are you talking LTR? Because if so, that cant be rushed. On the other hand you can have a crappy interaction in about 15 minutes from now, just get on Tinder

Quality women are intuitive. They can smell lies and narcissism.
If you hook up with a woman and she is not intuative, beware. She may be an emo sucker and needs to feed.

-Figure out early what is important; you cannot do this early enough
-Don�t spend so much money on liquor. I could have bought a brand new SUV by now
-Pick a few things and do them well and stick with them, quit chasing random crap
-Select a career you love regardless of the money, cause you never know when you will be kicked to the curb, unless you want to be self-employed.
-You treat people like crap, you will get treated like crap. Expect it, and no cryin
-Eat right.
-What�s outside (aesthetic) is important, but what�s more important is who you are inside (no whiteknight, just reality, deal with it)
-Insecure people always have to have someone/something else to blame. Don�t be that guy.

Don't be a hypocrite. Draw lines, take stands, be authentic.

Oldbrah,

do you think people are Mostly Good or Mostly Bad?
Any way of identifying yourself based on something you've done rather than what you have or are?
No?
Then I'm not surprised you're unhappy.

The more you put away now, the faster it grows. Do anything, do something. drink 2 less beers at the pub and put in savings.
Girls: dont waste time on randos. Concentrate on career/goals and you will find the one.
If you have no desire for LTR, I can't help. Most people that dont want LTR are immense energy/time suckers.
They give very little and take take take. Narcissism rules their paradigms. When you are dried up, they move on.

Do what you have passion for. If passion is actually money, find that career that can give you the most money asap.
But DO NOT do something you hate just for the money. I spent 10 years at a company doing just for the money, and in 2010 when all the layoffs hit, I lost my position. Its just business, and I am not upset with them. But I should have been building somethin else on the side.
Delayed gratification bro, all the fun can come later.

On that 5 year old film project, I finally got a hold of a current pro wrestler that I wanted to talk to for the lead role. I talked with him today, he emailed me this:

"Thank you for the call today. It was great talking with you. I was very excited to hear some of the developments thus far. Please consider this my confirmation 100% that I am committed to this project. I’m very excited for it and really looking forward to it. Please let me know when we can move forward and finalize my participation. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you. I will give you 1000% of my effort on production. Thanks again and talk soon. Take care my friend."

2018 gonna be a stellar year brahs. Believe in yourself, and go out and crush it!
