amazon delivery people usually won’t close the gate after delivery.
 

"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.

People would not steal if they could afford things.

The problem would be groceries and drugs. Let's say you order some groceries, let's say there's a huge backlog and you don't get your order for 4 days. For people with kids, this is a problem.

Also medications would be an issue. With the rampant theft in stores like CVS, having a backlog/disruption in medications could be life-threatening for some individuals.

It's far easier for the consumers just to drive out to their local CVS or grocery store and pick up what they need.

Amazon used to promise 1 day deliver, but now almost all my orders are 2 days. I don't mind because I'm not ordering food. But if I'm ordering food or meds, I need it now.


Why aren't District Attornies prosecuting theft? How did these District Attornies get into office?

And now delivery “gig economy” couriers are scamming folks too. Apple is using UberEats and Postmates drivers to courier thousands of dollars of equipment same day in large metro areas, the drivers never show up and say they’ve delivered the items. They just never show up for work again.

Stories all over the news. Not to mention porch pirates.

Saw something at a department store yesterday that made me do a double take. The guy walks up to a rack, grabs three or four pairs of pants and a couple of sweatshirts and then walks into an elevator (which you have to take to get out of the store). No only was he shoplifting but - get this - he was eating from a bag of take out food while doing so. Because who has time to simply steal sh!t nowadays? You've got to be able to multitask.
 

"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.

I can't stand the people who think shoplifting is civil disobedience or some sort of political statement. You're not a rebel. You're a fvcking thief. It just makes life harder for everyone else.

I’m a proponent of shall issue CCW laws, but we need to make sure people are trained, regularly. Like recertification every 2 years to CC, 25yard, Teuller drills, and cognitive. I don’t need stray 9mm slugs flying around my head.

"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.

You want the state of California to define "cognitive"?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
