"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

President Trump will be announcing a Federally enforced lock down for the NYC Metro area. I assume that will include all NYC boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Fairfield County, CT, Essex County, NJ, Bergen County, NJ, Hudson County, NJ, Passaic County, NJ, and Union County, NJ. Governor's not on board, but Trump says tough sh it.

This is going to an interesting experiment. @Amante Silvestre, looks like you may get your hazard pay @12k per week after all.
 

"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.

Heh, States' Rights... sure. I guess we'll have a Constitutional Crisis after all, just not what anyone saw coming.

Yes, if enough NY’ers think fleeing NY and going to Florida, Rhode Island, or wherever is going to save them from the virus event, then the President needs to put the most heavily infected area in the US on lockdown ASAP.
He cannot let individuals fear level contribute to the spread…
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Realize this nation is now on a health war footing and national interest has precedence over States rights if necessary .…

Rightly so.

I've been galavanting throughout Asia when SARs 1st hit, didn't even bother wearing a mask back then, airports were still functioning, just extra checking and removing people with high temperatures.

Now, I'm wearing a mask, have a hand sanitizers in my pockets, airports are like in the Zombies movies, and right now in South East Asia, cities are virtually empty, everyone is hunkered down.

It's not being AFRAID or BRAVER, it's being RESPONSIBLE enough to NOT spread it to those that's vulnerable.

There's a lot of ways for a person to die, don't add covid 19 into the equation.

14 days or even a month is something everyone should be able to sacrifice - watching TV at home.

I guess I'll owe the PAN-dem-IC-ers an apology, if anyone gets shot brealing curfew. Where's Snake Pliskin when ya need him?
You can Escape from NY, but not LA right now. LOL.

The Warriors are about to come out to playayay...
Did you like the movie, The Warriors? It was a bit boring for me.

President Trump just said a federal lockdown wont be necessary, it's just a travel advisory at this point....
Yes, he backed off a few hours after I posted this. The scientists and virologists have mixed views on how this will end. Many though think this will be over in June. However, the damage and aftermath will be felt through the next few months after.
 

"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.

Yeah, I thought it was overrated. I don't remember much about it now. The differently-dressed gangs were cool. Mostly I remember them fighting in the park, and the final scene in Coney Island, and the end credits with the Eagles' "In The City." I think it's one of those movies that has a lasting reputation in spite of just being okay, like Saturday Night Fever.
Did know that classic scene of warrrrriooorrrss come out to plaaaaay wasn't scripted?

My local university had two cases pop up in a dorm, and now all students in that dorm are under mandatory quarantine. They are mostly international students who had nowhere to go after classes were cancelled.

Cities will be quarantined last, if at all. The first quarantines will be like that dorm, locking down apartment buildings when a case is discovered. I sure as hell would not want to live in multi unit housing right now. If you do, and someone gets sick, they lock you in with the sick people.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.
