"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.

Why Loveless Marriage is So Common in Japan [ENG CC]

"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.

The only reason it's loveless is because the guys are overworked like slaves, they work 12 hour days and have no energy once they are home.

The first girls problems would be solved if he didnt need to work so much and if he didnt cheat on his wife.

How has a reduced birthrate affected the population growth if any, decrease in population as a result of less child birth?

Decrease in birthrate is the straightforward reason of a decrease of population, assuming no immigration. In welfare states, inverted age population demographics puts a strain on younger working people; more tax burden on the newer generation which means less resources available for children.
 

"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.

It’s a fallacy to suggest romantic love is even the point of marriage.
True, really. Romantic love is another expectation placed on couples by our modern society.
So many expectations in our modern world set us up to fail.
