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.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Regulated to the garage for his mancave... Geez

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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
"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.
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.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

You know so much about this guy's situation, I'm wondering if he is indeed you. lul

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