I went to the clinic this morning, I think I'm coming down with something.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
I was wanting to know what you in particular thought about this, since you are into that conspiracy theory moon landing stuff.I went to the clinic this morning, I think I'm coming down with something.
Don't scare him, have pity on those poor doctors each time he wakes up from a nightmare.I was wanting to know what you in particular thought about this, since you are into that conspiracy theory moon landing stuff.
You sound like u r one of those independents that went over due to an offer from a local company.I want to lea
I want to leave now but am waiting for my Feb 15th paycheck.
Oh really?No mistake.
China is teetering on the brink of economic devastation.
The thing they fear most is an uprising.
Army is not big enough to quell the street light dance party.
So, they decided to proactively kill them.
That's why they purposely released it JUST as people were leaving for Lunar New Year.
This also solves the demographic time bomb.
Kill the oldest, sickest, and the working age folk are more of a majority.
From a immoral policy standpoint, this makes perfect sense.
It provides cover, keep people inside and terrified = no riot.
Kills the oldest and the weakest, the most likely to need government assistance as they grow old = no financial cliff.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
By who?Because the numbers are recorded...
Unfortunately the predictions are pretty accurate so far...prediction of infections and deaths:
this is really wild. 100k infections reported by people, probably thousands dead by now. there are some really great videos of people collapsing on sttreets and dying

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.
Authorities, isn't that obvious?By who?
Well, that's chicken feed compared to our normal seasonal flu that infects millions and kills up to 600,000 per year worldwide.Unfortunately the predictions are pretty accurate so far...
really? you learned that today? fear is a nice tool, keep a lot of people in check, see how china control most companys and they pop, if you don't agree with teh goverment no bussiness, if you don't agree with the comunism party jail/ others sanctions, also china don't like news they don't like going on they popOh really?
I always knew that cowardice breeds fear.
However today I learned something new, that extreme fear also lowers one's IQ.
I would think it's the other way around.I always knew that cowardice breeds fear.
This has been known for a long time.However today I learned something new, that extreme fear also lowers one's IQ.
Is that ur excuse?I would think it's the other way around.
Cowardice is a response to fear.
Of course, this could be one of those chicken egg things.
This has been known for a long time.
Nobody thinks rationally under extreme fear.
That's the whole point of the fight or flight response.
Sending all the energy to the muscles for maximum chance of escape.
Several studies have been done to show that one's average Sudoku score, for example, is significantly lowered while being chased by lions, tigers and bears, compared to sitting in a relaxing coffee shop.
Of course, when test subjects are sitting in relaxing coffee shops WITH cute baristas, the Sudoku scores drop back down.
The evidence suggests that fear of baristas is not as large as fear of getting eaten by lions, tigers, and bears.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Excuse for what, specifically?Is that ur excuse?
ngl if u die from wuhan virus spaz will ask the same "is that ur excuse"Excuse for what, specifically?
Wonder how they tested that exactly?Several studies have been done to show that one's average Sudoku score, for example, is significantly lowered while being chased by lions, tigers and bears
Kind of like this, but instead of a cat, it was a dude doing a Sudoku puzzle.Wonder how they tested that exactly?
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.
