Is it that big of a deal? Is it just a media beat up? Are the Republicans really a big bunch of arseholes like the media wants you to believe?
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
Bible_Belt said:The current estate tax is 35% of estates over five million.
After the cliff, it is set to become 50% of estates over one million. A million bucks sounds like a lot, but due to land values it includes just about every small farmer in the country. My uncle left his house in my grandfather's name, because he was afraid of getting divorced and losing it. But if grandma and grandpa were to die after January 1st, he would get an estate tax bill for half the value of his own house, plus half the value of everything he inherited. Everyone in my family will have to immediately sell everything they inherit just to pay the tax bill.
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.
Its a fake fiscal cliff .. There won't be one, Bernanke has already the solution as said above. Digital printing press, direct to large international financial institutions.vantagepoint said:Hey we need something to talk about. Why not the fiscal cliff.
