"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.

Can you buy weed in Colorado now if you live in a different state?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The National Review, which has been called "the bible of American conservatism," and also endorsed almost all of the politicians who created the war on drugs in the first place, has issued a statement about Colorado.

And it is a surprising one:

Legalization, the National Review says, is “a sign that Americans still recognize some limitations” on the reach of government.

With all mind altering substances, you have to ask: Why am I using this mind altering substance? Why do I like my mind being altering? I think some people genuinely enjoy the stuff, and I think some people use it to escape the miserable life they are in.
Agreed. If you can partake responsibly, nothing wrong with it. I enjoy it, much more so when I was single and without a family. Spices up an otherwise boring weeknight every now and again.

As I've gotten older, I don't have the free time for it honestly.

I know weed isn't nowhere near as strong a drug as cocaine or heroin or that other stuff but I don't use it just because I have seen what it has done to friends. I have no doubt the vast majority of people will have no ill effects, but I've had some friends that basically became stoners that smoke weed in their room 24/7. Too many to be a coincidence. I think it is like alcohol in a way. Not everyone reacts the same way, yet you can't know how you react to it, until you've been using it semi-regularly.

I was a pothead from age 17-22, everyday smoker. It did nothing for me but made me lazy, watch more porn, and eat more. I liked to pretend it gave me great ideas but they where idiotic ideas when looked at with a sober mind.

If I was still smoking pot, I know I would be a broke,fat, jobless slob.
