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.
Is your high environmental standards and leftist ideologies one of the reasons for all the tent cities popping up?
Respectfully it’s funny how Norway is electrifying but accumulating great wealth from your oil and gas reserves in the North Sea.
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.
Are we going to ignore all the jobs that depend on interstate travel? You disrupt the supply chain and it will have a domino affect.You forgot we're talking about millennials here
Hey, I'm just making a joke. I'm not the one trying to get rid of gas and oil. Which is mostly wishful thinking.
Should have mentioned that this also isn't done over night, have to do better with the newer generations and wait for the older generations to die before this will take effect. Your solution eventually leads to authoritarianism, which we also know doesn't work. You have far too little faith in people.
No Norwegian is going to deny that, but we try not to make it worse than it already is. We export the oil, our energy comes almost entirely from hydroelectric plants, it's very convenient to electrify our country. It still is a bit of a double standard, but hey, it's the greenest and most ethical oil on the planet, lol.
This would be a strawman argument. Getting off oil does not prohibit interstate travel or the distribution of food.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
What is wishful thinking about getting rid of oil as a power source?
I honestly think it's just incompetence. Most of these politicians can't see past their own nose, probably because they're too busy trying to remember all the lies they've told so they don't make clowns of themselves. All the political class needs to be removed from office, they don't have our best interests in mind, only theirs.
It's intrinsic to almost everything we do, and we don't have anything that can replace it that is as cheap and effective.
There is not a single benefit to being a high carbon emitting country. I’m not sure why so many seem to have an emotional attachment to oil. Oil is a toxic dependency and its effectiveness is specific to the application. From a vehicle propulsion standpoint, an ICE is considerably less efficient than an electric drivetrain.
There's no emotional attachment to oil. Switching over is expensive, and disruptive.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Not getting off oil is more expensive and disruptive.
You should see the costs of getting off of progtardism.
Elites first.
I understand the sentiment, but this is not a logical argument for clinging to oil.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
People use oil because it's practical, and relatively inexpensive. At least until recently - and the prices do not need to be this high. If they wanted to encourage more oil production, they could. Not many people can afford an electric car (if you can even find one).
The Saudis has been waiting for many years for this moment.
Economy of scale my friend. There’s not much difference in price between an ICE vehicle and an EV. Over the life of the vehicle, the EV is significantly cheaper in total cost.
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.
