"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.

I've definitely been quiet quitting.

However, as a surgeon, my patient death rate has been climbing for some reason....

Eventually management tightened the budget and started complaining about my hours. Other engineers started complaining as well. So I complied and put in less time at work. It was my form of quiet quitting. They basically asked me to be less productive so I didn't offend anyone. Two years later I quit for good. Fuhk corporate America. Never going back.
The great thing about when I was a contractor (engineer/programmer) was that I got paid by the hour just like I was a hard-hat.

I don't think it's the same for the tourism industry though unless you're working in a cruise ship very hard to quite quit there
 

"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.

From what I understand, the younger generations are very depressed. But the ones who are putting in the work to have successful careers are happy and fulfilled. Don't buy into the new value system, which is simply a lack of values. It will take you nowhere.
