"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.

No. Only $600 coming, Senate wouldn’t vote on the $1200 exclusively, so you get the 6.
The election result ? Nobody knows yet, tune in tomorrow for the first clue as to how the current mess plays out…
Is this everyone or only low income?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Shaking the magic (8) ball:

I’m not giving you a formal warning for this for posting something political. But I am going to point out that this is probably the trigger post for the next post where someone who is pro republican will personally attack you, an argument will start, and it will lead to the mods deleting posts and closing threads. And you guys will accuse us of censorship. Prove me wrong. I will leave this thread alone if it stays civil. But I’m not betting a quarter it will.
Naw I won’t attack another poster. They have their opinion and that’s fine. I will be civil.

Ironically, I will likely be using it to help pay (property) taxes.
I’m using mine on carpet for a rental. Now if I can find someone with a job to rent it.

Im reading conflicting options about the best landskape for bigger stimuli, someone say that a mixed result would grant them while other say that full control from the dems would lead to a very huge stimulus.

I'm not american and I dont understand local political dinamics but wouldnt it easier for a party that control both the chambers to approve it?

That’s how it should be. But there are members here on both sides of the political isle that can’t talk politics without a passive aggressive jab or an out right active aggressive attack on those who they disagree with. It’s not just SoSuave it’s every site. But the site owner here has no tolerance for it and wants the mod team to police the forum accordingly. That’s why he pays us the big bux lol
 

"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.

Democrats have won the Senate, and will control all levels of the US government on January 20. President-elect Biden has said the $2,000 stimulus will be immediate priority. Stimulus will happen. The only question given the result in Georgia is if it will full or smaller than $2,000.

Trying to stay liquid and save. Hoping they approve the other $1400 they've been talking about. I'm not desperate, but not in a spendthrift mood.

Remember, folks, it's our money. Not theirs. We definitely deserve a "refund" after last year - and no that's not aimed at any one ideology. Lousy job done all around.
Same here but the way I figure it, it's really going to be a loan at best. They'll find ways to recollect it ten fold in the coming years. They are already doing it on a city basis to makeup for losses of business tax revenue. Higher city sticker, parking rates, speed cameras, property taxes, license registration, etc.
So in essence, even if we got the extra $1400, it's a wash for some of us.

I'm still waiting to hear about the medical benefits.

Technically, they don't control the legislative branch (Supreme Court). But they will change that soon enough.

@zekko The medical benefits here are great. It includes 2 visits a month to any female masseuse we choose for massage and good pipe cleaning.
 

"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.

Oops sorry, meant judicial branch.
