Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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 think it will have just about 0% to do with anything that you talk about.
Why are we defending Feminist in here? You should know by now that this place is the anti matriarchal grounds of dudes like Pook who stood for the patriarchy and Men's rights. We may not be allowed to talk about politics in here, but when it comes to Men's rights and Men's empowerment, I'm all game and consider that aspect a free for all for Femnazi bashing lol.
The manospere perfectly described in one small paragraph.
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.
More like defending illogical conclusions being made from things that have no relation to each other.
Lol...Now you're sounding like a whiny male lefty feminist working for George Soro's antifa or some crap like that. This forum has always been Pro Men's rights and Men's empowerment as evident by the crappy divorce laws in America or in the West today.
Feminism is dead. The trannies killed it. You can't have gender identity when gender isn't even a thing. In the liberal college town near me, every time women try to have a women's group of any sort, a bunch of dudes in dresses show up.
Lmao....Pook and The Brotherhood would be shaking his head at you right now. I have a feeling your secretly a Male Feminist like good ole Gamisch here. We butt heads all the time because you don't agree with my Christian and masculine views on dating right? Dude, respect my views like I respect yours brother. Think of our views of that of politics, we may disagree with one another but sees both sides and its pros and cons. We need to focus on a common enemy and that is the millions of men being screwed by the divorce laws daily here in America. We need to be compassionate of them, have a sense of empathy and lend an ear for them to speak their mind and vent.
