OMG not again bro...you did the same 6 months ago and it became you against the world for 5 pages...A republic is a democracy…
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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.
All things you just wrote is incorrect.Republics are democracies. Another name for republic is representative democracy. Whether you elect the President directly or indirectly the people are still voting in an election.
It is we who elect the corrupt government. The last major non-COVID-19 fiscal legislation passed in the USA was a blatant redistribution of tax burden from the rich to the middle class. It was called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.There is no we here. I don't do this and most people on this forum don't either.
There is a corrupt govenrment, that is currently in power, giving perks to corporations and cartels, and fvcking us over in the process.
ye, he never gives up. He must always be right no matter what the price is lolOMG not again bro...you did the same 6 months ago and it became you against the world for 5 pages...
Yes, I am committed to the truth.ye, he never gives up. He must always be right no matter what the price is lol![]()

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 would pay money to see him at 50 arguing with his wife, he is probably the only man on earth that can handle and fight back a middle aged angry woman on her battleground without getting mentally sick.ye, he never gives up. He must always be right no matter what the price is lol![]()
No sir you are 100% wrong:
What we have witnessed is a common false dichotomy fallacy. @RickTheToad is essentially arguing that a Chevrolet Camaro is not actually a car because it is a coupe. Whether the democracy is structured as direct or representative republic, the people still exercise their power of self-governance through voting in an election.

Is the United States a Republic or a Democracy?
The United States of America is governed as a federal republic, and therefore some argue that the U.S. is not a democracy. Learn more about the government of the US.www.worldatlas.com

America Is a Republic, Not a Democracy
Contrary to popular belief, America is not, nor was it meant to be, a pure democracy. America is a republic. Nevertheless, more and more voices today are calling for America to become a direct democracy.www.heritage.org
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
The problem is that we don't have a government of The People for The People. We have a government of the elites, for the elites that is showing itself to be very authoritarian under the current guy.It is we who elect the corrupt government. The last major non-COVID-19 fiscal legislation passed in the USA was a blatant redistribution of tax burden from the rich to the middle class. It was called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Authoritarian would be getting impeached twice for trying to keep oneself in power against the will of the people.The problem is that we don't have a government of The People for The People.

Gas prices are supply and demand. That is literally the opposite of socialism.It's the people in government who are responsible for this. Gas is suddenly two bucks a gallon more because the government gave away our energy independence to OPEC. That isn't in the best interests of the people
It's not just the tax burden, it's the price of everyday goods and the size of your savings
Real socialism is achieved when the bankrupt government has annhilated your savings, your arms and your rights.
You must have misspelled mate.BLACK MARKETS MATTER!

With @EyeBRollin, it's standard (and entertaining) on the forum.Ignorance is bliss I suppose?![]()
Your truth lolYes, I am committed to the truth.
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.
Whatever you say dude. You're always right.

Well I suppose somebody has to be the jester of this forum for the entertainment of others xD lol
Humans consume and waste way too much resources, just look at how much water is used for cheap clothing and all the microplastics that pollute the sea as a result.Overpopulation is a myth. The global birth rate is barely above replacement. It’s far below replacement among developed countries.
The problem is the modern society has evolved to create a system that rewards the financial system at the expense of producing tangible goods. Wealthier countries simply don’t build anything.
Fortunately water and biomass are both renewable.Humans consume and waste way too much resources, just look at how much water is used for cheap clothing and all the microplastics that pollute the sea as a result.
Only 3% of all land on earth has little or no human footprint, more than 50% of earths biomass has gone extinct only in the last few decades.
