Bananas are also yellow.You do know that smoking makes the pill not work, right? It also happens from secondhand smoke for women who have to work around smokers in bars and restaurants.
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.

It is easily one of the most relevant and beautiful documents of its kind in the world, alongside the Magna Carta, the Cyrus cylinder and others.The worry would be under this system is that the constitution is hundreds of years old, it’s like basing your life on a book written thousands of years ago ;-)

Those rallies never have the best girls, either, so it's like going to a bargain bin at the dollar store.If you’re a closet conservative dude going to these pro choice rallies just to get poon tang….
you’re selling your soul.
Your point is very valid.even things like snuff movies and minor abuse etc?
You can’t legalise things on the basis they’re going to happen anyway.
I am pro choice (but also pro shame, it’s not something to be proud of) but I had the same thought as you recently, and after much thought I realised that the fact things happen shouldn’t qualify it to being decriminalised.
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.
I never even stated if I was pro life or pro choice just that I believe in the need of federal government. States can change from left to right as well.I’m replying directly to your post, left as an exercise for the reader.
I saw stats where poor women are having kids despite abortion access. It's single women making $47k+ a year getting abortions. I suspect the only change really will be the women between those two groups will be more proactive in using birth control with the loss of their failsafe.The economic cost of banning abortion is in the billions. We're all going to pay, because religious nutballs control the Supreme Court. Abortion bans keep women from working and paying taxes, and they end up taking more in social services instead of contributing to the economy.
But everyone here wants more of their tax dollars to go to welfare, right? That's what our Taliban of a Supreme Court is accomplishing.
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.
Why wouldn't they? It's free money for 18 years and they are poor.I saw stats where poor women are having kids despite abortion access. It's single women making $47k+ a year getting abortions.

How does banning abortion give men equal say?Like Rollo tomassi says:
Abortion is the last fail-safe of hypergamy.
Men will now have a say, équal footing on the master.
Abortion wasnt abolish but left To thé state level
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.
I wouldn’t call it equal yet, but when an abortion becomes less available and more restrictive for a female to get based on where she lives, i.e., like having to travel out of state, I think more women than before will want to have the talk with baby daddy for his input beforehand instead of it being a her only decision…How does banning abortion give men equal say?
Pretty much.I wouldn’t call it equal yet, but when an abortion becomes less available and more restrictive for a female to get based on where she lives, i.e., like having to travel out of state, I think more women than before will want to have the talk with baby daddy for his input beforehand instead of it being a her only decision…
Many people choose the path of least resistance first.
So to be clear- the argument is that women are aborting babies that the baby daddy wants her to keep?I wouldn’t call it equal yet, but when an abortion becomes less available and more restrictive for a female to get based on where she lives, i.e., like having to travel out of state, I think more women than before will want to have the talk with baby daddy for his input beforehand instead of it being a her only decision…

The facts are that in the past his opinion and wants were not considered or asked for.So to be clear- the argument is that women are aborting babies that the baby daddy wants her to keep?
What percentage of unplanned pregnancies would you say are when the man wants to keep the baby and woman does not as opposed to vice versa?The facts are that in the past his opinion and wants were not considered or asked for.
It was a her only decision granted by easy access. Men will likely have more of a say now, personally and/or through their votes…
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
