The Easiest Way to Meet and Pick Up Girls-Ever!!

Pages : 206
Book Description
As of January 2014 I am taking this book off of the market forever. I stated when I wrote this that it was not for mass public distribution. This book was always to be limited to under 10,000 copies. Sales have been astounding (far more than I ever imagined) and it is time to let the existing copies wear out, and return this information back to the few people who actually do it well. I have unpublished all digital versions of this book and they will not return either. This book will not be sold again. Thank you to everyone who read--and used it--when you did. That was an interesting period in my life. But that was then, and this is not then.This book takes all of the guesswork out of meeting women. It is not about relationships or raising a family, and it is not another hokey book on how to have some mysterious "secret power" over women. This book teaches you how to get a date tonight-without having to spend any money. Anyone can do this. You will approach women any time, anywhere, instantly getting them interested in knowing you, without feeling nervous or having to resort to pick-up lines. You will know what to say first, what to say after that, how to grab her attention and focus it exclusively on you-and get her number or a date on-the-spot. The first section of this book analyzes every possible way you could approach women. The second section of this book reveals a secret, devious way to pick up almost every woman you meet without her even guessing that you are working your magic on her. Subsequent sections provide help and troubleshooting guides. We won't make you a "guru of getting girls." We will get you "dates." The biggest problem most men have in getting dates is knowing how to approach attractive girls they see every day of the week (at the office, gas station, standing in line anywhere). Too many men rely on nightclubs, bars, and personal ads to get dates, ignoring the women they see e-v-e-r-y d-a-y.

Picking Up
Author: Robin Nagle
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466836733
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
A “gripping” behind-the-scenes look at New York’s sanitation workers by an anthropologist who joined the force (Robert Sullivan, author of Rats). America’s largest city generates garbage in torrents—11,000 tons from households each day on average. But New Yorkers don’t give it much attention. They leave their trash on the curb or drop it in a litter basket, and promptly forget about it. And why not? On a schedule so regular you could almost set your watch by it, someone always comes to take it away. But who, exactly, is that someone? And why is he—or she—so unknown? In Picking Up, the anthropologist Robin Nagle introduces us to the men and women of New York City’s Department of Sanitation and makes clear why this small army of uniformed workers is the most important labor force on the streets. Seeking to understand every aspect of the Department’s mission, Nagle accompanied crews on their routes, questioned supervisors and commissioners, and listened to story after story about blizzards, hazardous wastes, and the insults of everyday New Yorkers. But the more time she spent with the DSNY, the more Nagle realized that observing wasn’t quite enough—so she joined the force herself. Driving the hulking trucks, she obtained an insider’s perspective on the complex kinships, arcane rules, and obscure lingo unique to the realm of sanitation workers. Nagle chronicles New York City’s four-hundred-year struggle with trash, and traces the city’s waste-management efforts from a time when filth overwhelmed the streets to the far more rigorous practices of today, when the Big Apple is as clean as it’s ever been. “An intimate look at the mostly male work force as they risk injury and endure insult while doing the city’s dirty work [and] a fascinating capsule history of the department.” —Publishers Weekly “[Nagle’s] passion for the subject really comes to life.” —The New York Times “Evokes the physical and psychological toll of this dangerous, filthy, necessary work.” —Nature “Nagle joins the likes of Jane Jacobs and Jacob Riis, writers with the chutzpah to dig deep into the Rube Goldberg machine we call the Big Apple and emerge with a lyrical, clear-eyed look at how it works.” — Mother Jones

What's in your coffee cup: Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts? Hetherington and Weiler explain how even our smallest choices speak volumes about us-- especially when it comes to our personalities and our politics. Liberals and conservatives seem to occupy different worlds because we have fundamentally different worldviews: systems of values which shape our lives and decisions in the most elemental ways. If we're to overcome our seemingly intractable differences, we must first learn to master the psychological impulses that give rise to them, and to understand how politicians manipulate our mindsets for their own benefit.
