"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.

"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.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
