"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Call an exterminator. They can find the source quickly. Then keep your house clean and seal the entry.
Agree with this, exterminator took care of some I had many years ago. He came once a month and it took several months to get them all killed off. When he thought they were irradicated 100% he gave me his cell and said "If you see ONE roach, call me, and I will come back that day and you won't be charged". This happened a couple times and he kept his word, came back because I saw ONE roach and didn't bill me. The single ones I saw at the end were dieing, you could tell. They looked like they had been married to a crazy wife for 40 years and were ready to die. After a couple times of coming back for one dieing roach, I never saw another one again.
Not necessary. In addition, if the home has had roaches for years, I.E. you just bought it, it's going to take time and money with an exterminator. My routine actually works and is pretty reasonable in cost.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Ive dealt with full blown infestations… but of the more insidious rodent variety. I’d rather not waste my own time. I pay the professionals to get the shvt handled as fast as possible.

Rodents are a different issue.


I have used it, but it doesn't seem to stop them; perhaps it is motivating them even more to chew their way out.
Strange. I've used Uncle Gus around the home, seems to keep the mice away. You have to change them once every 3 months though.

I use the spray. I also have these bean bags things off of Amazon. I put it up in my attic, and the mice seem to be avoiding it. (My attic is a real PITA to get to, so I don't like going up there much.)
 

"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.

I pretty much only see roaches when they are in the death-walk mode (or flailing around teats up), so it must be working for me.
