Florida COVID-19 update: 13,774 cases added. Percentage of hospital, ICU patients sliding
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.
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.
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.

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.
lmao get a life dude.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near 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.
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.
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.
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.
