"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.

Lol so if we run out of oil, will we go back to fighting battle on horsebacks and if I want to go to Europe will I have to take a ship?
 

"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.

what about offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico?

What about shale oil in the rocky mountains?

I've been hearing from my professors that there is a sh!t load in the rockies.

I'm confused. How is the price of oil and the price of gas related? How come the price of gas fluctuates wildly from country to country and in the US state by state. Is it really the market price?

The national average for the US for regular is $3.59. In the city I live in the lowest price is $3.85

I'm getting my data from Gas Buddy
Oil = gasoline
gasoline = oil

country to country? taxes mainly
state to state? taxes mainly

Gasoline is NOT the same as oil. Oil has to be refined in a refinery.

So, oil goes to a refinery...and from a refinery we get gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, asphalt, etc.

Country to country? A series of issues...transportation costs, maybe they have to import their refined products, maybe their emission laws require a lower sulfur product, etc. Same goes with state to state.
 

"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.
