"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

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 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.

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.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

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.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
