"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.

Timothy McVeigh and the Unibomber Ted K. Also struggled with women.
The only mass murderer (I include serial killers in this category) who I can recall that was any kind of Chaddish was Ted Bundy.

EDIT: Here's a guy that was Chaddish enough to go on the Dating Game! It seems that the date he got from that found him creepy, and that might have pushed him over the edge.
A fellow "bachelor" contestant later described Alcala as a "very strange guy" with "bizarre opinions".[10] Alcala won the competition, and a date with "bachelorette" Cheryl Bradshaw, who subsequently refused to go out with him because she found him "creepy".[6][10] Criminal profiler Pat Brown, noting that Alcala killed at least three women after his Dating Game appearance, speculated that this rejection might have been an exacerbating factor. "One wonders what that did in his mind", Brown said. "That is something he would not take too well. [Serial killers] don't understand the rejection. They think that something is wrong with that girl: 'She played me. She played hard to get.'"[10]

What's with the gunshots Before the bomb went off? And cops already there? and the explosion not coming from the RV but probably 30-40 feet from it.

He may have done contract work for at&t previously. Blowing up this one location did expose the vulnerability of their network. Maybe that was his only point.

Right. It could even be a test run for someone else he knew to do the same or worse. According to some info I gathered off of some YT vids, it was a lot more than just mobile phones and internet that went down in TN. One guy an hour outside of the city said that all ATM's in his area were down, gas stations were cash only, grocery stores and convenient stores were also solely reliant on cash transactions. You can see how a lot of people were likely caught off guard and are used to swiping a credit card everywhere, every time with no cash on hand. Another guy said that service was down in 7 states. The service technicians aren't as quick to respond during the holidays, likely enjoying drinks at home like me, extending the grid down period. All because of one fkn hit.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
