"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Did anyone else see today’s Dilbert cartoon about spooning? I was very disturbed by it. If you google Dilbert cartoons, it is featured on the homepage, I am sorry for not knowing how to attach the link.

Does anyone see the humor and can tell me what I am missing?

I am a pretty open minded person, but to me, this is a little overboard for the funny pages kids may read.
 

"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.

I think the humor comes from the devil going "soft" (no pun intended.)
Rather than damning the soul to he!! he "darns" it to "heck." When the man fails to comply with the devils *request* the devil resorts to spooning.

Perhaps is a commentary on the wussification and p.c.ification of society.

Who knows.?

whats spooning?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Nah guys come on. The devil dude is holding a huge spoon (instead of a pitchfork I guess). He says "Don't make me use the spoon". And then he ends up spooning the guy and just leaving the spoon off to the side. I guess it is hilarious, I'm not sure yet.

I'd bet it's just a joke.

regardless, why is that inappropriate?
