"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.

"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.

I didn't watch the video, but I did read some of the comments. These caught my eye: First, from a girl named Nadine:
This just makes me sad. Feminism is fighting for equality for women, yes, but for men as well. Any rational person who knows anything about the movement and what it stands for would know that.
Okay, that was about the craziest thing I've ever heard. But further down it is answered well by a guy named Brendan:
What I don't understand is why there can't be a move called "equality" that advocates for both men and women rights, calling something "feminism" already favors women. I don't want a misogynistic society, but I also don't want one that paints men as rapists.
The only flaw I see with that is I don't know if you can ever have truly equal genders. There will always be a leader and a follower. Since women are so closely tied to reproduction and the propogation of the species, it only makes sense that the relatively unburdened male should take that role. The problem comes when men abuse that role, which I will admit they have done in the past.

Hey thanks for sharing this it made me think about how weird different things are for many different people. But this concept has always been weird for me to talk about with people. Its always been hard to hear the male version of what this means to people saying it. Its something i find useful to discuss at all.
Thanks for sharing.
