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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Time to line up and take another shot, boyos...
China reports first human case of H10N3 bird flu
There is no indication that H10N3 can spread easily in humans.www.nbcnews.com
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.
I would guess china cares enough to take a sample and grow it out in their (totally not a germ warfare) lab. Give it time.
Strange they haven't succeeded yet, this type of virus has been around for decades. How much time were you thinking? A couple of centuries?
Facial recognition technology everywhere, as well as tracking across all social media to constantly evaluate that social credit...too bad they didnt put that much effort into securing their germ collection.
That comes from someone that has a frog dressed as a pope. OoOokay, right.
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.
Allow me to do us both a favor and simplify this little situation, you're not worth my time so I won't be going back and forth with you. Carry on as you were. Have a good one.
No need to get triggered, just use the ignore function, I take no offense.
