Girls will have a tendency to assume that if a guy approaches her, he’s trying to get in her pants, which may be, and is most likely, the truth. As a result, girls will generally give guys the cold shoulder causing them to walk off rejected. This response generally leads a large amount of the male population to avoid actually approaching anybody because what they first say when meeting someone, the opening line, is that intimidating.

The opening line, however, has more practical uses for guys than just for picking up girls because it is what generally establishes another’s perception of the speaker. It creates the first impression and without a good first impression, conversation can’t develop. Without a good opening line, the ability to create a good impression is much more difficult. This is why opening lines should be practiced and girls are the best people to practice with. If a guy can successfully create dialogue with someone who’s already assuming the worst about their character, they should be able to do so in any situation.

Al igual que ocurrió hace varias décadas con la lucha entre el VHS y el Beta por el mercado del video doméstico, ahora los dos gigantes japoneses de la electrónica, Toshiba y Sony, luchan en estos días por el control del sistema de reproducción de alta definición y parece que por el momento el Blu-ray de la segunda multinacional aventaja al HD DVD de la primera.

Certainly, there are “nice guys” out there right now reading and re-reading the title, thinking to themselves that they end up going home alone while the assholes get the girls and to some extent this is true. There are guys out in the world who are more than willing to lead girls on, when in reality, they’re just wondering what they really have to say to chalk up another notch on their bedposts. However, there are nice guys in monogamous relationships who date the same girls these “nice guys” could have had a chance with. There are nice guys in polyamorous relationships that are openly honest about what the relationship actually means and concern themselves primarily with making sure that both parties are enjoying themselves in whatever they are doing. By recognizing this fact, the truth of the matter is that “nice guys” don’t finish last—they never actually start.

The reason is because “nice guys” are actually just shy guys. They commonly end up playing the role of the friend because they sit on the bench when there’s an open spot in the field. Then if they finally do decide to play, they find out that the entire game is already over. Someone won, and the shy guy hadn’t even gotten up, he hadn’t even made the effort to get involved during whatever time period was available before the girl had met someone else or became interested only in just being friends.

Global Warming 101

Calentamiento global es causado por carbon dioxide and other air pollutants atrapados en el atmósfera del planeta. Por ejemplo, como cuando te quedas encamado hasta las 2:00 de la tarde y el calor del sol entra por las cortinas, y de un de repente empiezas a sentir el calor por debajo de las cobijas. Bueno, hazte cuenta que tu cuerpo es el planeta y la cobija es el atmósfera. El calor que tu cuerpo produje se atrapa dentro de la cobija, y es por eso que además de sentir el calor de tu cuerpo, sientes también el calor atrapado en la cobija. Este efecto es más bien conocido como the greenhouse effect. El calor no tiene por donde escapar y en vez de salir se mantiene en el mismo lugar.
