"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

What health care provider do you use.

"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.

Holy crap! I'm not so sure on that one. I've only heard of "Cobra" being something that you can sign on for if you aren't getting one through an employer or govt assistance route.

Commenting in an @eli77 thread cures me every time

In a world that's unpredictably crazy, you want a place that's predictably crazy.

I have Blue Cross Complete through State medicare, which is 100% free for me. The website is awful for finding care but the coverage itself is amazing. Zero copays and deductibles - covers all medical and dental, ambulances, prescriptions, and just normal checkups/preventative care. Literally have never paid a dime.

In my experience I can qualify for it even when I'm employed, but I think there's an income limit. If you're self employed it's pretty easy to get away with it, they don't really verify income.

From what I know, Priority Health and Aetna are pretty sh*tty.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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 think Personify? I’m having to use Claude Cowork to get through the maze of these insurance portals.

How long have you been with them?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Cobra is what you are able to get after you get fired or let go by an employer if you want to continue under that health insurance for a period of time and pay out of pocket.

Essentially, you have to start paying the employer portion of what was being covered for your health insurance which is usually like 70-80+% a month of the total, on top of the 20-30% you paid as the employee for the portion you were responsible for.

It's ridiculously expensive so I'm not sure why anyone would.
