"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.
4th annual Anti AA Competition
- Thread starter Gray The Prince
- Start date
"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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

AAA Competition is back!
Will you be participating Gray?
Will you be participating Gray?
"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.

No, got too much on my plate, though I may occasionally step in and do some of the challenges myself for the hell of it.Robyn923b said:

Since quite a few veterans have joined, you should consider making it a two tier competition. That is, give them the same challenges, but allow them to win within their cohort.Gray The Prince said:

I know there's a few of you who need to sign up but haven't yet! Time's running out!
Instead of making veterans ineligible, I'm gonna go ahead and go with Robyn's idea of making a Veteran's division.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I participated last year, and got pretty far in the competition if I remember.
Sign me up.
I'm still not where I want to be, and last night I backed out of approaching a HB9, I don't want this to keep happening.

21 participants, who will be left standing?
As you see, I took Robyn's idea to heart and decided to put all of the vets into a separate division. At first the veteran tasks will only be slightly harder than the gladiator's task but the difficulty will steady increase as I try to weed guys out. If there's a gladiator and a veteran left standing at the very end, then they will be their respective division's champion and will compete head to head with each other to become the official champion. (Yep, all vets in the competition are now eligible to become champion if the circumstances end up a certain way since their challenges will be noticeably harder.)
Same rule applies every year is still in effect this year.
Two strikes and you're out.
What gets you a strike?
1. Not completing a challenge on time.
2. Failing to do the challenge at all.
3. Complaining about the challenge being too easy/hard. (This wasn't a problem last year but we had an incident of this back in the 2012 comp)
Without further ado, here's the very first challenge.
Gladiator's Division!
Approach seven people regardless of gender and strike up a conversation or at the very least say hello/good morning/evening/afternoon/your shoes are untied/I don't give a damn what you say/whatever. However at least three of them must be HBs. This can be randoms, a girl in class, anywhere. You do not have to get a number this week. What I'm looking for here is small talk and eye contact.
Veteran's Division!
Make three approaches and go for a number close in all three. It does not matter whether you get the number or not.
You all have until Sunday February 23 11:59 pm Pacific Time to get this done
Best of luck men.

Put me on this list, I'll do an extra # close challenge for being late
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
