"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.
What is your thought on Cindy Sheehan?

"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.

"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.

She made a point to speak with Bush then said I guess it is OK that I don't speak with him. If you want something, stick to your guns.

ofcorse they are gona send you to the front line if they need you. that's what millitary is, you know, killing and such. I'm sorry she lost her son but, she needs to quit wining.

Thats my thoughts exactly. Her son was an adult, he made the voluntary decision to join the military which entails you might have to go to combat and you could die anytime. Nobody forced him to do it. You can't whine in such a situation as much as I feel bad for her that her son died. He voluntarily joined knowing the risks and rewards.Originally posted by spider_007
you sign up for military, what do you expect- a picnick.

And, why is she front page news, day after day after day?
"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.

She wanted to talk to Bush about was Casey's life worth it in light of these developments she learned since her first visit.

If that's true then why did he re-enlist?? That would indicate to me that he believed in the cause. In fact, he voluntarily chose to go on the fatal rescue mission which took his life.
I think her son was a very brave man. I think she is quite nuts. A very bad representation of the anti-war movement.

Regardless, she already met with Bush, but you wouldn't know it from media reports.
And why does she get so much press?
There are Mother's out there who lost their son's who support the war, yet they don't get any air time or ink like Sheehan does.
And what about the Downing Street Memo's?
The so-called Smoking Gun turned out to be a big bunch of nothing.

"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.

Who cares if the President's ratings slightly dip because of her? Bush is and still will be President. I'm not a democrat or a Republican, and I don't take sides because I am very conservative in some respects and open-minded/liberal in others. Chris Rock has a great quote about this, but I forget what he said...
...anyway, didn't her husband divorce her? Don't her other children refuse to visit her anymore, and disapprove of her recent actions? Seriously, what is the point of this charade? What is she trying to accomplish...okay, Bush apologizing to her son? So what, he'll still be 6ft deep.
Her son was an adult, and even if he died for a cause that she (or even if he) didn't believe in, he enlisted knowing he could die. I support the troops 100% and it was unfortunate that he died, but death is a reality in war...and there are so many other mothers that do not make the front page news for losing their sons...there are so many others affected by this war...(I personally know a few)
What's more unfortunate than her son's death is that she is still dragging this on and on...just let him rest in peace. She's basically saying her son died for something he didn't believe in...how wrong is that? Seriously, let it rest, and allow others to believe he died for freedom (at least have some respect for your own son...imo, she's a bit selfish)
