"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.

Obama's new health care system is going to increase the already big shortage of doctors, both family practitioners and specialists. It's going to have the adverse effect of decreasing the quality and quantity of service.

This isn't from faux news either, even the more liberal new sources are starting to say this.
If you read the article in full, the conclusion is that Obamacare is going to force the health care industry to act more efficiently and make better use of their resources...is that a bad thing?
 

"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.

My country has universal health care. So, if I don't want to pay for it, and I need a dermatologist, I need to schedule an appointment with a general clinic. They usually happen 1 or 2 months later. Then he indicates me to a specialist, also one or 2 months later. If any kind of exams need to be done, it will be scheduled yet another month later. Then if any surgery or procedure need to be done, it can take years, depending on what is.

Result: I pay for private health care.
