"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.

How Many Of You Have Symptoms Of Covid?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

People are gonna notice itchy throat, sniffles, light cough more as corona is in our mind and all the media feeds.
Yeah, that's why you have to mask the symptoms. I've itched to cough badly in stores and I hold it in until I'm in my car. I'm working on building my immune system because I"m worried about OTHER types of infections/issues that could be mistaken for covid. I've bought some natural allergy suppressants for when the pollen comes out from the blossoming trees in the spring in order to avoid my allergies being mistaken for covid. Once you have symptoms that you can't mask or control then you are screwed.

He’s here and reading the forum.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Or a little less morbid:
Maybe Soulforge is in the hospital and his girlfriend is snooping through his computer. "What's this Sosuave link?".

Update

So I went, asked the nurse Triage at the front desk for masks, spoke to the doctor there

She said im a low risk after asking me a bunch of questions, she said it's more os a risk od you catching it if you go in.

Been social distancing at home, working from home as well trying to avoid my family.
Symptoms seem to be getting a little better
Been taking vitamin D,Vitamin C and Zinc/Magnesium daily and that seems to have worked well.


Doctors don't take you in unless your critically sick, GPs don't prescribe you anything of value.

If anyone has more questions about symptoms or anything else I'm happy to answer.

Doctors are reporting less than half empty ICUs.
Nurses have time to do Tiktoks on the wards.
Purpose made Covid hospitals will never need to open.
Will the state take its boot off our neck now?

... Unlikely....

If you hydrate properly and your piss is yellow, know that this is the money you spent on supplements going down the toilet. Daily need for vitamin C is 65 to 90 milligrams (mg) a day. Some pills contain 10,000 mg.

Also know that you can overdose on Vitamin D. Just FYI. Don't get too crazy on pills.

I have completely lost my sense of smell. Happened 2 days ago after having a slightly buzzy head and eyes aching when I move them.
No temperature as yet.

This is the best care guide I have found. It is mostly cheap antioxidants. Intubation is probably killing as many people as the virus.

I almost don't know why they make such a fuss over the ventilators since it sounds like if you get to the point where you need a ventilator, you're pretty much screwed anyway. Still, a 20% chance of survival is better than none.

The concept of this virus is just scary since you just hope and pray that it won't get any worst than whatever symptoms you currently have. That's the horror of it.

Please let us know how you are doing.

They're not running a control, though. There is a lot of speculation right now that the ventilators are doing more harm than good. That 80% who died, a lot of them might have lived without being intubated. We don't know without a control group, which isn't going to happen because that would be experimenting with human lives. I, for one, am never letting myself get put on a vent. I'd rather take my chances of dying in peace than be a victim of healthcare.
 

"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.

Still no sense of smell and two of the staff I work with also have no smell.
Two people under our care have died. One had severe underlying health problems. And the other was in his 80s.
This is nothing unusual. People die everyday. I could get tested but I don't see the point. This lockdown is absolute horse ****.

Not everyone gets a fever but most do, people could have the virus but never show any symtoms.

The dangerous thing is they are still a carrier and they spread it

Well I've probably given it to most of my family.

A rash on your torso and weird, frostbite looking sores on your toes are other symptoms showing up in otherwise asymptomatic carriers.

"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.
