"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.

I know a woman that teaches elementary level education in an average neighborhood. She says today on first day of optional in person classes only about 40% of the registered kids showed.
Looks like many parents are still remote working from home or betting on an imminent vaccine arrival…
Meanwhile, went to the grocery yesterday for a few items, got well into the store before realizing I had forgotten to strap on my mask. Real pain, but returned to car and put it on out of respect because Everyone else inside the store were wearing theirs…
 

"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.

People are getting sick of the bullsh1t.

Cops will arrest innocent women walking around, but they let BLM protestors run free, vandalizing shops and assaulting innocent people.

In the past, I've always avoided jury duty. I've always thought of it as a government nuisance.

In the future, I plan to gladly seek out cases where people did nothing wrong. I suggest you all do the same.

That's a cute lie. Protesters are not the vandals. Nice try, mate.

At some point you guys will realize that heeding expertise of the public health professionals will lead to quicker return normalcy than bvtching about mask wearing will. Do you want this to last 2 more years or 5 more years?

Sweden.

Every place is eventually going to see a peak in cases, and then see a drop-off.

The MSM wants to put every city on blast that is finally seeing a peak, and ignore all of the cities that are past it.

What's the actual death rate? And not the inflated one.

Is it a bad virus? Yes.

Was it worth shutting down the Western World over? No.

I think time will show that, in most countries, at least. Not all. Some have more to lose.

I'm sure there are plenty of scientists that got it wrong initially, that are more than ready to keep smudging numbers.
 

"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.

Sweden is a disaster.

The models are the East Asian countries - Taiwan, South Korea, Japan.. what did they all do correctly?

Masks.

How is Sweden a disaster?

They peaked early, but every other country is catching up to them.

They never shut down, right? Every other country shut down?

So what was the point if we were all gonna hit peak flu?

Human life. We aren’t all going to get COVID-19 if we follow the science. The herd immunity mass genocide experiment won’t work. Wear a mask. It’s easier than putting on underwear.

Well now you're doing the trolling
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

The truth is trolling. Funny
Did you read my previous post?

Sweden didn't follow the "science."

And yet, every country that did, is catching up to them very quickly.

So what was the point of the lockdown?

I made this post on August 23. Still curious to hear what’s going on around the United States and world in regards to people wearing mask. Where I live and work in Illinois South of Chicago you’ve got both extremes going still. Some businesses will not let you in without one and are stricter then ever. While others have taken their signs down and are moving on trying to present a sense of normalcy for their customers.

That's pretty much the way it is here. The franchise chains are obviously much more likely to require a mask. One of the owners of a local small businesses told me the other day "I'm over it, I just don't care anymore". I'd say most places require a mask, or at least they have the signs on the doors but don't really enforce it. Other places will stop you at the door if you don't have one.

I loved going to Kentucky Kingdom Amusement park over Labor Day. Everyone wore masks standing in line to get into the park. Once in the park 80% took them off and went about their business. No park employee scolded anyone for not wearing one. The ones wearing one were free to do so based on their comfort level and the ones that weren't were free to do so too without getting rediculed or denied service(except in enclosed gift shops). Hardly no lines and even the most popular rides were less than 10 min wait.:up:

I don't even care anymore. Thanks for stepping in.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I got pulled over by LAPD the other day and neither of the officers wore a face mask..... Nobody around here even gives a sh1t about the MSM's desperate attempts to fear-monger.... I don't recall anyone ever showing signs of concern except for during the toilet paper shortage.....

The only time people where masks is when they're in doors....

I have a feeling that after the election, when there's no more political incentive to fear monger, this whole thing will go away just like the Russiagate fiasco.....

Do you really think COVID-19 will disappear on November 4?

Now you're the one trolling. I'll give you another chance. Why do you think so many countries we're willing to destroy their own economies by shutting down?

New Jersey finally opened indoor dining and gyms (the last state to do so). Most people still aren't participating. Mask use is widespread indoor and required in every public space. People aren't wearing masks outside much in New Jersey. In New York City, everyone is wearing masks even outside.

I personally don't wear a mask outside unless it's an extremely crowded venue such as the beach promenade. For indoors, I always wear a mask - no exceptions.

"Normalcy" is a feel good goal. Unfortunately, normalcy is unrealistic in the height of a pandemic. We can get pretty close to normal if people would just wear the damn masks. It's the most effective weapon we have against COVID-19.

It won't disappear, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was reported about much differently, depending on the results of the election.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
