"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This is just a totally random question i thought of while watching final destination. I tried to put in terms of a real life situation. So i ask, if you saw a stranger dying would you try and help them even if it meant putting your own life at potential risk. For example if someone was drowning, or a fire lets say. I know it would be easy to say "yes or course i would help them", but if you were actualy in that situation i am curious as to what your instinct would tell you. Me personally i dont know what i would do, my first thought is i would try and get help, but there may not be time for that. I remember in psychology class years ago, mentioning something about this human mechanisnm, and how it is in our nature to help that person even if we do not know them , or something along those lines. Anyways yah h id like to hear some thoughts
 

"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.

You also have to rationalize IF your even able to help the person in trouble in the first place. Everyone wants to be the hero but dont have the skills to actually do anything for that person.

Case in point: Week ago.....2 guys went to the beach after a semi hurricane (Didnt hit us) the waves were pretty big compared to normal.

First guy gets to far and gets caught by the riptide and starts freaking out, 2nd guy goes out after him to help......
The 2ND guy as in the guy that went to help his friend...DIED while the first guy is in the hospital. The 2nd guy wasnt in physical shape to help his friend AND have enough strength to swim against the riptide with another person.
