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 made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Not a bad list that might'ved saved me lots of problems!!
I bet her old cooch was wet at the end of that interview"Wait till people see this interview. You're gonna get some mail."
Connory smirking: "I might even get some female."![]()
Your thoughts here make a lot of sense.I can write a book about this no joke. Women specifically are a BYPRODUCT and nothing more. Gotta set up a life where you don't depend on women, or even friends and family because again: you can't control other people's feelings and minds.
Don't know if this list is good but actually I have all but still working on:
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’m going to start ketamine and therapy next week. Enough is enough. Need some new perspective.Not a bad list that might'ved saved me lots of problems!!
We are much alike bro.I’m going to start ketamine and therapy next week. Enough is enough. Need some new perspective.
It's not simply immaturity, they have the Catholic Church in the middle of Rome telling them not to phuck. It's more frustrated passion than anything, but accepted in their culture as a necessary vent to blow off steam.The Mediterranean mercurial temperament is well-known, but in Europe, most Italians are regarded as 'dramatic' and basically toddlers in adult bodies. Italian movies in general show this 'drama' as 'passion', but it's simply immature behaviour.
He probably means microdosing. It's really common with psilocybin too. Small amounts are not incapacitating.We are much alike bro.
Why ketamine tho? That's a substance used to drug horses...heavy ish
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.
It’s a very researched treatment - check itWe are much alike bro.

I've done keta once at a rave and mannnn..It’s a very researched treatment - check it
It essentially takes your neurological system and puts it back to factory settings. If you and me and others are flying off of the rails on short notice it’s likely because neurologically there has been a series of adaptions in earlier years due to stimuli that were traumatic. At the younger age with therapy there’s enough plasticity if addressed thoroughly. As we age past about 23, most of that window has closed. Ketamine is a chance for that to happen.I've done keta once at a rave and mannnn..
that shyte send me flying.
I will definitely check it out.
The sentiment I get is you don't wanna be a slave to your emotions. The question is whether your emotions are actually wrong or not.. I do agree that there are "better " ways to address certain issues but oftentimes the root of anger is a justified emotion!
If you did not investigate psilocybin its worth the effort to take a look. I can literally infuse a new perspective.It’s a very researched treatment - check it
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
It’s interesting and I’ve done it years ago recreationally but it’s not legal for any purposes. There is clinical research periodically by teaching hospitals on that and MDMA also, but recently the research was being done around me on MDMA. I will try this for now on my schedule and if it doesn’t work the way it should ($4500!!) am willing to branch out. The nice thing is what I am doing comes with a really thorough professional staff for talk and medical guidance, including ongoing individual or group. I like the idea of group. Bonding and hearing others mention things perhaps that may resonate.If you did not investigate psilocybin its worth the effort to take a look. I can literally infuse a new perspective.

It’s been done in New York. Mount Sinai teaching hospital has what’s known as centers for excellence, which take a topic and then administer novel treatments in the best setting’s possible with the best staff in the world. It’s just not in cycle right now, and I also have a certain amount of restriction in my parenting schedule but I didn’t look into that angle bc I wasn’t ready to go to mdma, on the advice of a physician Ketamine and psilocybin sounded the most promising.
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.
