This video came up in my rec. feeds I guess because I was watching some Chris Hogan and Dave Ramsey videos. Unreal that the dude had to partition his garage just to have his own space in their home.
"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.
Regulated to the garage for his mancave... Geez
- Thread starter RickTheToad
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I believe it's a wrong observation. Guy build himself an office in his garage.

No, I believe you are mistaken. He build his garage into an office. I know where this dude lives. It's freakin freezing in the winters and you'll die in the summer. The garage, as with most garages, have no heat and no AC. HE was regulated to the garage. Not a side room, not the basement, not the attack. The garage with no heat or AC. Yes, I am sure wifey gave him a space heater for the winter months.. @backseatjuan, I sometimes wonder about your blue pill conditioning. First, the girlfriend wiping her bottom with your undergarments, now this.. ;'p

I don't see a problem with heat and AC, a split system solves it easily. The guy was not thrown by his wife into garage to live, the guy had himself build an office in his garage in order to save money on renting an actual office. You are mistaking in your observation.
can't he put a ac or a heater on then?
not always what a guy do is because of a woman, maybe he also have kids and want to leave his home for then to sleep then he build a place so he can play or do whatever?
considerating then a guy only do things because of a woman is kinda sad, and even if that is the case, that is his problem, also you should consider he only did this so he could put on youtube and try to get some money from it? strange things happen not alwyas because of woman, a lot of times because of money
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Look at this soyboy beta with the thick framed glasses and soyface. Who the f builds an office in a GARAGE. Thats where alpha stuff like your bad ass car and power tools and projects get setup. Not your soy latte and webcam while then prius is parked outside.

You have a right to your opinion. However, one would argue, he could had built an office in other areas of the home which already have heat and/or AC. Thus, there would no need to spend 2k for a split system and install, and spend another grand or two for another wall edition within the garage. Which, now a car is outside because they lost the use of one garage port for his "office". But, again, you are entitled to your opinion.

You a right to diluted view of reality.

Not really. I think I know a think or two about construction. I was in construction for several years after the military. This was not cost effective at all. He was thrown out of their house and regulated to the garage. Most likely, his half of the garage too.

Very true @Julian. Very true.
"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.

If one has to add a wall, insulation, wood, a split system, loss of one port of the garage so now he has to park outside, etc. How is that cheaper than being inside the home? None of this would had been necessary. He's a pastor too. Doesn't a pastor already have an office at the Church? IDK. This reminds me when Carey from King of Queens regulated Doug to the garage for his mancave.

Why not have an office in the living room, oh no, the kids get in the way! Dang! Why not have an office in a separate room, oh no, strangers would have to enter the house and meet the family, privacy issues! Dang! Looks like garage is the most logical choice!
By the way, he is not a pastor, he does not have a church, he is a motivational speaker.

Well, you are incorrect, as he's a pastor at Two Cities Church (https://twocities.church/). As for the location, they have these things called den's, attics, and basements. Just something to consider.

"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.

I don't believe so. However, you never see them kissing too much. Then again, it was show back in the 90s.
