Just wondering
"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.

You should always look for median, not average
If there are 2 of us, and I have $1 net worth and you have 1 million $
Average would be around 1 mil., right ?
median net worth for ppl in 25 yrs old range is around $15.000
Hope this helps / Alex

"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 experience
For a typical university educated man, he will reach his 25th birthday basically broke. However, at this point, he will also be just past the initial provisioning phase of life, and at a great opportunity to sock away some serious cash in his 401K or IRA.
I myself have went from being broke at that age to 18 years later having retirement assets of $200K (measured at the last peak of the stock market.) It's a cliche, but the thing to do is to "pay yourself" first.

At 25 it will be quite low. Hell, in North America these days its quite low for most people at any age, most people don't really have anything except the very quickly dropping home equity, and even then they probably owe a lot on the house.
At 25.. if you didn't get an education, you've got a few years of work under your belt, but your pay most likely sucks so you're just about broke. If you went to college, you've probably recently started working with good pay, but you haven't had much time to build anything up and probably still owe college loans.
If I was to estimate, I'd say between 10-20k.
BTW that NetworthIQ site is complete bs.. unless you believe people in Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky and Georgia are generally worth much more than people in the North East or California and farmers and factory workers are worth more than lawyers. If that's the case than middle class America needs to STFU.

Really depends on where you live. In this country, you dont reach 25 in a sea of debt, and if you graduated from University and you're decent, you're pretty much set.
Believe it or not. Only in Colombia.
In this country, an educated person in his 25's is probably worth over 100k.However, an uneducated man that cant work over 11 or 12 hours in his 25's is worth nothing and that's what we call false positives ( They are executed extrajudicially, or they end up as covers for a failed military operation or they end up doing nothing, they're worth almost nothing after all.)

"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.

Definitely. Most likely paying off; student loans, car loans and credit cards. Maybe child support if he's extra stupid.kabatura said:
