Florida COVID-19 update: 13,774 cases added. Percentage of hospital, ICU patients sliding
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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
There's no list, but if you peruse the wall postings you will see the mentions, in a couple of minutes I tallied at least 6 before I stopped.
It's there in black and white for those who have the interest to find it. In the end, your opinion of me means absolutely nothing to me bro. So spout away, I will continue this thread as I have.

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.
lmao get a life dude.
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.
What you're saying is about people not masking is absolutely true, at least in the Tampa/Sarasota area.I just got back from a week and a half in Ft. Lauderdale. I asked some of the staff at a variety of bars, restaurants, and the hotel I was staying at about some of the 'news' that 'Pierce' has been promulgating. Clearly, they are not panicking down there about Covid. Very few people are 'masking up' indoors, and I don't recall seeing anyone wearing masks on the beach. Seems like some news outlets might be sensationalizing things a bit.
It is all bullsh..."For the 11th straight day, Florida hospitals set records for the number of COVID patients they are treating, and on Wednesday the state set a new high for daily cases.
On Wednesday, Florida hospitals had 15,449 patients a significant jump from just two days earlier when admissions surpassed 14,000 to set a record. The high count reached Wednesday occurred with only 230 of 261 hospitals reporting their COVID patients to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The state also tallied 24,753 new COVID cases for a single day on Wednesday, surpassing the last record high of 23,958 on Aug. 6"
Me: *try to enter medical facility*What you did not do was tour the medical facilities.
Where are you getting your information from? Are you a medical professional or work at a medical facility?Hospitals furloughed thousands of employees dues to lack of anything for them to do during Covid. Then they try to run the facilities on a skeleton crew. They claim a shortage of ICU beds, but there is no shortage,...they just can't "staff" them due to a skeleton crew and leave a bunch of them unused,...then claim there is a shortage because the ones they do staff and have in use isn't enough.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Someone would only ask me that to see if they can poke holes in my "authority" to say what I say. There is nothing I said that is not widespread information that is easy to find with a little effort. But someone (not saying it is you or anyone in particular) who only consumes the main stream media and believes only the government and their proxies,... Well, I'm sure this would be new information to them and they would not believe it and certainly would not want to see if it is true because they don't want it to be true. It would be like finding out that something they have been believeing for nearly 2 years isn't the gospel they thought it was,...not an easy revelation to absorb.Where are you getting your information from? Are you a medical professional or work at a medical facility?
Remember, both the CDC and NIH get their funding from the US government and are basically 'agents' thereof.......So, it is not unreasonable to believe that their data and viewpoints are somewhat 'influenced' by Congress and the White House.My personal experience in the industry and data published by the NIH and CDC, contradicts your assertions. Given that all the posters on this thread are earnest in their beliefs I’m curious as to your sources because I cannot find one study peer reviewed or otherwise that agrees with your assessment of the situation. Hence my request.
I believe that it is totally unreasonable and irrational thinking to believe that a government entity is lying to the public without factual confirmation of such activity.Remember, both the CDC and NIH get their funding from the US government and are basically 'agents' thereof.......So, it is not unreasonable to believe that their data and viewpoints are somewhat 'influenced' by Congress and the White House.
I am picking up your sarcasmI believe that it is totally unreasonable and irrational thinking to believe that a government entity is lying to the public without factual confirmation of such activity.
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.
