"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.

The south was no longer part of the Union, therefore it had no right to Fort Sumter as it was the property of the United States of America, not the Confederate States of America. For example, for American soldiers in the south to join the Confederate army they had to surrender to the Confederacy and then enlist in the Confederate army.

And read Alexander Stephens's Cornerstone Speech...it is quoted above. Alexander Stephens was the Vice President of the Confederacy and he states himself that slavery was the main reason for secession.

The South adopted the "Lost Cause" mentality after the war which a lot of people still adhere to today. Basically, the South tried to justify their reason for secession to not appear like they were the aggressor. Namely, they changed their reason for secession to economic problems with the North to save face. By doing so, they tried to support a moral image of the South. In the end though, it was all a facade.

Alexander Stephens is a perfect example of the "Lost Cause." After the war he changed his stance on what caused secession. And if you read his cornerstone speech, he said plain and clearly the reason was slavery. After the war he changed the reason to economic sanctions.

It was all a ploy to make the South look good after defeat. It is all a lie.
 

"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.

Alexander Stephens doesn't speak for the Confederacy.

"The south was no longer part of the Union, therefore it had no right to Fort Sumter as it was the property of the United States of America"

That doesn't explain the fact that the North's basic premise was wrong, which was that the Southern states had no right to secede from the US, when in fact they did.

"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.
