"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Anyone here grew up in the 90s? I remember watching this show a lot, though it might be amusing, now looking back it might been a bad influence to a lot of people because it promoted Promiscuity, lack of respect and greed. What do you guys think, if this show never existed, would Society be as better as it is now? Just a thought.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

The long term impact of the 1990s TV show Beverly Hills 90210 is minimal.

There were trashy TV shows that existed before it and after it.

In the 1990s, most of its audience was 1970s-early 1980s born females. It's definitely more of a Gen X show than a Gen Y/Millennial show, though the earliest Millennials might have caught its later seasons.

it promoted Promiscuity, lack of respect and greed.
Plenty of other TV shows of the 1980s-2000s also promoted these things.

Small impact? Lol

Shows like these set the bar and made woman go after what we nowadays call " Chad".

This actually reminds me of another production from The 90s https://tubitv.com/movies/445237/do...y&tracking=google-feed&utm_source=google-feed , namely the words from 9:57-10:10

We moderns could actually all benefit from a RETURN to the sort of mindset expressed there
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

How so?

The more influential factor in that was tech-based dating platforms giving women abundance to demand top tier men (aka 'Chad')

That only happened for Millennial females, who were too young to watch Beverly Hills 90210 in its most popular years.

Speed Dating and classified ads for folks seeking love existed long before those tech platforms you mentioned. Same way young girls have been taking their clothes off on camera for a few quick bucks, long before OF existed

It didnt do much.

Sex and the City was much worse in terms of its effect.

I agree.

Sex and the City aired from 1998-2004 and some of the earliest Millennial women (think 1981-1984 births) were affected by it. I even made a thread in 2023 about a never married, childless woman born in 1982 who cited Friends & Sex and the City as being major influences on her views on mating and relationships.


Rollo Tomassi even commented about this on his first day as a SoSuave forum member in 2004. This was a few months after the final episode of Sex and the City aired.

Gabrielle Carteris was 29 in Season 1. Many of them were well into their 20s.
So it is with all these "teen" soaps. At present, the primary cast of f-cking Gossip Girl(which is hardly ancient history)are 40 or getting pretty damned close to it
