"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.

What brand was your first computer?

"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.

My family's first computer was almost a Packard Bell but we ended up buying from some local builder.

4 MB of RAM was standard but we paid the extra $160 to get 8 MB. Yes, RAM cost $40 per megabyte.

Thats $40,000 per gigabyte. WOW!

First computer I had regular access to was a terminal on a DEC mainframe.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

First one I ever had was a custom built from a local computer store.
First one in the US was a Dell, and it will be my last Dell as well.

Yup. this computer ran off huge 5 and a quarter disks. was pretty young when I had it.

The c64 costs $100 and that giant disk drive was $200, but you had to have it if you wanted to play more than the crappy cartridge games. And you could cut a V-shaped notch out of the side of the disk if you wanted to use both sides.

The Trash 80! When I was in elementary school, they would pull the smart kids out of class and let them play games on the Trash 80. They called this program "gifted." You had to be gifted to see what the hell was supposed to be going on in those games, which had graphics of about 4 pixels per square inch and involved maneuvering little rectangles around the screen while using a lot of imagination.

Got a VIC-20 when i was 5, within a year we bought a c64. Upgraded a few years later to a commodore 128. a year later an XT, then a 80386sx16, DX25 then a BIG jump to a 80486DX66, Pentium 100, p133, p166, p200, p450, p667, p2 700, p3 1000, p4 1.6, p4 2.8, p4 3.02, p4 3.6, then it gets a little hazy cause i started going through computers like crazy, lotsa upgrading.

now I'm trying to be more social, so I have a quad core 3ghz I havent even plugged in after painting my room 4 months ago, and a dell mini9 I just use to surf a bit here and there.

It was called a Delta Gold. It wasn't even an Apple IIc, but an Apple IIc compatible that my mom ordered off home shopping channel. We ended up sending it back for some reason. God, things have come a long way.

White box of some kind. It had a Pentium 486 with a turbo button that didn't do anything and DOS with Windows 3.1 on top. It was awesome.

200 mhz mmx technology or whatever it was. Don't remember the brand.

The 2nd computer I had which was a hewlett packard it lasted me for almost 10 years. I highly recommend HP they put out quality stuff. Then I got a dell which still works but it has crashed a bunch of times I don't think my HP ever did.
 

"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.

Commodore 64, 5 1/4 Floppy drive, and a 300 baud westinghouse modem connected to quantum link. I was "online" as early as 1983 :) Quantumlink was essentially a bulletin board though.

Your computer is overloaded for some reason. Start up shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. You can solve this by putting XP or Windows 2000 on it and turning off the memory draining services and applications. The less your computer has to do the faster it is.
