Daughter is wanting a Wii-U for Christmas. Anyone here have any comments about them, good or bad or indifferent?
"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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking 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.

If your daughter is still a kid or early teens, I'd say the Wii U is a pretty good buy. You can get them brand new at wal-mart for like $300 I believe. Or better yet, you can buy them used off Craigslist.com and probably get the system plus games for like $350...
I don't have a Wii U but as an owner of all three last-gen systems (Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360), I can say that the Wii U is an okay buy. It doesn't have the same games as the PS4 and Xbox One but it has all the classic Nintendo franchises that you will only find on Nintendo consoles like Mario Kart, Super Mario, Super Smash Bros., The Legend of Zelda, etc. And those are really great games! My sister has been a big fan of the Just Dance series, especially when you have friends to play it with.
However, for her age group, the Wii U is a great buy as it does not have all those games that are more suited for mature audiences like Halo, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, Grand Theft Auto, etc. Instead, it has content that is more streamed towards younger audiences. Plus, you do not have to pay to use online services as you do on PS4 and Xbox One. So if you have a Netflix account, you can use it on your Wii U.
There is also the Nintendo 3DS, which is a handheld system and is also a great buy for people her age. When I bought mine it was around $160 and that was a couple of years back, so I can only imagine the price has gone down by now.

Never owned a Wii (went from a Gamecube to an Xbox 360), but it seems like they are the most fun when you have friends over (and you're still young; 13 and younger). Personally, I think the handheld Nintendo systems are more fun to play on your own. So, depending on her age, and how many and how often her friends are over a Wii U could be a good choice.

Thanks for all of the replies, fellas. I have not yet heard anything bad from the Wii U from anyone. She is 11 so sounds like the appropriate age. The Wii U would stay at my house and would also be for me to catch a few TV shows on now and then too.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
