“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Denver - away from Lake New Orleans
Closest hotel room I could find was in Houston. Took me 11 hours to drive 350 miles. Now I find out there is a hole in the levee and the lake is draining into the city.

Great, all of my stuff will be ruined.:down::down:

Since I'll be starting over I need to find a new city....
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Yeah, the levee break really sucks. There are going to be a lot of lost lives when it's all over. Be glad that you got out safe. Losing all you own is better than losing your life. Hang in there...

Wow...Just...Wow. I saw on the news all the water in New Orleans. That is just incredible.

Snatch, diablo, and whoever else lives in Lousiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, hope you all are ok.

I think diablo is the only one who is really close to the mess down there...at least that I am aware of. He mentioned taking pictures. I just hope he doesn't put himself at risk in doing that. Baton Rouge is one of the main staging areas for relief, so there isn't as much destruction there as there was south of him. I haven't seen much mention of damage there so far, and I've been looking. I'm sure he'll be without power for quite awhile, though.
 

"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.

There are a couple of posters who live in that area but evacuated to a safe area and are able to post. As far as I know, diablo is the only one who stayed in the path of the hurricane in Baton Rouge. I know others have most likely lost most if not all of their things, but they are safe. Diablo is without power and may be without other basic necessities like food and water.

The people who did get killed, why didnt they just get the fuk out of there when the warning came out OR is it not as simple as that.

I've lived in Bay St. Louis and Gulfport, MS. Everytime a hurricane finds it's way into the Gulf of Mexico the same warnings come in. People will board up and get prepared only to have the hurricane either go in a different direction or weaken and do no damage. It takes a lot of time, energy and effort to prepare...and it's usually for nothing. That leads to a certain level of complacency and a "why bother, it's not going to come anyway" attitude. That is why people don't evacuate and don't listen to mandatory orders to leave. And then there are people who just don't have the ability to leave from lack of money, no vehicle or disability.

In this case, there really wasn't much point in boarding up because the bulk of the damage came from flooding. There is a casino that was ripped from it's foundation near the beach and was washed inland where it now rests several miles from where it originally stood. No amount of preparation could have prevented the damage to homes and businesses. The only thing that could have been done differently was for officials to bring in the National Guard and authorities to force evacuation on a door to door basis. It's unlikely even that could have gotten everyone out. In areas at such as New Orleans, they really should have had a plan in place where they could at least attempt to get people out of the low lying areas...even if it was forced. I won't be a bit surprised if the death toll from this hurricane reaches the thousands. It's just horrible. :(

MY reality
The latest news reports are saying that looting is getting out of control. While some people are taking food and clothes, others are helping themselves to TVs, furniture, and other valuables. Gangs of looters in the city have gotten their hands on guns and are shooting innocent people and rescue workers. They even had to postpone the evacuation of the Superdome because the helicopters were getting shot at.

Pretty sad. I hope every looter down there gets shot, no questions asked.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

That's what I thought at first. But then I read more into it. A lot of people are way too poor, and they can't afford to clear out. That's why there were so many people taken into the Superdome. They couldn't fit everyone, and lot's of others weren't even close enough to go there...and that's why so many died.

It's just really terrible. I initially posted about the gasoline prices, which are going crazy btw. My dad told me he was at the pump yesterday. When he was the 4th one in line, the price was 2.99, and when it got to his turn, it went up to 3.10 per gallon! Wow.

But to complain about that is just plain stupid, because the people who actually got hit are going through so much more sh*t. I can't imagine. This reminds me of 9/11, because I seriously have been glued to the TV for the past few days. It's terrible that it's not getting as much coverage, because in my opinion, this is just as bad, if not many times worse. If it had happened to a metropolitan area in the north, I am positive it would get more coverage. Well, I live in the south east (not in the vicinity of the hurricane though), so I feel that way. They may have to evacuate New Orleans...never been done in US history since only one time in the 1800s?! My god. It's just horrible. I wish the best to everyone who's out there.

The thievery and craziness is reminding me of the LA riots!
