"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is a philosophic post.

Have anyone asked why people do what they do, even us... Why such crazy behaviors out there... Why human being can be such selfish and ignorant...

If... We are all going to die?

Is that a desperate attempt to in some way fullfil the pain and fear of death?

All those dreams sold out there. Isnt that insane? Even the ones who have such power... It seems just like a child who cant accept a "no" from life. And then, the need to live in some fantasy to prove themselves some value, cause then ego doesnt feel so sad.

I think some people just didn't realize that running away from that physical death is also killing their whole experience here. It seems our society, our spitirual side is already dead... We are just waiting our bodies leave this existence.

Did anyone imagined if in some point of all that thing... Comes a new being... Evolved and superior than us, some will appreciate, some will get crazy, or maybe we would even exist anymore.

I was at my uncle's farm last weekend... And I've spent some time on a chair withou any lights or eletronics... And a little dog there was lying on top of my breasts sleeping and feeling safe, it seems like the most pleasurable moment for that dog... And I felt a good energy and affection in this tiny moment with this tiny being. That moment I felt something meaningful... Those little and simple moments in life that we experience such joy.

If Life came on chaos... Something really big is coming from all that chaos we are creating in this world.
 

"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.

Just to add:

And of course there is such amazing think humans created over our existence... Maybe those ones woke up to what was really meaningful.

And those new generations should not foeget about that.

If I was sure there was no life or anything after death, I would have much more fun now without being concerned of future accountability.

Think the same man.

What do you think there is after death?

I dont think this life is the only thing we will experience... I think that maybe our energy will evolve yo something bigger or another form of life.

Have you listened to Alan Watts? (it's not that "he has all the answers", rather he asks some thought provoking questions in which you can engage arriving at your own conclusions...)

"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 agree... I don’t think our primitive brains can grasp or comprehend what exists after this physical existence. Hell... just the concept of infinity is too hard to comprehend.

I don't fear death, it's inevitable. I do fear not having lived when the day comes though.

If I was sure there was a life or anything after death, I wouldn't feel the pressure to live a full life. I'm not willing to gamble away what may very well be my one and only life on a hunch that there's more to come when I have no clue.

Thats true man! And this is also amazing... Sometime I try to think about what created everything, and what created that thing that created everything... Its like a loop and it doesnt seems to have a start point based on the idea that something create anything.

Maybe what give taste to life is that doubt about what comes next.

If we know what comes next, maybe we would not value this experience we are living in.
 

"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.

that’s right where I short circuit as well! The beginning...I get there and it’s like my mind gets an error message. Someone much wiser and much more in tune than me made a good point and said if you think as a physical being in the 3rd dimension you can’t get answers to questions regarding a dimension where time doesn’t even exist.

We don't know that there even is a starting point. Physicists are now walking away from the idea of the big bang because it fails to explain the current makeup of the universe, and they are even starting to realize that matter really is nothing but energy.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

this was cool that they could prove something new like 'fragments of energy' using new math on old problems that had different math to get same answers.
I liked reading the invention and discovery process.
