Gray The Prince
Master Don Juan
Aite. Got you down into the Veteran's division.Robyn923b said:Put me on this list, I'll do an extra # close challenge for being late
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've completed the task, broseph. Also, is your name an Oblivion reference?Gray The Prince said:bump
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.
No. My name is Gray and you're supposed to post the FRs. lolTheCleanPleb said:I've completed the task, broseph. Also, is your name an Oblivion reference?
FR= field reports? Alrighty, I don't really recall the interactions that well, I kinda just talked to people. I'll post some up tomorrow.Gray The Prince said:No. My name is Gray and you're supposed to post the FRs. lol
Frayzer said:Vice the random approach/comments to people is the challenge for my division.
Your divions challenge is to number close 3 girls fail or succeed, so now you only need 2 to go. I don't think it matters if they're acquaintances like that though. Ones you hardly talk to that is.

I was jogging in the park, and a lady with a stroller walked by and we made eye contact. I smiled and said "Hello" and she replied with the same, or at least I think she did since I had music in my ears. I saw her lips move.Random Greets:
We were standing around in class and this HB:7 was in front of me. I said "Hey" and the next thing I know shes talking about how she hates her job.Random Small Talks:
I busted up laughing at this.Vice said:I invited them to the gay club
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.
Yeah, that seems to be his thing.Starfvcks 64 said:I busted up laughing at this.
What?
Best thing I did at your age was get a fake id. I had no problems getting into bars/clubs and it looked nothing like me.Frayzer said:And I envy you club goers... As soon as I run out of chicks to approach at school I have to hit up the malls and stuff. And every club in my area is 21+![]()
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.
