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.
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.
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.
Every once in a while I discover a new p0rno gem that makes me want to fap repeatedly the same day; it subsides after a few days.3 times a day is excessive. You have a problem.
How is your prostate health?Porn and masturbation are unhealthy habits. I don't want to write at length about it here. Below is the major source about this topic.
Your Brain On Porn
Curious about the latest research on internet porn's effects? Your Brain on Porn looks at teh science and the lived experience of people consuming internt pornographywww.yourbrainonporn.com
I live a no porn, no masturbation lifestyle and have been doing it for nearly 10 years.
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.
It's OVER for LemurIncels.There is no established health consequences from doing it. Primates do it regularly.
I literally was at a zoo once about 10 years ago when my then young daughter asked me why the Lemur was moving his hand up and down so fast. I can't remember what I said but in my mind I was crying with laughter.
I wasn't sure if those blisters I had on my willy were from too much masturbation or something I got from the sisters I picked up at the bus station downtown.
Regardless, I can't seem to rub them off.

Hey man did you notice a very obvious increase in attention you get from girls while retaining?I am not a doctor or something like that, but talking about myself: I feel pretty different (more confident, receiving more girl's looks while walking on the street, etc) without doing this.
I've read somewhere that masturbation and pornography also affect erection.
Avoid it.
I didn't have a gf since i masturbating too much. SO It can be about smellingIt's draining your life source dude.. That semen your spilling is powerful.
Try retaining for a couple of weeks.. I promise you will feel awesome, very much in control.. Your energy and focus will be super high & you will feel super motivated to actually talk to girls and smash for real.
And for some reason I don't fully understand yet... Girls will check you out more, talk to you, and even stare at you.
It's like they can smell that testerone.
No problem.. You must have huge wrists lolI didn't have a gf since i masturbating too much. SO It can be about smellingThank you all guys.
I found nofap and I'll do that.
Hey bro.Hey man did you notice a very obvious increase in attention you get from girls while retaining?
Same here.. Especially in my first 2-3 weeks.. Was quite baffling.Hey bro.
Yes. Crazy sh*t.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
