"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Its an awful tragic loss to the world.

This guy was the greatest standup comedian of all time.

I was fortunate enough to see him live at Kewadin Casino a long time ago.

RIP George, you were awesome man.
 

"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.

Anyone else think that he wasn't funny at all? Maybe I've just been watching the wrong videos.
Some people don't get his sense of humor. It is mostly geared towards working class and older people. If you are in your early 20's or younger chances are that you wouldn't find him that funny, but don't you dare to name some phoney comedian like Dane Cook as the best comedian alive.

George Carlin, Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks and David Cross are what is known as "smart comedy".

The opposite of smart comedy is Larry the Cable Guy, Dane Cook or Carlos Mencia.

You'd probably enjoy the second batch of comedians I listed SJC.

He was funny, but alot of his stuff was just to politically driven for my tastes.

Kinda like Bill Maher.

He was at his funniest in the late 70s - eary 80s when he was less politically "ranty" and just did funny stuff.

True Story:

Back around 1970, my mom was out on a dinner/comedy date in the NY area. Carlin was the featured comedian, and among a whole dining room full of people, she was the only one laughing at his jokes.
Before leaving the stage, he looked in her direction and quipped, "I'd like to thank my audient" and exited the venue.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Wherever I please
The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating …and you finish off as an orgasm.

Thanks for posting that, Red Spicy...

That was poignant and funny at the same time.

He was one of my favorites, I was out of the country and had no idea he died until I got back home last night. Too bad. At least he got to live a relatively long life though, compared to Bill Hicks. :(
