"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.
What is your thought on Cindy Sheehan?

"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."
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.

She made a point to speak with Bush then said I guess it is OK that I don't speak with him. If you want something, stick to your guns.

ofcorse they are gona send you to the front line if they need you. that's what millitary is, you know, killing and such. I'm sorry she lost her son but, she needs to quit wining.

Thats my thoughts exactly. Her son was an adult, he made the voluntary decision to join the military which entails you might have to go to combat and you could die anytime. Nobody forced him to do it. You can't whine in such a situation as much as I feel bad for her that her son died. He voluntarily joined knowing the risks and rewards.Originally posted by spider_007
you sign up for military, what do you expect- a picnick.

Then why did he re-enlist?

And, why is she front page news, day after day after day?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She wanted to talk to Bush about was Casey's life worth it in light of these developments she learned since her first visit.

If that's true then why did he re-enlist?? That would indicate to me that he believed in the cause. In fact, he voluntarily chose to go on the fatal rescue mission which took his life.
I think her son was a very brave man. I think she is quite nuts. A very bad representation of the anti-war movement.

Regardless, she already met with Bush, but you wouldn't know it from media reports.
And why does she get so much press?
There are Mother's out there who lost their son's who support the war, yet they don't get any air time or ink like Sheehan does.
And what about the Downing Street Memo's?
The so-called Smoking Gun turned out to be a big bunch of nothing.

"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.

Who cares if the President's ratings slightly dip because of her? Bush is and still will be President. I'm not a democrat or a Republican, and I don't take sides because I am very conservative in some respects and open-minded/liberal in others. Chris Rock has a great quote about this, but I forget what he said...
...anyway, didn't her husband divorce her? Don't her other children refuse to visit her anymore, and disapprove of her recent actions? Seriously, what is the point of this charade? What is she trying to accomplish...okay, Bush apologizing to her son? So what, he'll still be 6ft deep.
Her son was an adult, and even if he died for a cause that she (or even if he) didn't believe in, he enlisted knowing he could die. I support the troops 100% and it was unfortunate that he died, but death is a reality in war...and there are so many other mothers that do not make the front page news for losing their sons...there are so many others affected by this war...(I personally know a few)
What's more unfortunate than her son's death is that she is still dragging this on and on...just let him rest in peace. She's basically saying her son died for something he didn't believe in...how wrong is that? Seriously, let it rest, and allow others to believe he died for freedom (at least have some respect for your own son...imo, she's a bit selfish)
