"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.

Can we continue to ignore something so major?

"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.

I prefer the Vitamin D/C/Zinc/NAC findings over the vaccines being rushed and touted. It legitimately is survival of the fittest here in 2020. Have you been exercising, not smoking/drinking to excess and eating cleaner/supplementing? But no, let the masses of unfit take round one of the vaccine.

Is corona even real?
Yes. It’s real. I just spent Thanksgiving Day and night in the hospital. I was speaking with several nurses and they were telling me about people coming in under their own power, not looking too bad, and finding them dead a few hours later.

That was the first wave. This second wave is less severe with fewer deaths. At any rate, this thing is most certainly real.

Please note this is not to argue covid one way or the other, but to point out the sheer hypocrisy and exceptions for certain businesses and people. A double standard that makes many question the motives behind the orders. If we truly need these restrictiobs, then needs to be consistent.

Some of the mods must be on vacation.

Somehow, you've managed to speak about an interesting and thought provking topic (that isn't girl related) and so far (10+ hours) it hasn't received the smudge of being "locked."

And by the way, I wasn't aware of this news, but I share your viewpoint.

Most likely, they were people with a compromised immune system. Over 98% of people who catch the virus will make a recovery. However, the ones who have a compromised immune system or are obese, COPD, asthma, diabetes, etc. will have a tougher go at it.

Nonetheless, this thread can turn in a bad way, so it's locked to allow people to keep their cool.
