"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

One of my new year's resolutions is to get life insurance this year. Part of the testing is a measurement of your BMI.

I'm currently 180 pounds at 5'9 and about 11% body fat. However, that puts me in the overweight category. So much for the benefits of lifting and good health!

To get my BMI in the normal range, I need to drop about 12 pounds. I can easily do this in about 2 months by not eating and working out less, but I'll feel and look like crap.

Is it worth destroying my gains to get a lower premium? Has anyone else here dealt with this idiotic problem?
 

"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.

you may be worrying for no reason. life insurance testing depends on your age and the amount of insurance you are purchasing. being 33 you may only have to do a telephone interview.

However if you are tested for BMI, your premiums are not adjusted so dramatically that you should be concerning yourself with this.

Can you not prove to them somehow that you are in great shape?

Show them a six pack, how can they say you are overweight then?

HAHA! That would be great! I'll show the tester that I can bench 235 and then run a mile under 6.

insurers are all different... if you have trouble with one go to another. you'll find someone who wants to play ball.

check into whether your employer offers group term life insurance -- often much cheaper & fewer restrictions/hassles (depending on your occupation, of course. motocross stunt jumpers need not apply, of course)
 

"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.

I got married @ 33, and my wife and I signed up for life insurance right away since she was pregnant (yeah yeah, whatever) -

A lot of it has to do with the insurer, your age, the size of the policy, etc. The first company we tried had me piss into a cup and they also did a swab of my mouth to do an HIV test. We didn't choose them...the 2nd company also
made me piss into a cup, but they drew blood and did all kinds of tests (inc HIV, that's a popular life insurance test) -
