"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.

How often does a fuel filter need to be replaced on a 1999 Ford Escort?

Also, do I have to/should I also pay to have the fuel system "cleaned" when I do this?

Thanks for any advice/help :)
 

"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.

:) Thank you... I didn't want to pay to have something done if it isn't "really" needed!

Usually you replace the fuel filter around every 60,000 miles. If the car isn't running bad, I wouldn't pay to have the fuel system cleaned. Just put a bottle of Techron fuel system cleaner in it at fillup. You can buy it at most stores and at Auto parts stores. I don't know what area you live in but if you have acces to Chevron/Texaco or Shell gas, they have the additives that usually will keep your fuel system clean.

While we're on this topic.

What does an Engine Shampoo accomplish? It's a service offered at the local station, but am not exactly sure what it does.
 

"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.

I never heard of that. Is it a different grade of gas or what? If so then it's probably just a name for fuel system cleaner. Techron is supposedly the best on the market. If it's a car wash to clean the outside of the engine, then I wouldn't do it.

Fuel system cleaning is not a normal maintenance procedure. It's more for when you have deposits on your injector tips and your car's running rough. Other than occasionally changing your fuel filter the injectors are about the only place where deposits really accumulate and cause a problem because of the heat there causing the fuel to cook and plug up the injector orifice. They charge $4/gal for gas but don't even put enough detergents in gasoline. So I think it's a good idea to add 1 can of Techron every 3,000 miles or so.

Hi Keto - You're being so nice to me - are you sure you're feelin' alright Hon? :D


I have 73,000 miles on it. I went and had it changed and I had them clean the fuel too. I had a $20 off coupon in my glove box so it came to $100. I will use that Techron stuff in the future as you suggest, thank you.
