"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.

"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.

What was your worst day of it like?
Any lasting effects on your health?
There was many bad days.. My worst day was I believe 4 weeks into the infection..

I could sense that the virus had made its way to my brain.. I developed an insane sensitivity to light and sound.

I could not watch any television, unless I turned the brightness very low and wore sunglasses.. I could not go out into the daylight and stayed in one darkened room for 4 solid weeks..As for sound? That was the worst..

Even the slightest sound would pierce through my body and into my brain, and make me feel sick and nauseous.

Have you ever rubbed two pieces of metal together, and it grinds your teeth? And sends a very queezy feeling down your body? Well xtimes that by 100

Then the hallucinations started.. Anything I looked at on the television, seemed to look like monsters or creatures.. I had to call friends or family to stay on the phone with me, so I don't slip into insanity.

Week 5.. I began to realise, that the moment I fell asleep, I would STOP breathing.

The part of my brain that regulates unconscious breathing had stopped working.. I would sleep for one hour, then suddenly wake up gasping for breath, as my oxygen levels dropped to a dangerous 84% in my sleep.

For around two months, I slept only 2 hours per night, then sometimes I stayed awake for 2-3 days in a row without any sleep at all.

Things actually became worse.. The lack of oxygen began to effect the blood circulation in my left arm and hand.. I lost feeling in my left hand and my fear turned to permanent tissue damage resulting in amputation.

As for lasting symptoms.. 6-7 months on.

01.My lung capacity isn't what it used to be

02.I still stop breathing in my sleep but to a lesser extent.

03.I have chronic fatigue syndrome

04.If I push myself too much, then I relapse and all the symptoms from months ago just come back.

The virus works it's way through your body week after week, then your own immune system does further damage.

The virus itself does not feel like anything NATURAL I am convinced this virus has been tweaked and is a Lab Leak.

Your body feels like it's been possessed by something sinister.

@soulforge Woah, that's unlucky, it sounds worse than hell.

I won't speculate too much on whether it was made in a lab or not, there are some natural diseases out there with fairly extreme symptoms. This one also just happens to have a very effective way of passing on the infection. If I was to design a killer virus in a lab I'd try making rabies airborne and immune to current rabies treatments, 100% lethal.
 

"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.

They amputated your left hand? How are you writing this then?
I am using my left ball and my **** to hit the keys.. I didn't say the amputated it... I said if that blood circulation issue had continued longer, it could have lead to permanent tissue damage

I’m glad you guys are sharing your stories. They are more credible to me than the way the media portrays it. “Let’s close the country because Covid is bad, but don’t ask any other questions. “

Tell us about the time when you called hospital and they told you to hang on there.
Man the hospitals was useless... But doctors was the fukin worst..

I felt like I was dying and these mofo doctors would not lift a finger to help.

I spoke to 6 doctors from my practice and the cvnts told me it nothing but anxiety and basically told me to fuk off.

When I couldn't breath, they kept telling me it's a anxiety attack and told me to fuk off.

Cvnts!
 

"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.

How ironic. I don’t know about other health insurance plans but I know that Medicare will pay a hospital on additional 20% on top just for the patient having tested positive for Covid. All the hospital have to do is tell Medicare the person tested positive in the hospital has extra cash. But we are not supposed to ask any questions regarding if the hospitals could be fudging the numbers for this reason. I even asked an acquaintance of mine former cop now hospital administrator. When I asked about numbers and patients who test positive vs die or have symptoms, and asked about payments for Covid patients, he got pizzed off and said I just believed conspiracy theories. If there is nothing shady going on why not discuss it?

@stormrider Yep and that aligns perfectly with all the positive Covid tests. And that’s only part of the entire huge picture of Covid. I can’t discuss the other part because it’s against forum rules. But that part right there with hospitals is a huge chunk.

This is a strawman. “Lockdown” is strictly to preserve the hospital system capacity. There was no nefarious or political reason for those orders. To suggest otherwise is spreading disinformation.

I recall even in the god father movies that the families were fine with extorsions, homicides and gambling but realized that healthcare was too dirty even for them.

Was it healthcare right?
 

"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.

We will have to agree to disagree.

I don't want to spread any misinformation but I have a suspicion the virus is weaker now than in March. Everyone I know who has had it got it in August or September and had symptoms basically just like the common cold. In my community we peaked later and have had a survival rate between 99.7 and 99.8%. But I'm really sorry to hear you got it so bad, hope things get better for you

This is exactly how a virus works. It mutates down. Not up. What you are describing is science and that’s how herd immunity works.
Herd immunity doesn’t work. There is already evidence that immunity to re-infection for COVID-19 is short lived. There’s no need for us to kill six million Americans as an experiment.

There is no evidence to support the virus itself is now weaker. What we know is that wide scale mask use is associated with both lower rates of transmission and lower viral load if one does get infected. Lower viral load equates to lower severity of infection.
 

"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.
