Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
California shut down gyms AGAIN.....

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
This is not about weakness or selfishness, this is about civil liberties being taken away....
And damn the consequences for everyone else. A real patriot would do what's best for Americans not just him/herself.
I agree, but my definition of what's best for America is to preserve civil liberties. Vulnerable individuals such as the chronically ill or seniors can do the patriotic thing and protect their health through voluntary quarantine while allowing others to get back to the business of America.......
We each have our own definition of what is or is not patriotic....
"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.
We have tried that. Twice now. Doesn't work no matter how noble their sacrifice.
Money is only ONE form of wealth.
There are several more.
If you hv 1,000 friends in FB, and you ask them to donate to you JUST $1 since u r out off work, I'm willing to bet you'd get more then $1,000 dollars.
If you are average BUT have an idea that's potentially worth BILLIONS, would that make you average?
Do you now see the folly of ur mindset?
Do not mask ur irresponsible attitude with civil liberties or patriotism since u r one of the persons that's directly responsible for the continous spread of a pandemic in ur own country.
If you and others like you had taken on a more responsible attitude, ur country would be out of the woods by now, as is with Asia and many European countries. Even tiny New Zealand has surpassed it easily.
Instead ur country is facing shutdown a 2nd time.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out why and who's responsible for it.

Sure every man can get 1000 friends on facebook, who cant nowaday or better yet 1000 followers on intagram?
Listen if 80% of men are at the bottom of the food chain its not cause they are all lazy, sure many are but mostly are there cause they have no means regardless their will to get out of it, they actually put some serious work in their life and tolerate bullsh1t.
Im talking about guys paying bills, taking overcroweded public transports, dealing with crappy collegagues and chiefs....those guys are not lazy or soft not at all.
A guy with 1000 friends on fb who all donate him 1$, its already a guy above average.
Ideas worth billions dont happen to average people, thats alone a thing that happens to few lucky ones.
Agree on being positive but lets live in reality too.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Newsom spared northern cali counties..... In southern cali everything is shut down again. We still have outdoor dining in some counties so it's still possible to have a little bit of a nightlife, but gyms are shut down again.
My DIY manual curved treadmill is coming in quite nicely. I just finished the oak slat belt and will now fabricate the curved rail.....
The good news: gyms can reopen as long as they move the equipment outdoors.
The bad news: there's a d@mn heatwave.
Who in their right mind wants to work out in 100° weather?
Go ahead and keep testing people's patience liberal politicians.... You think Texas is gonna go democrat, watch out Cali might swing back to republican....

When they try to appease the loud 20% they risk to upset the silent 80% and make them even louder...and as we know once a silent one is pushed to become loud its very likely that he will get used to his new condition.
People are pissed.
24 Hr Fitness sent me an email asking me to sign a petition against Gavin Newsom's excessive restrictions.
24 Hr Fitness and the California Fitness Alliance is fighting back.
Physical health and mental health are an essential business.

In Jersey our gyms are still not open but there is talk of opening for private sessions.
Get used to outdoor workouts or build a home gym. This pandemic isn’t going anywhere.

But cardio equipment like ellipticals and treadmills cannot deal with fluctuations from extreme heat to cool moist temperatures at night - it'll warp the plastic components and the moisture will wreck the electronics....
When gym chains see their expensive Precor treadmills and ellipticals get ruined outdoors they're gonna be pissed....

I predicted this second wave and made plans by building a home gym in my basement storage unit. No more sharing of equipment or membership fees.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
