"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.

What are your thoughts on all the rampant shoplifting?

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

If they go to more online shopping, we'll likely see an increase in people stealing packages off of people's porches.

A related thing I've noticed is the increase in airline violence. I remember for awhile after 9/11, the one thing you didn't want to do is act up on an airline, because they had zero tolerance for it, they had the air marshals, and they would cart you away. Now acting up on airlines seems routine.

Amazon used to promise 1 day deliver, but now almost all my orders are 2 days. I don't mind because I'm not ordering food. But if I'm ordering food or meds, I need it now.
I accidentally ordered Prime somehow on Amazon, but I've kept it since I wanted to try Prime Video anyway. I do like the shipping perks though. Anyway, yeah the one day is basically two day, and the two day is basically three day. You have to give them a day to ship it, and then two days after that you get it, so it's about three days. Better than the standard shipping though, which can take about 10 days.

So you're advocating for moving in alongside hordes of illegal alien ****heads and Chinese investors as police, fire, EMS and a few remaining human beings w/an ounce of common sense move out? Mad Max. Brilliant.

I don't venture into my city as much as I used too. Recent events in once considered 'safe' areas have discouraged me and the current political affairs have made it even more of a mess. The amount of lootings and riots that have taken place the past two years have painted a negative (but accurate) image. Break ins and shoplifting are becoming common place and even the trendier nicer areas are getting hit.

Not advocating. Do what you want bro.

A lot of people bought property in NYC in the 70s for peanuts. Sold in the 2000s for millions. Soho, LES, Park Slope. Neighborhoods that were slums but now posh. Not for the faint of heart. Takes balls and vision.
 

"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.

This is only really a problem in the urban areas of certain metros, particularly those who take a more "soft on crime" stance. This is a non-issue in the suburbs/more rural areas/metros where law and order are respected.

The stores will continue to operate brick and mortar where it's profitable, that's not changing. Obviously it's not profitable when theft is eating significantly into margins.

It's always the sheltered white normies who eventually become communists.

And then they realize just how well they lived as sheltered normies, but only after it's too late to go back.

The comforts of Western society has been taken for granted. Now these woke policies are turning our cities into warzones.

I just wish it would be ok to tackle shoplifters. Sadly we would be prosecuted.

would be cool to blindside a shoplifter in a Terry tate office football style tackle

Alissa Heinerscheid, currently on leave of absence from Bud Light, is a good example of this.

Privileged, sheltered white female who went to Harvard University for undergrad and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business for an MBA. Both of those schools are elitist private schools.

It's not just sheltering that's the attractor, it's a sense of victimhood as well. And in Heinerscheid's case, ugliness. Smart, sheltered nerd types love the commies.

All you need is a local government prosecute the law, and these perps quit.

Well, she caused a net value drop (for the investors in InBev) in the billions, but she isn't a thief. :rolleyes:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
