I see that Europe is starting to get colder now. Is the energy crisis real or just an over exaggerated point to get views on a headline?
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.
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.
It's bad in the UK... I mean we are spending way way more on gas electric then we ever did before, and shvit is about to get worse next year with the price of energy increasing again.I see that Europe is starting to get colder now.

Where the heck are you in Europe that you write in perfect Americanized English? "Bucks" extra you say?It's bad. There are propositions to subsidize the bill for the consumer to stop a major economical crash. They just fear people will abuse the system. Its like a " all energy you can spill " buffet.
Ironically, or should I say cynically
enough the warming up of the planet means the winter is less severe than usual. So ,no white Christmas, no ice skating ect.
The real effect of the crisis will show up soon. Most people will pay a indication of what they assume they'll use, based on their previous years. You can choose to pay 100 bucks a month, but if your bill was 110 you'll have to pay 10 x 12= 120 bucks extra. A real headache now is what people should be paying next year(2023).
But yeah, falling a sleep and forgetting to switch off your heater at night is like throwing away a complete freshly made fast food menu or something like that.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
It may be ending soon. The war is no longer "the current thing" in the US, and the twitter files may be the final sledgehammer to the head of the corrupt establishment.meh guess people need to play more strategy games, in civilization for example one thing you don't is you not having a iron source and your enemy having then, that set you back so hard, with in real life we bring the whole we need resources, so lets not depend on only one source.
but doing so that also would mean more peopel would enter the war against russia, a right europe depends on US army for serious things....
Kinda of topic but thanks alot. I geuss I listened to WAY too much hiphop. I am also a musician/songwriter and made tons of song lyrics in English, maybe that also helps a little. Funny story; I used to work in a store when I was a teenager. A tourist from the States started talking to me and asked if I ever lived in New York. Biggest compliment EVER haha.Where the heck are you in Europe that you write in perfect Americanized English? "Bucks" extra you say?
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.
Well fwiw Europe used to be more like the US until the many of more aggressive men moved here or got killed off in world wars. You still didn't answer the question though....so I'm guessing Luxembourg or Liechtenstein, yes?Kinda of topic but thanks alot. I geuss I listened to WAY too much hiphop.

In Europe we are heavily influenced by American (pop) culture. Movies ,music, fashion, influencers (before internet ), all USA. When I was younger 99% of the music on the radio was English. Same with movies and shows . We quote English sayings and lines from movies and songs amongst each other all the time. The American dream is , or was also the European dream.
I think the internet exposed how much differences there really are between the two continents . I guess a lot of Europeans are somewhat disappointed to learn how USA operates and functions, hence the many comments and questions y'all get from us. We still dumbfounded the States isn't like Denmark or Austria lol. Lately there are strong movements in patriotic culture though, as there are more native spoken movies, shows, pop artists ect. Somehow it seems the USA doesn't produce the larger than life world wide big celebrities anymore. The next MIchael Jackson, Bradd Pitt, or Tupac. I think the next generations will have less affinity with the USA.
In most of the big cities in Europe you can speak English like in the states, and you'll never have to speak the native language. In smaller towns it might be different, but even than people will understand and speak basic English. I live in a small town now and here people have trouble speaking fluent English.
This forum tho, this takes me to the next level. Communicating and actually writing with natives English speakers is the best way to learn it. I often have to use translate when y'all use words or phrases, and if I read back some of my post I can tell I translated native language to direct.
Back to the topic.
