Just curious. Have become more interested in the paranormal in the last 3 years or so. Anybody?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.
Anybody interested in the paranormal?

"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.

My man 'DISH is a debunker rather than an investigator. I'm the opposite. I'm a Paranormal Investigator with SPIRITeam here in Central Florida.

I've seen some crazy sh!t in our investigations. Some iffy but others downright scary as fvck.
I'm also a devotee of Aleister Crowley's Thelemic Magick.

Agreed. But I deeply value DEEP DISH's skepticism and rationality.
He seems like the serious guy locked away in a secret laboratory coming up with the formula to save humanity and he may just be, but in real life he is truly one of the most caring, erudite fellows you would ever have the luck to meet and befriend.
"She's Out of Your League"
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.

Something happened recently at my job that really made me rethink the paranormal entering this world. Just a completely unexplainable phenomena that no one can solve.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

As far as I see it, the word "paranormal" is just a word that describes anything that is other than "normal" or "explainable." When I was in my early/mid twenties, I tended bar at a restaurant that used to function as an old granary (grain silo) for one of the local agricultural colleges back in the twenties. It had a very rich history. At any rate, the bar was in the basement and there were many nights in the winter where I would be the only one in the building. Oftentimes I would hear footsteps in the backroom, a bang in the kitchen, or other unexplainable noises. Other times I would get an overwhelming sensation that I was not alone. I would also experience cold spots.
This kind of got me interested in the unexplainable. I've never seen anything though, and I'm not sure if I want to open Pandora's Box or not by actively seeking an experience.
Karma, maybe I'll PM you or Dish about this since you both seem to be pretty interested in this sort of thing.

We had an investigation at the Clewiston Inn and it was extremely active. We have video of 5 of our SPIRITeam brothers and sisters in the midst of a seance when they whole fvcking table begins circling and bouncing. All the while none of our people ever moved thier hands. The remained perfectly flat the entire episode.Mctwist4 said:
I'll get with the Case Manager and see if she has the video backed up.
Here is a clip of a cleansing ritual at the Old Courthouse in Punta Gorda:
Notice the hardhat.
I had an interesting experience when I was 9 at my Aunts house. A purple entity woke me up and smiled and then vanished from the foot to the head.
Noone will ever convince me it was not as real as I'm typing this right now.
For the record, here are my reasons why to wit I am skeptical of the paranormal:
1. For over a century, no one with a claimed paranormal power has simply demonstrated the power under controlled conditions wherein the possibility of cheating has been removed. Not one single person, out of billions and billions of inhabitants, for over a century of scientific challenges by the likes of Harry Houdini, James Randi, and others. Rather, claimants imagine a galaxy of excuses why they shouldn't or can't be tested. Rubbish.
2. The evidence for a paranormal claim are always either scant or non-existent. Parapsychologists searching for proof find "effects" but only after tortured statistical analyses, which strongly suggests nothing is there; replete with frauds and flaws, the field has made no progress. Things such as UFOs and ghosts have natural explanations other than UFOs and ghosts. After all, you never hear about ghosts who grow tired of haunting the dilapidated hotel and move to the brand new gas station down the street. Before you can reach for the extraordinary, you must first rule out the ordinary; extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
3. Forget the mantra about "We don't know what we don't know," paranormal claims often violate what we do know regarding the laws of nature.
4. EVeryone and their pet chihuahua says "Just you wait" and holds advances in quantum physics or string theory will vindicate their paranormal belief. But guess what most serious scientists answer: rubbish.
Karma, I would be interested in tagging along on one of your investigations on some weekend. That is one of the obligations of being a skeptic.
(P.S. Seances are easily faked.)

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
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'm very interested in it, and almost want to believe it. I've never had an experience, but I know plenty of people who have.
Demons are here on earth. So are angels. Do I necessarily want to come in contact with a demon, just to prove that they are real? No way, I leave it alone. Ouija boards, seances, etc....not for me. I do not want to open that door. However, I think everything here on earth conforms to the laws of physics. The only miracles that defied that were the ones performed by Jesus in the New Testament.

Seriously, though a relative of mind (like my 2nd cousin once removed or something like that) woke up to find her husband standing at the foot of her bed at the precise moment his plane was shot down over vietnam.
The next morning (without hearing any news or anything) she told everyone he had died, then the air force guys came by a couple days later to officially tell her the news.

Deep Dish feels the need to prove he is smarter than everyone by trouncing their beliefs. Apparently no one else is allowed to have beliefs of their own unless the great one gives his seal of approval.

Perception is reality. I'm not going to beat that dead horse. If you've seen something with your own eyes, then that is as real to you as the glass of water sitting on the table. I simply find the paranormal INTERESTING. Period.
As my interest has grown, I've become both a skeptic and believer at the same time. Don't ask me how that is possible, because I'm not sure. I really want to hook up with some paranormal research groups in my state and tag along. I want to scrutinize their methodologies. Besides, who wouldn't love to spend a night in their local haunted mansion? I think it would be tits man!

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.
