Exactly. YOLO (at least on this earth).
"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.
Meanwhile in Florida...

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

Paragliding under heavy clouds at the updraft side of a supercell thunderstorm is better. You can be carried up 30,000 feet if you catch it.Jumping off a cliff...

Sounds fun to me.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

30k feet could be problematic for a few reasons.
Have to take your own O2 wouldn’t you…

Definitely. Not being able to breath is #1. The severe cold is #2.
Yep, thick longjohns won’t cut it…
I don’t like temperatures with a big minus in front.

The health care system is really hurting,’ but Florida isn’t under a COVID-19 state of emergency
Gov. Ron DeSantis declined to reinstate Florida’s emergency declaration, even as the number of people needing to be hospitalized for the virus exceeded previous peaks, and he’s also curtailed the ability of local leaders to craft their own responses.

More than 1,000 COVID-19 deaths recorded as US returns to April levels
The U.S. recorded more than 1,000 COVID-19 deaths on Tuesday as numbers reach levels last seen in April, largely due to the highly infectious delta variant spreading rapidly throughout the country.

A Florida county does not equal Florida.
"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.
Exactly! Florida has 67 counties, most of which are similar geographical size. While south Florida and the Orlando and Tampa areas have larger populations, you are spot on that no one county speaks for the entire state.

I think it just shows more that we are in a Read Headline, React culture, as exampled by Pierce. Which shows that the bar for critical thinking has fallen drammatically. People don't sit and go "Hm...why is this company that has underwent so many lawsuits suddenly in the headline has having safe vaccines?" Or "Hospitals are known for turning people away that don't have insurance. Why now are they suddenly benevolent saints?" Or "5000 people out of a million is still pretty small. Sounds similar to the flu."
I'm pretty sure even CNN was shvtting on hospitals before 2020 when they were making reports of how bad healthcare was or how hospitals were refusing to accept uninsured ER recipients.
