"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.

Didn’t realize it had beneficial effects to those with cardiovascular diseases.
 

"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.

Their weight loss drug is zepbound, which is similar to Ozempic, which made a friend of mines daughter start losing her hair and go schizophrenic for a while. She thought all her friends and family were trying to kill her baby.

Holy crap.

That won’t stop people from pursuing it in the quest for the thing that makes them skinny without making any sacrifices.

This is so irritating to me on many levels.

There is literally nobody that needs a "diet drug". All they need to do is eat properly and stop eating processed foods, high fructose corn syrup containing items and eat normal food and yet so many would rather make excuses and use some drug instead of simply eat right, exercise right and sleep right.

They deserve the complications they get from it and the saggy skin
 

"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.

This is a maneuver by drug companies after observing the market over the last year and a half. Whether you like it or not it is a bit ingenious. So there has been a shortage of Ozempic and Wagovy which diabetics were depending on. This was created because Dr's began prescribing them for the off label use for weight loss. Insurance companies caught on and began refusing to cover the drugs unless the patients were diabetic. So the drug companies took the same GLP1 agonist (Semiglutide) and combined it with things like B12 and or other drugs and supplements to create a new drug specifically for weight loss and that wouldn't interfere with the diabetics need for Ozempic etc. The drug wouldn't get prescribed to diabetics and is more likely to pass insurance company scrutiny because it's not an off label use. I imagine this report on heart health is another way to twist insurance company arms to paying for it. I bet the report was funded by the drug company, to prod doctors and insurance companies to cover it as they do statins. I'm not saying the heart health report is a lie, in fact it makes sense that if a person is obese and loses weight, that their heart health would improve.
