Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I certainly agree with that.It is tyrannical to force everyone to lockdown.
Good analogy.We basically used a nuclear warhead to kill a fly and the fly is still alive.
This shamdemic is absolutely political.It's clear to anyone with a rational brain that this pandemic is 50% political.
HA! That's a good one! You mean it is not a rant that gets deleted, because you are a Trumper. It's like Chinese internet around here, support great leader or you don't get to exist.This is not a political rant by any means
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Not true, overzealous moderator @billtx49 deleted my post as well and it was barely political. I merely pointed out that Biden is a manchurian candidate that isn't even trying to win. And I pointed out that Breadline Bernie was also a manchurian candidate that was just playing his role as well - his role was to purposely lose so as to further the narrative that the progressive left is unelectable and therefore must fall in line with the establishment democrats. It's deja vu of 2016.HA! That's a good one! You mean it is not a rant that gets deleted, because you are a Trumper. It's like Chinese internet around here, support great leader or you don't get to exist.
Yes, I confess that I deleted your political post. Mention the names Bernie, Biden, Trump, Democrat, and Republican in the same post, It’s Political.Not true, overzealous moderator @billtx49 deleted my post as well and it was barely political.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Nature at work . Are you going to save all the wildebeast from getting eaten by lions?Are you asymptomatic, experience mild symptoms, or you just didn't catch the virus yet? Different people, from all walks of life, including children, very healthy marathon runners at a young age, all across the board are dying horribly from this virus. Sure, lots of people are asymptomatic or have few symptoms but they can pass them to healthy people who can end up dying, that's almost akin to murder.
You don't care about 1 million or 10 million lives? See your example just keeps going higher in body-count. Why did you stop at 10 million? Why not stop at 100 million or half the population, or 3/4 of the population, or how about just leave a million survivors? Where do you draw the line?
Tell that to people who work no. cruise ship, entertainment, casino , airlines etcMoney can be made again. The dead can't be brought back.
Nevertheless, I don't have all the answers on this. Everyone seems to want to be right about it and there will be plenty of confirmation bias on both sides when it's all over (or diminished). Bottom line, there's nothing you or I can really do about it other than act in our best interests based on the information we have.
Unemployment at 20% is a fact .If COVID 19 is a lie, then the economic crash could also be a lie.
All the restaurants, theaters, casinos, gyms, airports etc in the country are closed, which means people are unemployed...... That's observable....How do you know?
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.
In debate, we would call your statement "How do you know that?" a bear trap. I saw that you were hoping for a response of "The news reported it" or "The gov reported it" then you would respond with something like: "The news/gov reported COVID19 as well, why dont you believe that."I'll preface this by saying that I don't mean that anyone is right or wrong.
If you went to a hospital you would also observe people with COVID 19. I know at least one person who had it. So what? What someone observes does not equal the statistic that unemployment may be 20%. This is data that was supplied either by the media or gov't through media, and you either choose to accept or reject it. And some unaffected people are panicking over it, just like unaffected people panicked over the disease.
People often show their credulity and incredulity depending on what makes them feel good or correct. Watch the confirmation bias run rampant in the coming weeks on both sides. Of course both sides might be correct (or incorrect), but most people can't seem to hold competing thoughts in their head.
You dont have billions of people in USA. We are talking about the America right?Nature at work . Are you going to save all the wildebeast from getting eaten by lions?
I do care . I care about the billions who will get affected by losing their jobs and livilihoods If this lockdown continues.
My neighbour across out street died from it. People are better off economically for now because the government money is better than gig or self employment. We have a universal income.experiment that may become policy if a more left wing government comes into power. In fact many people here want the government money to continue and like this.In debate, we would call your statement "How do you know that?" a bear trap. I saw that you were hoping for a response of "The news reported it" or "The gov reported it" then you would respond with something like: "The news/gov reported COVID19 as well, why dont you believe that."
I saved you the trouble and got straight to the point: we can observe mass unemployment because businesses are closed and we all know someone (relative, friend or neighbor) that's lost their job. But none of us know of anyone that's got COVID19....
Doesnt it seem odd that if this virus is so fast-spreading and so lethal that we would at least know of someone in our own personal lives that's died from it?
And if the argument is that most people who contract it are asymptotic then that just proves lockdown was never necessary to begin with....
Again, COVID19 is 100% political.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
