"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.

I understand your sole purpose in life is to piss everyone off. I can't get my groceries behyind you because you are standing on them. I can't go pass you without saying excuse me even though you're the one in the ****ing way.

why do you have to stand all the way back on one side of the grocery isle to look at groceries on the other side.


see you got different types of shoppers. you got the list guy. they know what they want, they go in and get it and go. You got the go through every isle guy who just goes up and down every isle and picking **** that looks good lol and put it in the cart. Then you got stand in the middle of the ****ing isle guy. This guy is an *******. He knows he wants cereal.. but gosh darnnet he just can't decide so he has to stand all the way back with his back to the otherside of the isle to look at ALL the groceries on the other side. The entire time everyone is saying excuse me / pardon me to get by him. And never once in my life have i seen stand on the other side of the isle guy ever pick anything. They just look, for like 5 mins then leave. he just sits there, putting everyone else in a position to have to ask for his forgiveness like he gets off on it or some ****.


so **** you mr stand on the other side of the isle guy
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

There is sh1t like that everywhere man, even in Russia. You know the cure for it all? The aggressive I do not give a flying fvck attitude. You just do your sh1t, no excuse mes, or anything, if you hit someone, fvck 'em. It works, just do your thing, and fvck everyone else.

Just today, I went to convenience store to buy milk. It is a fvcking half isle wide with products on each side. I told her milk, she was bringing it to me. While she was bringing it to me, another woman walked up, as I was counting my coin rubles, I was standing right at the counter, and she chose to stick herself right next to me. I got my milk, paid my 39 rubles, and as I was leaving, because it was so tight, I dropped some sh1t. Well guess what? I do not give a flying fvck! I had no room to maneuver.

Not so easy in my neck of the woods. My local market has the tiniest fvking aisles. People in Japan go shopping every goddman day because everything here is so godamn small. I have a handful if items I buy when I go a couple times a week. But every time I go it's filled with bored retired old people who are taking three goddamn hours to buy a fvcking onion to cook dinner with. The aisles are so godamn small that I have to run around the whole goddman supermarket like goddamn pac man becuase if there's on old dude in the aisle, forget out it. They are too small to "go around" so I have to zig zag my way back to the fvcking place I want to get to and then zig zag my way back to the fvcking front. If I tip over an old person I'd likely kill them.

And there's always the "tag along" old guy who went with his hundred and sixty year old wife and the tag-along old guy is standing there taking is fvcking sweet time trying to read the back of a box of cookies like it's mother fvking war and peace or some goddamn thing.

Amazon's next big venture is into grocery stores.
Those places sound Big-Brother-Spooky. No need for registers. Just walk up, pick up what you want, and leave. Amazon's all seeing eye in the sky will track you by your phone and know what you picked up and automatically charge you for it. In ten years, if you walk into an Amazon store WITHOUT a smartphone, or a chip in your brain, you'll probably be shot on sight by robocop for sedition or something.
 

"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.

Well, brick and mortar is an antiquated retail concept anyway. Most people buy the same stuff on a regular schedule. Once the delivery drones start flying, they will drop your weekly groceries off at your doorstep so that you don't have to visit a store. Amazon Prime was the beginning of this idea. With free shipping, people are ordering things like toilet paper.

Amazon has come a long way since 1994:


I think stores in the future will be more like loading docks for items too big for the drones to carry. Place an order on your phone, drive up, and the robot-driven forklifts load it for you, no need to get out of your self-driving car. The average US wal-mart right now has about 300 employees. In ten years, it will be closer to 30. Brick and mortar retail will eventually become as extinct as steam engines.

The guy op is talking about is probably the same guy driving slowly without being sure where to go.

He basically forces you to make some illegal manouver to pass him only to speed the same moment you side him.
