"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.

Every expert has told people to keep a 6 foot distance between oneself and others, yet they crowd up on each other. I went to the gun store to buy ammo and idiots were crowding up asking questions as I stood back a proper distance.

A relative of mine complained to me that when he was stocking a Walmart aisle with his company's product too many people crowded in that one aisle for several minutes. He got frustrated and left the aisle.

I would stay home more, but my work requires me to still work.
 

"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.

My work requires me to go into hospitals. The hospitals are checking temperatures before letting anyone enter. I think retailers like Walmart should do the same. Screen people before letting them enter. It is madness that only 10 people can go into Bass Pro Shop in my area, but hundreds can go in Walmart.

Mask and a sanitizing process can keep you safe. I was thinking of a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and keeping paper towels.
 

"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.

I'll be honest, the 6-ft radius doesn't do much since the virus, if sneezed or coughed in the air can travel much farther than 6-ft. Every sneeze has between 20 - 30 million possible bacteria/virus/germ particals in them. Our immune system is quite good at defeating most. The COVID-19 virus would travel in the air until it hits something to stick to. Similar to other viruses, germs and bacterium. What everyone needs to do is continously wash there hands after touching a surface that other people have touched immediately after and NOT touch their face. Use your inner shirt around your neck if you have an itch. Thumb on the outside, push in and use the inner side of the shirt.

Yeah, I formed that shirt habit when I was a teenager due to acne. Touching my face with my hand often meant a new pimple. So, I would use the inside of my shirt.

Every night at 8 p.m. everyone in the nation goes to their windows and balconies for about 10 minutes of applause for all of the health care professionals and other workers (police, military) fighting hard to stem the tide. It's a beautiful thing. Every single night. It's a great demonstration of nationalism and support and it gives me proper perspective...I'm stuck at home watching TV, but there are men and women risking their lives to fight this thing.
Making beauty !
