"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But I needed to see some boobs to distract me from the burgers being pre-cooked and arriving at the store frozen.

Sexy Burger Girls? No longer at Carl's Jr. and Hardee's
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. -- For years, Carl's Jr. and Hardee's featured sexy TV ads with Paris Hilton and Kate Upton lustily devouring drippy hamburgers. Now the fast-food chain says it wants to grow up.

With its customers demanding higher quality, the restaurant is making changes, starting with a TV ad campaign that openly mocks the sex-fueled formula that led to higher sales for years. It's also revamping its yellow star logo and bringing in a CEO to replace Andy Puzder, who is leaving after failing in his bid to become President Trump's Labor Secretary. The changes are geared toward broadening the chain's customer b

"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.

I organized and ran a charity event in 2007 which was a giant drinking fest party with a live band and about 300 guests. My second-in-command helping me with the event suggested hiring the Hardee's Hotties. I said that's a great idea! When his fiancé got wind of it she talked him out of wanting to do it. Then he tried to talk me out of it but I said nope I'm hiring them, and I did. Everyone at the party loved them, well, other than all the fat women. They were upset and thought the Hardees Hotties were offensive. Maybe enough of them complained to make Hardee's take action. That would be typical.
