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.
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.

brand dont know about that but I applied to navy then marines.Which brand? I was ready to join the Navy, I had the physical aptitude and I graduated from engineering at that time, but I found an engineering job and I didn't.
I wonder sometimes what could've been if I would've joined. Do you wonder too?
was that due to typical politics?Or did you seduce his girl?I tried to be an army officer in college, but for some reason I always made senior officers furious. One day my colonel slammed me against a wall until I agreed to quit rotc. As he told me that he would make the rest of my life "a living hell," he punctuated each of those three words with another slam against the wall, then kept repeating. It was a very persuasive argument.
