"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.

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.

"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.

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'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.

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.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes 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.

"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.
