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.
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 think you're misinterpreting his vibe, to me he comes off as not too subtly playing a character in many of his videos. In one of them where he seems more candid, he says he is pretty much an average guy. Not heard him claim he is top of the shelf.Interesting videos, but I'm not sure what good they are supposed to do anyone. Seems to be fairly black pill to me - the girl will go for the guy with the highest LMS. Of course this guy claims to be at or near the top of the food chain "I'll send them home looking like a pair of pregnant mud flaps", whatever that means. I guess he's supposed to be top shelf in looks because I haven't seen him claim to have money or status (except on YouTube maybe).
I enjoy him taking the p!ss out of PUAs, but again, if a guy isn't top shelf, how is this supposed to help him?
I've also noted a similar hypocrisy about cold approaching. But if you cold approach enough women, it stands to reason that you're going to find the one or two that are attracted to you, yes? Not that I really care either way, I'm just trying to see what this guy is really getting at. "I'm a winner, you're a loser"? Seems to me most guys take that attitude, whether they have earned it or not.
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.
Well, I'm not familiar with his channel, so I could well be misunderstanding him. But he was saying that girls go for the top guy, and he was saying he would impregnate these girls, so that's where I drew my conclusion. Maybe he's kidding around, I don't know.I think you're misinterpreting his vibe, to me he comes off as not too subtly playing a character in many of his videos.

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.
lol, what are you talking about dude? regurgitating PUA information? have you watched his videos?To be honest, it is typical Purple Pill content. He is monetising the Red Pill by using a 'character' (like Dr Disrespect of the game streaming world) and regurgitating 20 year old PUA information (or The Rational Male content) to attract a young depressed man demographic. it is nothing new. It is in fact a step backwards. He is not that much different from RSD but at least RSD try to provide content related to self improvement.
Channels like this are what is causing the current fracture in the manosphere. This guy is no different from the 21 Con clowns trying to make a quick buck from branding the term 'Red Pill'. He even has a beard and I bet he smokes cigars and benches 400 lbs, brah.
One thing I do agree on, is to never cold approach.

This is the bit that I don't quite understand about him. I get that he's complaining about hypergamy (although I dislike the way he pronounces it - hyper-GAME-y). So what's his solution? Or is there just no solution, and he's just whining. That, or he's saying that he's set because he's so great, but most guys are just SOL.To be honest, it is typical Purple Pill content.

Yeah, Terrence Popp is the sh!t, late 40s, but man as a Green Beret he's got a lot of stories to tell. Popp has seen some sh!t and persevered the pain, even as a kickboxer. Dude has problems (as do many SEALs) with today's females, and his ex f'd him in the courts, killed his f'n dog. Popp has way more experience than I do, but I can speak almost in his manner because I've got a lot of scary or harsh times experience too, perseverance, determination, survival - of course, much of that walking the tightrope (no f'ing up! or you gone!) took place 10 to 13 years ago but still it's a reference in my mind what I was capable of (not as capable now due to age I'll admit, but still very healthy just my Balance is off/eyesight/hearing).I watched the entire video. He actually makes some very good points. But he is too High strung to be at The top of the male pecking order. I don’t care how high your looks, money, and status are. Top level men do not have such a high strung demeanor. They are much more relaxed. That is part of it. If you want a YouTuber who has the right demeanor to practice what he preaches, look at Terrence Popp.

Yeh, exactly. Hypergamy is evolutionary and biological, there is nothing that can be done about it. So, there is no point in complaining about it.This is the bit that I don't quite understand about him.

You're right, but there's nothing we can do about that either. Protesting and voting sure won't make a difference, as the parasitic underclass has grown to numerable.Public money and welfare paid from beta taxes to feed women who failed to pair bond or find a role in society is not.
lol, "parasitic underclass" that has "grown too numerable". What a fvcking joke.You're right, but there's nothing we can do about that either. Protesting and voting sure won't make a difference, as the parasitic underclass has grown to numerable.
You can expect taxes to steadily rise in the future. And then there's the actual cost of living, which will continue to increase.
Exciting time to be alive!
People that have made poor decisions in life and are now utterly dependent on the support of others.lol, "parasitic underclass" that has "grown too numerable". What a fvcking joke.
