"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.

I just got my electricity back on after losing it early this morning. Apart from a branch down in the back yard and some moderate flooding, I escaped unscathed.

I live on top of a hill on the edge of a golf course. One mile down at the bottom of the hill is a park with a stream running through it and eventually going under the main road. The entire park was underwater and the stream was a raging torrent. It washed out part of the road.

Aside from some trees down and some flooding, we made out pretty well here in the northern NYC suburbs.
 

"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.

Nothing really happened down here in southern NJ. Definitely lots of rain and wind, but we kept electricity the whole time and flooding has been minimal. Surrounding areas have flooded horribly, but we got lucky.

There were a bunch of tornadoes in the area too. Earthquake, hurricane, and tornado all in the same week. The odds of that must be extremely rare. Add in a volcano and we're set!

I'm near Jersey City and I woke up at 4am to strong wind gusts then went back to sleep. Today I saw a small branch on the ground and the park a few blocks away is like a lake, which is not unusual. Overall I think this hurricane was a dud.

I wouldn't quite say that. 1.3 million still without power (a large percentage won't be restored till next week). Several deaths occured and mega-millions of property damage has resulted.

Our infrastructure up here isn't built for hurricanes, and the trees are habituated to a certain wind level. When the ground is soaked and the wind kicks up, trees that have been fine for decades come crashing down.

On my street there are 5 houses that had trees fall directly on them. So relative to huge disasters with scores of lives lost one could say it wasn't
sh!t, but the damage level is still massive and recovery will go on for months.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm just disappointed that this took up more time on my tv than Somalia or Gaza.

That cvnt Irene took away the rain we were supposed to get. Made it hot as balls. 115 degrees with the heat index.

I went out and did yardwork for awhile. Helluva tan. Smoked a cigar with the Mrs. afterwards.
 

"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.
