"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.
Do you think that "The Pink Stuff" going viral will make more women interested in homemaking?

Actually, I first learned of this from Yahoo Finance. I am ALWAYS checking stocks whether I have a position in them or am thinking about it in the future.

I InfoMog you.
"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.

Now I see why Yahoo always posts random unrelated content with their actual content.

They went from being a search engine to being a retarded clickbait news feed

I think Yahoo has succeeded in becoming a "front page" of the internet. Whenever I see an article that is behind a paywall, I search for that article & "Yahoo" to get a Yahoo article about the story. (I have a few other techniques to get around paywalls.
) And like I had said, Yahoo Finance has replaced the Money/Business section of the local newspaper, and with live pricing of securities."I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I use a version of this paste called 'Elbow Grease', which is basically the same stuff, but is a yellow/mustard colour.
It's fantastic at getting oil and grease off my hands and gear.
