"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.

So I Caught the COVID. Do I Quit my High Risk Job?

"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.

Ask the question...” What would be the purpose of a man setting up trade with a communist country where the trade is unequal and drains the wealth of his own country?

Would you trade a BMW for a bicycle?
If it's made out of solid titanium with some diamonds in it.

Sorry to hear man. Glad you're doing better.

You might get it again. Vaccine or not. Just use the fact that you have it now, you know how it feels and you know what it causes you to miss out on. Are those things worth missing out on? If they are, then quit your job. If they're not, don't quit. But you've got to come up with your own formula/algorithm for deciding which risk level to accept. Personally, I think personal anecdote supplemented by what experts are saying is your best route.

Great, common logic tells me you’re using good judgement by listening to health professionals regarding that decision.
While I'm not anti-vaccine, I also think it's a mistake to uncritically listen to the advice of health professionals. They often have their own agenda. A perfect example of this is public health "experts" like Dr. Fauci and his counterparts in other countries discouraging people from wearing masks in early days of the pandemic (remember how they said that wearing a mask may actually make things worse because you touch it with your hands, and then touch your face afterwards?) They knew damn well that wearing a mask was a good idea but they were worried that telling people the truth would cause a run on the market and create a shortage of PPE for hospital workers. In other words, they deliberately mislead the public because they felt that protecting hospital workers was more important than protecting the average Joe. Without a doubt, some people have died by listening to this “advice”.
 

"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.
