"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.

many of you may not be aware, but on march 31st , comic relief was in a horrible wreck and was trapped in his car and badly hurt. the area he lives in had snow and he must have hit a patch of black ice and skidded the center line which caused him to wreck with a milk tanker. firefighters had to cut him from his car. he was life flighted into the hospital.
i have seen the pictures and i can not believe he is alive. there are more than a dozen people standing over his car trying to get him out.
the vehicle - omg!

thankfully he is alive.
he has a slew of injuries including:
right leg - broken ankle, smashed petella (knee cap), and fractured femur
left arm - open fracture of the radius and ulna and severed tendons in my pinkie, ring, and middle fingers

and you know what... he was able to walk 70 feet today, he had some stitches in his arm removed and last night he posted a picture with a big smile even though he is in tremendous pain.


please keep this thread going and chime in with all of your get well wishes and feel better things. let us keep our brother in good spirits because he needs us too.

as soon as i can figure out how to post pictures on here - i will post some.


comic- i hope you aren't in pain from walking today. eat everything they bring you - you need strength to recover. rest up because tomorrow you have more pt therapy.
 

"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.

Thank you for posting this penkitten, everything she said is quite true. My typing skills are severely limited because of only being able to use one hand. I appreciate you writing this up for me Penkitten.

Isn't that how you normally type anyway? :whistle:

Get better man. Been there (only not as severely injured as you, but close...) it gets better with time. Follow the doctors orders along with therapy.

the best part is that there is no brain injury, spinal injury, or head injuries.

Get well soon! Your incredible endurance will only serve to boost your resilience in these tough moments.
 

"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.

"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.

Eat well and move as much as you can, as soon as you can!! Start strengthening as soon as it is safe. Glad you are ok and alive.
 

"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 was able to accomplish 3X100 ft walks with a walker yesterday. The physical therapists say that I am ahead of schedule for where they want me to be. :rockon:

Comic Relief,


Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you're still here to "tell the tale"---and I believe THAT is no "accident".

Looks like you've got quite a lot left to accomplish down here, soldier.

But first------rest up, follow the Doctor's orders, and "pace" yourself.

Your life's mission will wait whatever time that's necessary in order for you to heal and report back for duty.


Special Note:

Let binge-watching your favorite TV shows on Netflix be a worthy-enough mission for for you for now, bro'. :rockon:

Much PEACE and RESPECT to you.
