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.
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.
Could be. His net worth is around 12 million.He looks pretty good for 93.
Maybe they're getting married so she can inherit his pension? I have no idea how it works.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I don't think buzz cares... as long as he gets his needs met, it's only money. Can't take it with you after all...Gold digger
It’s sad tho. Knowing she’s only with him to feed off his carcass when he’s goneI don't think buzz cares... as long as he gets his needs met, it's only money. Can't take it with you after all...
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.
She's 63 (only 30 years younger) and a medical doctor. She probably has a decent nest egg even without Buzz Aldrin.Gold digger
I'm sure he's fine with her going down on him while he watches matlock (or whatever old people are watching now) while yelling at kids to get off his lawn. Wouldn't we all be so lucky at such an old age. hahahahahahIt’s sad tho. Knowing she’s only with him to feed off his carcass when he’s gone
Old people want what they want. Maybe his values do not align with escorts, but do with large age gap marriages with a younger bride that seems somewhat intelligent. I don't fault the man.If he's fine with the transactional nature of it, I don't see why he wouldn't just get high dollar escorts. Seems it would still be cheaper, they'd be younger, and not the same one...
Widow pensions can go on for a LONG time.He looks pretty good for 93.
Maybe they're getting married so she can inherit his pension? I have no idea how it works.
That is the reason she said "Yes"Could be. His net worth is around 12 million.
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.
It’s just beginning for Annuitycels.Widow pensions can go on for a LONG time.![]()
Maybe I should start using PensionGame ("at your age, you'll be receiving my SS pension until the 22nd Century")?![]()
