"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.
Man Flu - Makes Men The Weaker Sex(?) Read This!

"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.

Eh it might be true. It would make sense that women would have a stronger immune system simply because they are the ones that get pregnant and have the babies. If a woman gets sick and dies while pregnant, odds are the baby is going to die as well. It would make sense that nature would want women to stay as healthy as possible.

it might be true yeah i just thought it was pretty ridiuculous especially since females like to go on and on about 'man flu' when no guy has said 'ive got man flu' like ever.
It might make sense for women to have better immune systems and such but u gotta admit comments like:
'Isn't it great to have something to chuckle about over your weeties? Yep, my hubby is definitely the weaker sex - it is never a cold - always a flu;'
...are pretty lame

And it's just the "first line of defense" where women may have an upper hand.
Your immune system is very versatile and adaptable. You don't need to run off to inject yourself with estrogen.
And who gives a fvck what some strange women on the internet think? If your woman thinks that, then give her the boot. Otherwise, don't obsess over trivial sh1t like this and get your panties in a wad.
"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.
Could this also help explain why on avg women live longer then men?The Bat said:And it's just the "first line of defense" where women may have an upper hand.
Also on a side note its best not to act weak and helpless when you are sick if you are around women, they will not sympathize with you and they will lose respect for you in the long haul.
I do like some of the comments by men in this article:
"'Men really are the weaker sex.' hmmmmm great journalism. Men maybe weaker in terms of our immune system but i don't think that trumps all other attributes, nice try. Next time a woman needs a hand at opening a jar they can use their immune system or hormones".
lol
Funny thing about statistics is that they can be distorted to fit whatever agenda you wish.DJDamage said:Could this also help explain why on avg women live longer then men?

The reason why women, on average, live longer than men is because men, on average, hold more dangerous jobs (and abuse drugs more) that have profound affects on their health, both short term and long term.
How many women work in coal mines? Black lung. How many women are cops, firefighters, prison guards? Instant death and long term psychological stress. How many women are in gangs and commit violent crimes?
Shall I continue?
Of course, sometimes women's stronger immune system plays a role in their longer life expectancy. But that doesn't complete the picture. In mammalian species, the larger animal tends to have a shorter life span. How true is this for humans isn't entirely known but it's a good assumption which partially explains why women have longer life spans than men.
And I agree with you about the second part. If you are still mobile and aren't terminally ill, then "man" up and deal with the illness.
My comment had nothing to do with "Maning" up actually. Hell if I am feeling sick (bad headache, diarrhea, flu etc) then I ain't going to hang around some chick and complain. I am just going to go home and deal with it by myself, unlike some other guys who want to make their girlfriend's into their mothers and "take care of them".The Bat said:And I agree with you about the second part.

This also bring's the difficulty issue of being sick when you are married. If you looked at some of the comments, you would see that most women do not respect their husband's if they become ill and end up doing nothing but rest as a result. Fvck that! if I am sick then I need some time off to myself (peace and quiet) and I don't need some nagging wife questioning the legitimacy of my illness and equating that to being lazy and being less then a man.
More reasons as to why marriage is a dangerous business for a man.

It's utter rubbish - it fails to mention women are 4 times more likely to suffer from auto-immune diseases like lupus because of their hormones. Also, looking at statistics for the USA, more women die of infectious disease than men do.

one time i was so sick i could'nt get out of bed.
my temperature was very high and i was sweating like a slave.
i slept the entire day (only waking up for a few minutes).
the only thing someone did for me was give me some pills and a cup of water.
these days this " if a man does'nt do xyz, he's less of a man" mindset is used by people when it's in their best interest.
also, "man up" has got to be the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

I didn't even read it ther are lots of man hating feminatsis who make **** up about men or about beauty not being a function of health and estrogen and progesterone not being the cause of feminity. These articles are a waste of time testosterone GREATLY strengthens the immune system.
