"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.

'Playboy' makes history with first openly gay cover star, Bretman Rock

"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.

I’m beginning to suspect that most of the population is gay. Marketing 101 is that you want to appeal to the largest amount of people as possible. So logically they wouldn’t be marketing to gays unless they were a large percentage.

Must've been a lot of down low folks and behind the scenes living double lives.

Why is it everytime we have something Woke like this, the article is written by a Jewish person?
 

“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.

A minority of the population is gay, but showing support to it doesn't appeal just to gay people. A large amount of straight people support others being gay, even though they're not gay themselves.

It's just Playboy showing that they accept homosexuality in order to appeal to people who support gays, and that they do not condemn homosexuality or exclude gay people.

It's probably not going to be a frequent thing, just something to show off how accepting and diverse Playboy is once in a while. I think this helps them appeal to more people, not because so many people are gay, but because more and more people accept it into our culture.

I'm one of those pro-gay progressives who likes it when businesses and other entities are pro-gay. I don't mind gays at work, at school, at the bar, on the court, at my church, on my television, and in my home.

But in porno mags? Come on man! Are some things not sacred?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

maybe people will stop reading it then
I do not think Playboy, as a magazine is still relevant. I think they stopped the magazine production last year and are just marketing the brand as a lifestyle brand. Not too sure how putting a tranny or gay being on the cover is attracting more dudes or straight females to their brand, but whatever.

We now have pronouns on our intake forms for patients (his/her/he/his/etc). I am not sure exactly what they are, but I'm sure a society reset is not too far off in the future. These people need medical help, not Playboy coverage.

Right? It’s like joking at a funeral. Just doesn’t fit
 

"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.

Are we sure this guy is gay?
:)

So are you saying when a great comedian like George Burns or Don Rickles dies, no one makes a joke?
Ever see video of Graham Chapman's funeral (of Monty Python fame)? His old writing partner John Cleese eulogized him, and said some of the most terrible things about him. Everybody laughed. It seemed so appropriate for him, and oddly touching.

Monty Python later did an appearance being interviewed by Robert Klein, and they brought out an urn with Chapman's "ashes" in it. Of course the ashes ended up getting spilled and vacuumed up off the carpet. You could say it was in bad taste, but it was funny. I have to guess Chapman would have enjoyed it.

Still better than one of those fat women covered in tats.

I have no sexual interest toward either but at least this guy is not repulsive to be seen.

No... this is just wokeness infecting another company.

Get woke, go broke. Although it's not like commies actually care about making money, they just want power and will destroy everything in order to achieve it.

Yes, that sounds like a sketch the troupe would have done!
