"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Is natural gas toxic

My sense of smell is dampened ever since I got Covid last year. A couple nights ago, I noticed a funny smell (the same smell when you turn on your heater for the first time in the winter), and didn't think much of it since I was half asleep. Next day it was much more prominent, could almost taste it in my mouth. Noticed my oven gauge was turned just enough for the gas to get released. It was on for maybe 16 hrs in total. Ended up cracking open all my windows, fans on, blasted AC and left my shower running hot with the door open to try to move the air around as much as possible. I can still smell/taste it a bit now after an entire day.

I didn't have any symptoms, not even a headache, I was able to exercise just fine right after I left, but I'm a bit paranoid. Anyone know if natural gas/methane is an issue? I feel like if it displaced enough oxygen I would have noticed symptoms...

I guess I'm asking here since the damage is already done so I don't know why I'd bother talking to a doctor besides just reassurance.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

If it was harmful you would have already suffered some conseguences.

The only risk is for your heart, given the current gas prices you risk a stroke once you get the monthly bill.
 

"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.

Natural gas doesn't have a smell. Methane (the main component of natural gas) seems to be a 2 out of 4 in toxicity (enough of it could cause incapacitation); of course, in terms of flammability, it's 4 out of 4. :rolleyes: (I'm using the NFPA 704 designation - i.e., the diamond with 3 numbers.)

The "smell" in natural gas is an intentional highly-offensive, odorant additive precisely so that humans notice any type of concentration, and thus are motivated to stop the leak (and/or determine when such a leak has been fixed) or at least leave the space.

Inhalation of methane can cause a respiratory condition called ARDS - acute respiratory distress syndrome. It means you cannot get enough o2 into your bloodstream in this case it’s usually peracute which means it’s sudden severe onset and can cause death, but also resolves very quickly in many cases.

I was more concerned about lack of oxygen to my brain. I'd literally rather die than have moderate/severe brain damage.
 

"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.
