"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Curious what the pro-mask forum members (in the U.S.) think of these pro-mask advocates?

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

N95 masks work pretty well for the wearer. A cartridge respirator is the only sure thing. The government would tell the most at risk people to wear them, but then everyone would panic buy and the supply would disappear overnight. Surgical and cloth masks are only if you want to be socially responsible. They don't help you at all as safety equipment. I only wear them when forced. If I am worried about covid, I wear an n95.

These people are grifters, just like every other marxist out there. They don't care about the things they claim to care about, or truth for that matter, they just want power and will say absolutely anything to get it.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Surgeons wear those masks for 10-12 hours a day, they have been used for centuries and they clearly serve their purpose.

I wear an N95, but I take it off whenever I go to a face licking festival.

Just hold your breath, and you'll be good. I still have the habit of doing that when passing people in public. My biggest risk from covid is passing out from not breathing enough and hitting my head on the floor.

Anyway I don't think you need to wear masks outside unless it's a photo op of course.

The clever but not nearly covered enough "My mask protects you and your mask protects me" is the reasoning for mask wearing. I worked in a hospital with a large HIV+ population and we had a fair number of people with tuberculosis stop by from time to time. They spent most of their time in a negative pressure room to reduce the risk of airborne spread BUT when they did leave the room they wore a simple surgical mask to protect us in the rest of the world from their droplets. Same principle applies except there are many more COVID patients than TB patients as of current.
 

"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.

Where I am, there´s not a choice. If you don´t wear a mask indoors you will get told off by security and the stare of disapproval from people around you. But when your eating, drinking or smoking you can take it off and that´s what people do most of the time. It´s also become normal to take it off outside, which I do.

How much difference does it really make? I don´t know, but if it makes even a small bit of difference it´s probably worth it. In any case I´m vaccinated so I don´t feel like I need to worry too much.

Every single person on the planet will be exposed to the virus. Mask or no mask. You will either be symptomatic or Asymptotic.
Yes, that´s probably true. If you´re vaccinated it´s far more likely to be asymptomatic. However, wearing masks will slow down the spread which helps give time for people to get vaccinated (those that want or need to). Slowing the spread down also allows hospitals to cope. If hospitals run out of beds or oxygen, then a lot of people will die that didn´t need to.

Study just came out revealing blue disposable masks are only 12% effective in a lab setting. Real world takes it to 0%. An N95 a bit more effective in lab, but not in real world as demonstrated in Germany.
