"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

My Aunt had a stroke after taking Pfizer vaccine. She's recovered, and is looking forward to her second booster dose. I've opened up an online lottery account and decided to place some bets with various odds to massage into my mind that the odds of getting a side-effects is the same as winning something tomorrow, as I chose the exact same odds more or less....and to still encourage myself to take the vaccine. I even called the lottery alias after the name of a vaccine to illustrate the point. Hopefully after I see I don't win anything tomorrow I'll feel better about taking the vaccine.

Being that I was asymptomatic and the only person in my household that came down with symptoms was my GF. No reason for me to get the shot ever. Why inject myself with a vaccine that is untested and a virus I'm pretty much immune too.
 

"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.

@RickTheToad I think you need to review the Forum Rules and then re-evaluate who needs to chill.

Lately I'm seeing a lot of what I consider to be disrespectful and insulting posts. It needs to stop, and I think you can do better.
I'm well aware of the rules. Both of you are going back and forth and derailing the topic at hand. Both chill and stick to the topic at hand or the topic will be locked. It's that simple.

Here's what has a better chance of killing me than COVID

Dog-shiat American food and drink
Lack of exercise
Being shot by a mass murderer/mass shooting
Enslaving myself to a mountain of meaningless material possessions, via a meaningless corporate job.
FTFY
