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.
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.
99% of cops aren't bad. Unfortunately, the 1% are the ones that make the news, and the hivemind laps that sh*t up, like good sheep are supposed to do.yungballa said:Of course, not all cops are bad.
Let me ask you something. Suppose I know for a fact that co-worker killed another person, or that a friend of mine molested a child in front of me. Am I wrong for not reporting that?yungballa said:Bloodthirsty cops. Of course, not all cops are bad.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I would say, yes, you are. However, how can you even assume that all cops know about the VERY RARE occurrences of illegal activity with other cops?Maximus Rex said:Let me ask you something.

Because they do. They either hear the rumors witness it personally. Also, there's this thing call Youtube! You might have heard of it. You can watch any video with police abuse going on there's usually more than one officer on the scene.speed dawg said:I would say, yes, you are.

F*ck are you talking about? Who said anything about conspiracies, victim mentalities, or imaginary audiences? You're the one going off topic and making up sh*t.speed dawg said:It's not some crazy conspiracy. People with a victim mentality love to invent imaginary audiences.
What are you rambling about? I'm talking about the cultural of brutality, corruption, and murder that exists in police departments across America, and you bring up something that doesn't even nothing to do what's being discussed.speed dawg said:Nobody really cares that much about you, me or the next guy. Black life or not. YOU DON'T MATTER.
People like who?speed dawg said:but people like you
An advantage as it pertains to what? Who mentioned, said, or insinuated anything about "gaining an advantage?speed dawg said:are just trying to gain an advantage.
When the police are involved, no I'm not in control of my life.speed dawg said:but you are admitting that you are not in control of your own life.
What was your worst experience with a cop from which you felt you were mistreated?Maximus Rex said:Because they do. They either hear the rumors witness it personally.

Also, where do think that this term "blue wall of silence," comes from. It's from this f*cked up philosophy that cops are never suppose to snitch on cops what makes culture of brutality and corruption even possible.

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.
That's pretty real... I grew up in a pretty ghetto area and your neighbors are more likely to rob, jump, mug, and even kill than any cop that I know of. Especially in areas like Compton or Chicago where crime is stupid high. Gangs are a real thing, in fact you're more likely to be killed BY your gang members.Tenacity said:I don't care what anybody says, the facts speak for themselves.
And the facts are that as a black man, I am STILL way more likely to be killed by Lil Ray Ray, Pookie, or Tyquesha's Baby Daddy, then any supposed "bad/evil" Cop on a routine traffic stop.
This does not mean that there aren't some Cops that are out of control, there are a lot of Cops that are out of control and better policies/procedures need to be implemented to combat this issue.
But as a minority (a black man), I'm being told by Black Lives Matter people that my biggest enemy today is an evil Cop. That's bull____.
My biggest enemies are Lil Ray Ray, Pookie, and Tyquesha's Baby Daddy. They are the ones killing "their black brothas and sistas" left and right, with a significant portion of those killed being basic, innocent, everyday Americans like the little girl shot doing her homework a couple weeks ago.
Say what you want Rex, this is the truth and Pro-Blacks like you refuse to admit the truth because it doesn't fit your narrative of "the evil white man" is coming to get me. It's funny how the "evil white man" is always coming to get you HOWEVER:
- You still get up and go to a job supplied by that evil white man
- You still use credit supplied by that evil white man
- You still go to a College that's ran by that evil white man
- You are using an internet that was created (and supported) by that evil white man
- You are driving cars (or who knows, you might be using public transportation lol, but nevertheless) supplied by that evil white man
- You are eating food that is farmed, killed, processed, by that evil white man
The evil white man is out to get you, but you get over 90% of your basic living requirements from this evil white man. How in the hell does that make sense lol?
Correct, you go out into a lot of these areas that are mostly white but the area is a low income area, you usually see Fathers in the home for the most part (even though they aren't making that much money), the families are usually together to some extent and the crime rates in the area are usually low or MUCH lower than in the inner cities.Danger said:I think you were right on everything Skyline, except for this. There is tremendous poverty in rural areas outside of the cities, but much less crime.
Also, during the Great Depression from 1929-1933 crime actually went Down.Danger said:I think you were right on everything Skyline, except for this. There is tremendous poverty in rural areas outside of the cities, but much less crime.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Lol not at all. I'm pretty content with life actually.backbreaker said:jaylan you have to got to be the most depressed mother****er on the face of the earth man lol
Hush your mouth, boy. You are A number 1 thread-killa when it comes to this.Jaylan said:Some people really are stuck on their own self serving comments regarding politics and race, rather than discuss the facts of this case. Says a whole bunch when someone has to do the mental run around in such a manner.
Is it that hard to discuss the main topic and facts of the case rather than looking for some way to rationalize or minimize the possible wrong doing of the agents of government in the video? Apparently topical discussion is that hard.
