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.
When it’s that hot, people tend to congregate indoors for air conditioning. ThereFore, the USA sunbelt states have their covid cases surge more in the summer months.
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.
And yet they go out a lot more.
Let's see...50 schools, ~12 grades-per-school(K-12?), ~25 students per grade.....~15,000 student population. And, 131 "cases" (no severity level given). So, less than 1% (~0.87%) of the students are "cases". Next.440 students in Palm Beach County forced to quarantine because of COVID two days after school starts
Hundreds of students in Palm Beach County forced to quarantine because of COVID days after school starts
As of Friday, there were a total 134 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across more than 50 K-12 schools in the district and over 1,000 students have been sent home due to exposure.www.cbsnews.com
Notice how low statistics are used to discredit covid, but then when it comes to vaccine side-effects, where it's like .05% (source: reporting on Ontario side-effect reporting relative to doses) then its a big deal and detailed anecdotal stories are used to scare people off out of a fraction of a percentage of that lot. You can't have the cake and eat it too.
Stop denying reality. When it’s hot as fvck in the USA people go inside for air conditioning. Infectious diseases spread much easier indoors.
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.
And...When they first started 'sensationalizing' the number of Covid-related deaths last year, they intentionally avoided demographics. I believe most of the deaths then, and even now, are older, immuno-compromised, people...not the average 'Joe' on the street.
I just got back from a very crowded downtown Dallas with people out with their annoying kids in 90 degree Texas weather. Please stop lying on the internet.
^^^ Guy can’t admit that people in the USA tend to stay indoors when there is extreme heat. Can’t make this stuff up.
I'm in the US in one of the hottest states. And you have the audacity to say what people are doing when I clearly see heavy traffic, restaurants filled to the brim, people walking on sidewalks, and literally enjoying their outdoor life. It is a good thing I do not listen to strangers on the internet, or I might have believed you!
In that case, I hope the Ft. Lauderdale beaches are empty when I get there.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
^^^^ Exhibit A. Guys, you can’t make this stuff up.
Oh no, restaurants actually making money! How terrible!
They're still there.In that case, I hope the Ft. Lauderdale beaches are empty when I get there.
This is called a strawman argument. Restaurants filled to the brim is great for their bottom line, but not so great for hospital ICUs that are jammed with Covid-19 patients.
Who gives a fvck about hospitals and covid patients. People have shvt to do.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
You should, you’re on a Covid thread…
The statement was about the sentiments of people going out and enjoying their lives despite what is suppose to be a big deadly virus. It's apparently not that important if people don't mind socializing outdoors or indoors with people. I shouldn't have to explain such a simple concept.
This is another distortion. The problem in the USA is it is mostly the same people that don’t want to take the COVID-19 vaccines also don’t want to wear masks or social distance. Then these knuckleheads end up in the hospital taking up an ICU bed that could have gone to a trauma patient.
Notice how all the Red states, and "Red provinces" like Alberta start back peddling on their rhetoric or pausing their re-opening as cases skyrocked when initially they were all for re-opening because they are in power because of their conservative base, most of which who think the same way as you do about the virus.
There are also people who fiddle kids that do wear masks and social distance, but I'm not going to sit here and assume you are a pedophile.
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.
