"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

How possible is it, do you think, that somewhere in the leaks you should find on things like 9/11 being fake (if it was)? They're like hundreds of thousands of leaks, there should be something on the major conspiracies. Although no amount of proof will be enough for the disbeliever or the believer, respectively.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I think the leaked messages were all well below the security level of "top secret." The guy's followers are holding on to one encrypted file that they call "insurance." Supposedly, that has the good stuff in it. The file is encrypted with a 256-key code that, once again supposedly, even the NSA can't crack

Interesting. I would love for them to come out with top secret UFO files. That would make my day

It won't. Pretty much everything he has released had already been known by some alternative media or another. It makes me think if there is not some other alternative motive at work here. I don't know.

I too think they're not releasing the REALLY hot stuff. Maybe for insurance, maybe they're selling it or whatever.

The stuff you can read now is interesting, but it's nothing really new.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I think the two most disturbing things about this situation are:

1) The US response. **** freedom of speech and the press, it looks bad on us let's freak out!

2) That there is some terrible **** in here, and people are just shrugging it off and saying, "nothing new".

For example, a Texas company was involved in pimping out little Afghan boys and the government is aware of this.

The US illegally spies on UN diplomats.

And lots more.

Maybe it's all stuff we knew or suspected before, but the question is, now that there's proof, why are we not making a big ****ing deal about it? This sort of thing should not be par for the course.

Shell Oil brags about infiltrating the Nigerian government with their own paid "representantives".

Various unreleased video footage and testimony that is not supposed to exist from the twin towers disaster. Interviews with firefighters and workers. Maybe it's got value, who knows.

etc.

There's lots of dirt which should have been covered by the domestic media, but they're too busy sucking government members off to do some actual reporting.

You are learning fast.

If you dig a little, you'll figure out why there has been no dope on Israel and why there won't be.

What if Wikileaks is actually government released or sponsored to be released by a certain group. By making the whole fiasco with Assange, the government cements his credibility and Wikileak's crediblity and no one will question it because why else would the government interfere and try to shut it down so badly? For all we know everything in Wikileaks is set-up and not as true or painting the full picture as we are led to believe.

It may have been unknown to some people, but some of this is genuinely old news for others.

And how could there be news on israel when they own the worlds media?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.
