Well, hells bells, you're 97 years old. How much did you expect to make as a Walmart greeter?mustfirstregister said:Just wondering...how much money do you make per hour?..I don't make much...only 11.5/hour
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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.
I'm an RN working in critical care. Here's our salary index in Alberta:Social_Leper said:Mind me asking what exactly you do to get paid $80 an hour? Gigolo?
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.
Rock on, our rates are comparable once I am qualified. That takes a few years to get finished, but they pay you to basically learn on the job and go to school. If funny you mention critical care because I work on (sometimes) critical nuclear reactors. Its a round the clock job sometimes, so you get all the OT, night shifts and sometimes vacation work days which adds up in pay, but can really take away from your life away from work.Fuglydude said:I'm an RN working in critical care.

My base rate is for year 4, so 36.80 + 1.25 for my degrees + 2.5 for working a half and half day and night shifts. Works out to be like 40 or something. Double that for overtime.
