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.
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.
My example is dependent on the woman being monogamous, not the man. Certainly the man can be monogamous, but not necessarily. And history is full of examples where the women were faithful but the men planted a lot of seeds. The main point is that you can be more certain that the child is yours if you are the only one banging her.Genotype A: The guy who ONLY hooks up with girls he's reasonably sure haven't hooked up any other dudes
Genotype B: The guy who bangs everything in sight AND can produce the most jizz when needed
Genotype C: A guy who does his best to make sure his lady is only his, BUT also jizzes like a monster whenever he's not sure.
It's kind of like whole "are humans monogamous" debate. It's both, under different conditions.
I wasn't aware that herpes, AIDs, or syphilus washed off.Zekko u do realize anything she does washes off.
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.
Feminism's next big push will be test tube "designer" babies so that women can go through a list of sperm donors like a restaurant menu and genetically engineer the kids they want so they don't have to learn how to love a man lol.In the long term, I just don't see where women handle multiple partners very well. The effects of too many men causes too much mental damage.
And supporting this is giving your power away. Its another form of feminism.
I watched a documentary about the Mormons and Brigham Young. One of his wives wrote in her diary that she was happy to be in a polygamist relationship. She felt that it gave her more power and freedom to invest more in herself since she didn't have to focus all of her time on a husband. There were other women that could take care of him when she wanted to do something else. She could devote her time to running her business instead of looking after a husband. She thought this was really where feminism first started.
