Ah, right. Let as many people die as possible... good call.
"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.
So I Caught the COVID. Do I Quit my High Risk Job?

"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.
Ok heretic

Sorry to hear man. Glad you're doing better.
You might get it again. Vaccine or not. Just use the fact that you have it now, you know how it feels and you know what it causes you to miss out on. Are those things worth missing out on? If they are, then quit your job. If they're not, don't quit. But you've got to come up with your own formula/algorithm for deciding which risk level to accept. Personally, I think personal anecdote supplemented by what experts are saying is your best route.

While I'm not anti-vaccine, I also think it's a mistake to uncritically listen to the advice of health professionals. They often have their own agenda. A perfect example of this is public health "experts" like Dr. Fauci and his counterparts in other countries discouraging people from wearing masks in early days of the pandemic (remember how they said that wearing a mask may actually make things worse because you touch it with your hands, and then touch your face afterwards?) They knew damn well that wearing a mask was a good idea but they were worried that telling people the truth would cause a run on the market and create a shortage of PPE for hospital workers. In other words, they deliberately mislead the public because they felt that protecting hospital workers was more important than protecting the average Joe. Without a doubt, some people have died by listening to this “advice”.
"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.
