"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.

Do you think sexually frustrated men will sign up to be "COVID challenge" volunteers to get hero cred that will result in better access to poontang?

I was reading this, and it got me interested:
Controlled human challenge trials of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates could accelerate the testing and potential rollout of efficacious vaccines. By replacing conventional phase 3 testing of vaccine candidates, such trials may subtract many months from the licensure process, making efficacious vaccines available more quickly. Obviously, challenging volunteers with this live virus risks inducing severe disease and possibly even death.
my opinion: It's like a super Beta way to be Alpha.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Damn.....so they are giving voluntrers the virus purposely to test these vaccines? Did d I read that right? Not sure what to think about that one nor the volunteers. Anyone would be very foolish to do this to impress others though.

The only way I would do that would be for an agreement where I get 10k euros monthly for the rest of my life if I survive.
Death chances are 0.2% statistically for my age group.

Men who do it to show off or to prove something are emotionally sick.

Doing it to show off or prove something is a problem...

However doing charity work can be very fulfilling work and add to YOUR quality of life. It's a worth while thing to consider. Sometimes when we are in a funk, sometimes when we think the entire world is working against us, sometimes when we think nothing is going right, sometimes it's like that cause your too fvcking self centered! It's required a lot of times, but it can be a problem.

Doing charity work and helping others forces you to put into others, and this may result in freeing up your thoughts, bringing up new feelings and ideas, which would have never started to flow if you could not get out of your own head!

But it's a lot of people "fake helping" people just for the attention it gives them. Smh.
 

"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.
