"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.

you mean like corn fed beef?

hay = cut grasses (not exactly, but close enough)
 

"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.

Beef = good eats.

I just cooked my first ground beef. Just shredded it in the pan, added some soy sauce and later some ketchup. Bought 6lbs of 12%fat or less from cosco and just cooked 2lbs of it. According to my math, every half pound is about 40-44g of protein so I'll be aiming for a half pound of ground beef per beef meal.

My question is do any of you have any special technique for removing the grease? I managed it with a slotted spoon.. so I got most of the grease out.. but I figured some of you have been cooking much longer then I so you might have a quicker/more efficient way. :)

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Thats a good idea, the only problem I see with me doing that is I'd then need a funnel so as to make sure the grease goes into the can and not down the drain (I put the grease in used soup cans and then chuck em when they harden).

we just got $300 dollars worth of meat as a gift from omaha steakhouse.

it's soooo good.
we got fillet minions, top sirloin, newyork strip, rib eye....

but why do you guys buy ground meat? i think it tastes a lot better if it's a whole chunk.... is it bad for you or something?

Yes. As the fat congeals it will clog the drain. If it's a house you own and need to pay for repairs, don't put it in the drain.

If it's an apartment where the Maintenance people are a phone call away, fvck it.

having made that phone call several times in different apts. due to previous residents' misbehavior...yuck. and this from a guy whose handle involves karma? heh.

whole chuck is more expensive partly b/c you can see exactly what it is. ground meat can be.....anything. old dairy cows, etc. that's how they keep the price per pound so low. :eek: then again i'm not really that picky :D
 

"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.

Upon reflection, I'll rephrase.

If you live in an apartment complex and don't give a sh!t about the condition you live in or the Management, drop the sh!t down the drain.

Throttle, I didn't know you were a handy man :rock:

yah the maintenance guys for my apartments when i was an undergrad said most calls related to three preventable things:

- people pouring grease & other inappropriate junk down the kitchen drain.
- people using "1000 flushes" and similar products (they apparently work great until they don't, and then they can really mess up a toilet).
- long haired people (mostly women) clogging up the shower drain.

i will add two more:
children flushing things down the toilet and women insisting that their tampons can be flushed

however, if you use dish soap and bleach down your drain, the grease usually does not back up very bad. i bring this preventative stuff home now and then and i hardly ever have to repair anything.
