"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

What's the game you play seem to me like with a lot of things once you leave high school hard to get a game going just want to know what books courses you take in and if you play online on your phone or in person.
 

"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.

I used to play Texas Hold 'Em for a while and watch the pro's play as well. like Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Daniel Negreanu, etc. Was never an amazing player but maybe a slight bit above average. I should get back into it but these days I've been playing chess, which feels more strategic and fulfilling. It's honestly really hard to find time for certain hobbies when you have alot of different interests.. It's like you have to put one thing down to pick up another.

I messed around with Go long enough to learn the rules. That game is harder than chess, I think.
Chess is a game I've played most of my life. Strange thing, I play, I study, I do puzzles, but I never seem to improve. I play at about the same level I always did.
 

"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.

At one time, I had an Elo score of around 1900. Now I just play my Chessmaster Grandmaster computer game (last updated in 2010), typically against the computer players that have female avatars. :rolleyes:

No books or courses for poker. I can play at a high level. Early learning came from losing money and watching free yt videos from coaches and players and streams.

Poker advice:
learn basics obviously.
Bluffing: you will get payed off when opps think you can be bluffing. Look to value bet big when opp can think u could be bluffing.
Calling: underplay your hands in marginal spots opps wont value bet hard if strong cos u look weak, hence strong bets when u look weak are usually bluffs.
