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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
It gets annoying to be firstTaxes in Europe for the most part are outrageous. People in the US complain about taxes but we have some of the lowest taxes there are. Canada's are much higher as well.
Yeah, this.Balkan countries, ex yu are really good if you have a lot of money. You can do whatever the fvck you want and even avoid paying taxes if you're smart enough
Russia used to be like this pre-Putin, but now it's fine.Yeah, this.
Remember that most countries are also pretty corrupt. If you find a place where the cost of living is low, the authorities will be stopping you for their daily bribe to supplement their ****ty income.
As I said with money you can buy your way out of prison even. There are a lots of cases when kid of a rich parents hit and run someone with a car, they never see a day of prison. It's sad really.Yeah, this.

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.
Dont forget beint regurlarly taxed for possession and being told you're being taxed for using public streets, then find those streets not fixed or fvcked up after the first day of serious snowing.It gets annoying to be first
Taxed on income
Buy a car and be taxed on the sale
Then be taxed on car property tax
Then taxed for registration
Then taxed on gasoline
Then taxed on a toll road
Then break a tie rod over time from potholes that were not fixed with tax dollars
Then taxed on the repair of said tie rod
Lol, the most expensive country to live in. I live in the second most expensive country and even I found it very expensive when I travelled to Switzerland.Switzerland
Are you from Norway?Lol, the most expensive country to live in. I live in the second most expensive country and even I found it very expensive when I travelled to Switzerland.
Yeah, my only complaint is that it's so damn cold half the year.Are you from Norway?
With all the hotties there Im sure you have no problem getting warm...amazing girls there virtually no drama either.Yeah, my only complaint is that it's so damn cold half the year.
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.
Yeah, most women here are actually nice people. I sometimes forget that it's not like that everywhere else when someone on the forum comments about how most women around them are b!tches, I can't relate that much to my experience.With all the hotties there Im sure you have no problem getting warm...amazing girls there virtually no drama either.
If I was fluent in the local language or young enough to learn it decently I would move there with no second tought, been there just 3 months for a project and loved it.
It’s expensive cause you have EU salary which is adjusted to the prices of their countries. When you have Swiss salary in Switzerland you can have good life and someone with an expertise in science or computing for example can have very good money . I’m not a fan of Switzerland for many other reasons but i have to admit money is good there .Lol, the most expensive country to live in.

Norway isn't a member of the EU, salaries are fairly high here as well. Switzerland wasn't that much more expensive, it was just unusual for me as a Norwegian to have to pay slightly more for everything outside of Norway.It’s expensive cause you have EU salary which is adjusted to the prices of their countries.

This is one of the few European countries I have not yet visited. I hear that a beer costs like $10.Yeah, my only complaint is that it's so damn cold half the year.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
