"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Do you think sports betting has exploded because sexless men need the excitement of it to replace the conquest of poon they are missing?

I was reading this, and it got me interested:
my opinion: Sure, there is p0rn, and today's interactive p0rn experience (e.g., Chaturbate & OnlyFans :rolleyes: ) blows away dirty magazines and even filmed p0rn of old, and there are video games (even p0rn-simulation games :rolleyes:), but sports has the inherent aspect of conquest. Also, I guess a side effect of the incelibacy is that men have a lot of disposable income.
 

"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.

I can see how this idea makes sense. 28% of 18+ men have no sex in a given calendar year. Those are the worst of the worst cases. Then there are men who have no consistent partner and inconsistent sex. That probably takes the number of near sexless men up past 35%.

Married people are even having less sex than they once did.


"When looking only at married people, the drop was even sharper — from around 73 times a year in 1990 to around 55 in 2014."

"Among married couples under the age of 60, 26% had sex once a month or less in 2021. In 1989, it was 12%…"

Ever since they have gotten involved in sports betting, the guys have become insufferable. They literally lack a soul now and every ounce of free time is spent or shared with that hobby. I feel sorry for any woman sucker enough to date them lol.

Play sports, don't watch them.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

To an extent, yes. But this definitely applies to video games. Most men are not winning in life, reaching their potential, or being the men their families and communities deserve, or worse, they themselves deserve.

They have been deceived and given the false sense of winning at anything through video games. It's the only way for some men to feel successful often seen as escapism from their regular meaningless lives. It's a sad epidemic to see in modern times.

No.

It exploded because of fantasy sports and because it's now legal in most states in the US. Simplest reason is usually the right reason.

No need to try and overthink this and correlate it to random things.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Common sense tells that while some people would do it illegally, far more will do it once it's legal

possible, but also would be more willing to share, no one is really open to his vices, even more if is considered illegal or a bad thing, with an air of "legality" people are more willing to be open.

just think on whole weed thing, more people now are willing to say they do it since its kinda legal, when in most cases they would just hide it

course like you mentioned easy access always ease things, but I don't think it would be as big as they say
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
