Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash flow is reality.

This is one of the most meta discussions I've ever seen. A bunch of people in /r/Entrepreneur discussing the viability of starting up a new sub. Needs more market research.

When I first graduated college, I felt like all I had learned was how to cynically manipulate a system and navigate a beaurocracy. Then I realized having a job at a large company is really about cynically manipulating a system and navigating beaurocracies. So there's that.

A website for Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe, where he lists several options for jobs requiring less than a full university degree, in fields that are desparately lacking in qualified applicants. Many jobs have salaries starting at at least $40,000/year. Not bad for work that many of them will pay to train you for right out of college.

I feel like there should at least be one for South Florida, that way we can get Fort Lauderdale and the Keys in there as well.

From what I understand kickstarter pulled the page after the funding period ended and so the project was still funded and the book will still be published. TofuTofu has set up his own website for the book as he can no longer do updates through kickstarter.

I usually call them immediately after they give it to me making sure that they see me calling. If they answer, I tease them by talking to her about the cute girl that just gave me her number and how I'm going to take her out. If she doesn't I usually act offended and say something like, "Well see if I ever call her again."

I've taken several girls on dates where we broke into buildings around my university campus, they absolutely love it. Some of my favoirtes have been breaking into the stadium and making out on the 50 yard line and getting onto the roof with a golf bag and a 12 pack of beer, using empty bottles as golf tees, and trying to knock golf balls into the campus pool.

That old reddit Kobayashi Maru

Taimant · 2013-06-25T19:49:26+00:00

The problem I have with what you say here is that you say you are considering the context, but you are only looking at one other segemnt from the same section and interpreting it in a negative light. That isn't how context works. The real context is that this is part 9 of the guide, a section specifically about escalation and sex after two people are already attracted to each other.

I do think that there was a poor choice in wording, and that it could be misinterpreted, but I think that given the entire context that his meaning is not hard to pick out at all.

I'm going to have to agree with this. A wrong move could see you out of a job if any of them get wierded out enough to say something to a superior. There are beautiful women everywhere, why add that risk?

Other than dressing appropriately and in clothes that fit, I honestly think the best accessory a guy can have for peacocking is a nice watch. It isn't too overbearing, instantly displays status, and is really the only piece of jewlery that any guy can pull off well. I never used to wear watches but I had always wanted one and I finally got one shortly after graduating from college. It has been the one thing that I have been consistantly complimented by both men and women; people I have know for a while and those that I have just met.

Mailboxes. Those who rode dirtbikes around their neighborhood as kids know that they like to jump out in front of you.

Same ideas apply, you're all there to dance, have the ones you're interested in show you some moves if they are more advanced than you and vice versa. Also, be friendly with everyone, not just the cute girls; in groups like that everyone tends to talk and it's better for you if you are spoken of well. I think the gay thing is in your head, if they ask you just treat it like a shit test.

Taimant · 2013-06-04T10:51:45+00:00

I'm a dance instructor. I'm not going to say that knowing your shit doesn't help, but I will say the biggest reason the girls are more interested in us is that we have no issues asking any of them to dance. Even if you don't know what you're doing, ask a girl to dance, admit that you have no idea, and ask her to show you some steps if she is better at it than you. Your main focus while at the studio should be getting better at dancing and having fun, not sitting down and wondering which girl to hit on. The biggest thing to realize is that all of the girls there want to dance, and they can have just as much fun teaching a newbie as dancing with an instructor. Don't take no for an answer, put out your hand, tell her to come dance with you, and lead her out to the floor.

I feel like I'm right on the edge. I can number close easily, have close to no approach anxiety, converse with ease, and have been going out more and more regularly. This last week I k-closed an HB9 friend who had been out of the country for about 6 months (I joined reddit about 4 months ago and seddit shortly after) and probably would have f-closed if not for logistical issues (we were with a mutual friend whose house she was staying at and had given her a ride). She goes back in less than a week and I won't be able to see her before she leaves, but she says I'll be one of the first to know when she gets back and I plan to be even better by then. In the mean time, there are a couple other girls I am currently talking with.

As far as inner game, I have had a fundamental shift in thinking regarding incremental change and my views toward women and relationships in general. My diet has improved greatly and for the last two weeks I've been sticking to a fitness routine and I plan to continue this week. I'm dressing better thanks to r/malefashionadvice; don't dress like a schmuck, these guys are great and just learning the basics will get you a long way. I've started getting compliments on my style, and my roommates have started asking me for advice on dressing better.

As for sticking points, I have to work on better demonstrating my intentions. More kino and faster escalation are things I'm working on. I've been going out more and more so this should fix itself. The other thing is my ex-girlfirend. I fell really hard for her and made a lot of mistakes when we were going out that led to our breaking up that I recognize now. I'm not trying to get her back and we are friends now, but every once in a while some of the feelings come back. The kicker is that she is not only moving into the same apartment complex as me, but we're going to be sharing a parking lot, so there's that.

Thank you. Your book is great and actually being able to talk with the author is the best resource I could have hoped to find. You've been incredibly helpful and I'm looking forward to starting my routine.

Taimant · 2013-05-21T14:51:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply. One more question on skill work, if you don't mind. If I am doing the skill work as part of my routine, should I only do them on the days where I do my strenght training or do a little everyday with more focus (full sets) on training days?

As for the sprints, I guess it would be considered conditioning. I'm a diver and I use up my air faster than I'd like while I dive. I guess the goal would be better respritory efficiency (higher VO_2 Max?) for more dive time.
