"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.

Persistence Hunt: Running for meat.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

that's a stupid assumption, dude. what we mostly ate, (what flesh food we DID eat, that is) back in the day, was carrion and what we could drive other animals off of, after THEY killed it. just as packs of wild dogs do to this day. You cant be risking failure, burning so many calories, risking injury, that often. It just won't pan out. Mostly, primitives foraged for edible plants, with some fish, reptiles, amphibs,and some insects in the mix.

What about the native Americans hunting bison? All parts of the Bison were used for so many different things in the tribe. Hunting Bison was important to them and they did it often.

What assumption? Do you mean how we hunted before weapons? I didn't assume this, it was said in the video.

Also, eating carrion is not hunting. The video isn't saying that this is how early man first got his meat, it is saying that back before we had developed weapons capable for hunting these animals, we ran them down.
 

"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.

I can't see how they know in the video how we hunted animals back then. I'd think it would be easier for pre-weapon humans to scavenge. Or chase away a tired predator after a long hunt to steal their prey. Using intelligence, that would be the most efficient way to get nutrient dense food. Until of course they developed ways to do so easier (weapons).

Anyway, that's only an educated guess, I can be wrong.
