"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.

How are you preparing for the coming food shortage?

"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.

I dont see how it's doom-and-gloom to make people aware that there's a potential food shortage on the horizon...

This is an article from CNN that I think most people need to be aware of.

More rhetoric from the corporate elites to justify high prices while there profits continue to soar…

Reminds me of italian and austrian soldiers during WWI starving on the trenches only to find out full storage facilities on their retreat way...

At this point I believe most "crysis" are either used from govs to get more control when they happen or simply created from them on purpose when they believe further control is needed.

The current and upcoming "energy shortage" is created over the eastern european conflict, basically we now need to "accept suffering and rationing" to reach a "common good"....kinda like lockdowns last year or the patriot act few years ago.

Just chill out anyway, dont forget they are "temporary".
 

"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.

Will you take steps to protect yourself? Or are you gonna keep wasting time and money SIMPing?


"CNN"

Stopped reading there. Also, I assumed you would have taken "Opinion" seriously from the article's headline. They also make opinions that transwomen are women.

Why is every thread you create some sort of doom and gloom?
For your distinct scoffing pleasure, good sir.

Every prepper I know reads CNN religiously, so I think you might be on to something here.

There's no point in prepping for anything really. If the world reaches a point of global food shortages, you'll have much bigger things to worry about.

Even on the more extreme end, say a solar flare wiping out all electronics, or a volcanic eruption blocking out the entire sun, what good is 6-12 months of food going to do you if you're still going to run out anyway? It's just delaying the inevitable. Ultimately it's about adapting to the new situation and accepting your fate, instead of trying to prep for everything.

All prepping does it make you an a more valuable target for looters.

Exactly, a guy stocks food, which is bait, then he has to stock firearms and rounds for looter defense.
I don’t know about anyone else here, but I don’t want to kill another human over a cold can of beans or for warm fresh bbq meat …
Conspiracies only play to a man’s irrational fears and his personal dignity has to come into play at some point during the process …

In any sort of crisis, if you live in a major city, you're screwed. So the advice on here to just give up ahead of time is decent for city dwellers. Your only option is to escape, which requires having a plan and a place to go to.
 

"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.

You're asking the wrong question, You should ask instead:

"How are you preparing for the massive inflation that is about to hit most western countries (We are already seeing high inflation and no it has nothing to do with the war of Ukraine which sleepy Joe is lying about), in USA even worse as potentially hyperinflation when dollar standard finally goes to hell and the chickens come home to roost".

Personally, I've been learning how to grow my own food since the pandemic hit. Once the sh!t hits the fan, it's already too late to start the learning process because you WILL make mistakes.

I'm also looking for property in other countries where real estate hasn't been artificially inflated to ridiculous prices and I can buy a good sized chunk of land for cash instead of going into debt.

I noticed last night at the grocery store that a 4 pack of t bone steaks was $48. They were not even high quality beef. Some food is still cheap, though. A giant 10,000 calorie jar of peanut butter is $5. There's nothing wrong with having a few of those put away.

I need to lose allot of weight anyway so this will help my diet. But seriously, all this panic news. First covid, then side effects of vaccines and now this. If you have to go you go. Just make sure you are right with God. Cant afford to waste whatever good moments you have left in life worrying. Already know its going to be a global slaughter in the book of Revelation. So no matter what prep you do you will just kick the can down the road until the next one that might get you. Even if you survive, who wants to be the last man standing in a ghost town with ruins all around?
