Just post what kind of severe weather you have in your state. And you can say what you deal with on a day to day basis.
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.
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.
What happened with that storm that was over there. Did it hit LA?Marvin Gaye said:CALIFORNIA BABY !!!!
It get's severely cloudy sometimes. HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're you there for the blizzard of 96?Mike32ct said:We don't have much severe weather in Connecticut.
Blizzards happen sometimes during the winter.
Hurricanes or tropical storms maybe every 5 or 10+ years.
That's about it.
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.

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
That was bad.Mike32ct said:Yes.
I love Florida just to visit.:cheer:Deep Dish said:I live in Florida, the lightning capitol of the states. And I live in the lightning alley of Florida. The narrow corridor between Tampa and Titusville has thunderstorms 100 days out of the year.
And then, of course, there was the year with six hurricanes, with four in five weeks. Hurricanes always ruin your weekend plans, never your work schedule.
or last year when we had that ice storm .... that thing sucked. Not to mention all these tornado warnings recently.Mike32ct said:We don't have much severe weather in Connecticut.

LOL not sure if srsBible_Belt said:This year we had the worst drought in at least 55 years. Last year we had a 100-year flood and killer tornadoes.
The arctic icecap is almost entirely gone in summer now. The drastic weather is only going to get worse.

What?:woo:Deep Dish said:The only remaining vestige of legitimate scientific disagreement about if global warming/climate change is anthropogenic, above and beyond the natural cycles, concerns clouds. If carbon emissions by humans heat up the atmosphere, the dissenting argument follows, then there should be more clouds, cooling the earth back down. If this clouds argument is falsified then we are all fücked.
The cities that have it worse are Miami and New Orleans:box:OzyBoy said:Maybe a bad thunderstorm and lots of rain. I have experienced a hail storm before where it looked like it had been snowing in the middle of summer.![]()
