"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.

The US is too cool to be like the rest of the world. They're special. Honest.
 

"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.

My biggest complaint is that I grew up solely with the metric system, but we still use SI for a lot of things.

Actaully, SI is another name for the metric system.

I think you mean to contrast SI/metric units with customary/imperial units.

Actually, unless my memory mistakes me, SI is an international standard of measurements used in science and engineering. Depending on what you are measuring (i.e., rotational force, energy, volume, work, momentum, temperature, etc...) you use a certain unit of measurment (i.e. joules, grams, newtons, kelvins, cm, etc...) not exclusively metric. It just so happens most SI units are metric.

Though I will admit, I could be wrong.

Many Americans do use the metric system virtually every day, especially those in public schools. There, they learn vital knowledge regarding the proper methods of measuring and paying for grams and ounces. :rolleyes:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

The reason its still around is because its always been around. It's just easier to keep it than to ask EVERYONE to change it.


But I got to admit. I thik it's a horrible system with all those fractions. Decimals are easir to make sense of than: What's bigger? 3/5 or 9/16?

Duuhhhhh.........



I'm stll thinking.

3/5 ;)

It just depends what you've grown up with. The systems each person has grown up with have become second nature, it's difficult to curb habits that are built into your brains hardware.

The term for the system used in the USA is the 'US customary units' based on the old English Imperial System.

The International System incorporates the metric amongst other things.

We have it f*** up in the UK, as we use both.
