"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.

I am a jazz nut as everyone knows. Was listening to the radio and a song that is a standard called wives and lovers came on. I am sure some of you older people know this song, but some of the younger catgs my age might not. here are the lyrics
Hey! Little Girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you...

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here...

Hey! Little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city and
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love

written at a time when women were considered lucky to have a good man, not the other way around. I got to thinking, man... do you know how much of a ****ing stink this song would get if someone had the nerve to tell a woman that just beucase she is married she isn't supposed to quit putting out, that it's not a "fact of life" Just puts in perspective how times have changed.
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Men had it good back then. I think too many of them didn't appreciate it and abused the privilege of having subservient wives, which led to feminism and emasculation that we see today.

Frank Sinatra's version was much better.
 

"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.

Hey, did you see where that Michael Buble guy quit crooning and went pop?

He is to carry the flag of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!

Instead he gets a gf and turns into cat stevens.

Yeah, but Frank is the textbook definition of Alpha. Sounds better coming from a Man.

Back in the day, Sinatra's **** was nearly as famous as he was. Reportedly, it was so big he had to strap it to the inside of his leg.
