"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.

The longest books I ever read were:

War and Peace 1,440 pages.

a modern translation of the Bible which was about 1200 pages.

Gone with the Wind 1,037 pages

Bill Clinton's Autobiography My Life 1,008 pages

and a biography on Eleanor Roosevelt that was about 900 pages.
 

"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.

I read the 5 current books of Game of Thrones earlier this year. All 5 equal around 5000-6000 pages I believe.

When I was in 4th grade, my book report was on The Shining. I creeped out the teacher, and gave the other little kids nightmares.
 

"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.

I've read almost all of the Bible. But honestly, it gets a little boring towards the end of the Old Testament, and I skimmed over those parts.

I'm surprised no one has said The Brothers Karamazov. I know it's a classic, but I tried it once a long time ago and just couldn't get into it.

I did too, but it took me over a year. Martin is a ponderous writer. Books 1 and 3 were awesome, but the rest, especially book 5, dragged ON and on....like enough already with the hundreds of useless names and characters. Advance the fvcking plot.
 

"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.

In my chump days I was trying to get a woman who had written this crappy book. Read it and fawned all over it and her with the compliments because she was extremely hot, total, utter POS book. No idea how many pages it was, but whenever I get arrogant tendencies, especially about women, I remind myself of that. That's a truly long book.

The second Jurassic Park was enormously different from the movie, because they had changed too much in the first movie. The Bourne Identity books are the same way, book is ten times better but since they changed so much in the first movie the second and third movies dont follow the books at all. IMHO the books written after the original author died are garbage.
