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.
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.
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:
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.
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
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.
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.
