"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.

Not sure how many have seen this but this guy definitely conducted himself very well as well as the reporter.
You could see the initial fear by the anchor woman and the reporter as he was approaching initially. But the guy got out his message effectively in a non-confrontational manner. He then told everyone that can relate that he has a family. I just felt this guy did a good and effective job at getting his communication across. It has nothing to do with girls but but I think he exemplifies how guys should conduct themselves and act. Be stern but fair.

 

"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.

Yup. Except for the surface contact part. That is not the problem. It's airborne and that's why his restaurant needs to limit seating...or close.

Yet you see alcohol, sanitizers, wipes sold out everywhere...

I'm not even allowed to sign my credit card receipts anymore. It's either contactless or they give me a new sanitized pen from the new jar...

I have no problem with people washing and sanitizing their hands more. It was a good idea before and will continue to be one. If people want to stop handshaking I'm all for it as well.

But it's not going to stop COVID. Only nature is going to do that I guess.
 

"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.

I'd better get my comment in here before a mod decides to lock this posting and future conversation within.

I'm glad this video was shared.
We are now in an era of normally only receiving one side of a story. The reporter deserves credit as well - for encouraging a point of view that didn't necessarily seem to mirror the news story narrative.
I miss the days when balanced reporting and journalism was the standard.
