"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

What would your boss do if you lost $7 Billion?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Its a slipperly slope, once you lose on a big trade ($1M) and you learn how to hide it. Next thing you know your hiding $10M, then $1B, then $7B, the thing is your always trying to double up and chase your losses but you can't stop once you go so far, its human nature and its how casinos make so much money.

Aye, that can explain the seven billion, but I find it really hard to believe that the accountants wouldn't notice the first billion, let alone the seventh.

He will do a couple of years in jail, then make millions working as a security consultant, like the character from Catch Me if You Can. I also read about a very successful bank robber who did the same after he was eventually caught.

Eh, I don't think so. He had worked in the bank's security (looking over traders shoulders) so he knew how to get around the system. I don't see him getting hired for millions, but he may write a book.

there are 6 billion people in the world. 99% of them will live pretty hum drum lives.

this guy, for better or for worse, has one hell of a story to tell.

not many people can say they've blown 7 billion dollars in their lifetime.

There's always people in every community that need to be clubbed to death.

disagreed, he can make the system better rather than worse.

I don't know if anyone will since the trust issue is probably a problem.

imagine how many escorts you could get for 7 billion dollars?

instead of a three-some you could have a 300 million some.
 

"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.

The point that most people are missing is that trading stocks it's impossible to simply destroy money, the money was traded to other people using stocks or futures as investment vehicles to do so. I wonder who these people are?

When I first heard this story I thought that his boss would talk to somebody who knows somebody who heard about somebody that can "take care of the man who lost 7 billion"

If you know what I mean.

Your high end phone book escort will cost you $500, you could get 14 million escorts at that price.

How your high end Hollywood escort probably costs more like $10k, you'd only be able to afford 700 000 escorts.

Apparently the judge threw out the fraud charges today..

So the guy wasn't trying to run a scam, he was just stupid (?)..

But he's said to have been some sort of genius, so that doesn't make sense.

Its an extremely bizzare story.

Really? I recall reading, (can't say for sure) that he hacked the systems..
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

sometimes, geniuses have no common sense. Plus, he was probably trying to hide his mistake.
