"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

While, I will agree, the hysteria for the COVID-19 is overreaching, there is some validity to it for persons who are Immunocompromised, have a prior respiratory illness or are elderly. The media along with our political leaders have really drove the public nuts for something in the end will not cause many people from dying; when compared to the flu, cancer or other major viruses or conditions.

I read on Twitter and online that people are having issues with staying at home and just chilling. Basically, they cannot handle the social isolation. They are becoming stir crazy, they are beating up (or murdering) their partners or whomever they are living with because they cannot handle the boredom or self-isolation. For thousands of years people dealt with social isolation and being alone. Real men are leaders and are able to lead and keep their calm on the home front. When there the sh it hits the fan, like now, real men step up, fake ass men cower, act irrational, emotional and cry for help. Now, if someone is in life threatening need, by all means, request help. However, 99% of the time, most will not need professional help.

Over the coming weeks, other things will start to happen due to this "pandemic". Police in major metropolitan areas have stated they are not going to be dispatching police officers unless for serious violent crimes. Most specifically, rape, murder, and/or domestic violence. That means, if someone robs you, breaks into your home, steals your car/possessions, you are on your own. Many people expect crime to rise due to this hysteria. Should that happen, you guys should be prepared.

Just like the millions, if not tens of millions, of people who had no food and paper items, they will also be overwhelmed at the last minute if and when the crime wave hits. This means, you should have a way to defend yourself. If you do not have a gun at home, and you are legally allowed to have one, buy one. The States cannot stop you from buying a gun from home defense. You want ammo, water, water purification tablets, generator, freeze dried foods, and basic medical supplies.

The test is here. Time will tell who will pass. We are men. We are supposed to lead the way.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Any examples of men acting irrationally? I always love to hear about that kind of thing.

I've been extremely productive with my time at home. However, I can see how you'd get stir-crazy if the most productive thing you do is actually throw away your potato chip bag during a Netflix binge.

so it will change nothing we are on our own, during this crimes, or the police show up to prevent said crimes? police is more a remdy then a preventive, they try to impose fear so people behave, and more often then so it works
 

"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.

Hard to lead when you're isolating yourself in the house.
I'm glad I'm not an extrovert though, if I were I'd probably be going crazy. I'd be trying to live on Skype or something.

The amount of people having trouble staying home and isolated is pretty high. Society has been out of control for a very long time with the attitude that we're not vulnerable to things like this. Covid-19 has slapped a brutal reality for many people. The attention is solely focused on health, financial and people fighting for their lives and has been taken away from "duck face" poses and ass pictures on social media.

Dont worry. Your president is handling this situation. He is deploying troops near the Canadian border to ensure that people here will not run to your country. Hahaha.

social distancing is my preferable and usual lifestyle. nothing changed for me
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm actually the same way but I can be an extrovert when the situation presents itself. You can say I'm a blend of both. I enjoy being isolated sometimes, even for a long period of time because it helps me refocus on life goals and myself. Some people need a constant feed of external stimulation and they are having the most trouble, mostly Women.

That's the cabin fever phenomena, my man... People go nuts when under house arrest aka shelter-in-place.....

If this shlt goes on any longer people will snap and domestic violence and civil unrest might be next...
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Meditation helps. I have no problems with self-isolating. I work 12+ hour days, so there you go. I get home, I shower and hit the bricks and repeat.

Don't be a dumb ass.

W/o social media, it seems many of the lemmings would be lost. I wonder what people did in the NYC blackouts in the late 70's?

Hard to lead when you're isolating yourself in the house.
I'm glad I'm not an extrovert though, if I were I'd probably be going crazy. I'd be trying to live on Skype or something.
The problem is with people in the house. If you live in a small apt in NYC, I can imagine it be very trying.

In other words, " the real pandemic is the damn panic!"
Always is the calm after the storm dude.

so it will change nothing we are on our own, during this crimes, or the police show up to prevent said crimes? police is more a remdy then a preventive, they try to impose fear so people behave, and more often then so it works
Usually, with a police presence, crime goes down. Right now, NYPD, is only supposed to watch for "social distancing and some imprisonment".

Plenty. Check out Google News. A dude in Bridgeport nearly killed his partner two days ago. She ran away and locked herself in a bathroom then called 911.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
