"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

"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.
