at what point in your life did you decide youve had enough with women and take the red pill? was it after marriage or after dating a string of BPD women and the media and so on promoting men to be lesser or a combination off all?
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.
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.
What's your line of business, Peak?PeakIV said:Took the red pill after my BPD trainwreck.
Been on my own for 18months and love it. Love being by myself and happy in my own company.
Do what I want when I want and no one tells me what to do ever
Earned a shedload of cash during this time and own my own house and business and drive a top end car.
Couldn't have done it with a crazy on my arm or any other chick probably as they would have been a distraction.
I realise I was too much of a people pleaser. No more.
Taken out a few chicks but realise I don't need them as I have so much going on with work and hobbies. I don't owe anyone a cent and couldn't give a tosss about my ex or any other pretty woman which is a bit worrying??!
I Know I will never get married again ( as someone said if you had 100K would you invest in a business which had a 50% chance of failing would you? NO.
well marriage is the same....50% chance of failing...
Be independant and embrace life. Look after no.1 and that is you.
Money might not make you happy but it does give you freedom and options.
So get out there and make it.
That's something to strive for surely?
THANK YOU! EXACTLY!PeakIV said:I Know I will never get married again ( as someone said if you had 100K would you invest in a business which had a 50% chance of failing would you? NO.

To answer the OP's question, this is how it unfolded for me as well. I've always had pretty good luck pulling attractive women, but a terrible track record holding them down or picking quality women. I have a tendency to gravitate toward hot and crazy. Eventually, after getting shafted repeatedly, the reality started sinking in that it was probably something with me that needed to change.PeakIV said:Took the red pill after my BPD trainwreck.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

and until we get that out of our heads we will always be a slave to women...drellum said:To a certain extent I think we are conditioned into believing that we should "be with somebody"
I think everybody realises it at some point....usually, like me, its when you've made all the mistakes hahaPeakIV said:and until we get that out of our heads we will always be a slave to women...

There's a big difference between Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder (which is usually what the guys here on the forum are talking about when they say BPD). However, they are both very serious conditions, and I would stay far away from any women with either.synergy1 said:There are a lot of posts about BPD, but in my experiences I have not really met many. Maybe I have the added advantage of being exposed to a family member ( non blood related) who was diagnosed with Bi Polar disorder, and i saw the absolute horror that followed.
There is something missing from someone with real bipolar. It is as if they simply can not derive any sort of pleasure out of life. You can't reach them in any way. Its a very wierd feeling that I know well, and can sniff one out from a mile away. Case and point was this chick I met last weekend - she even said that we should hang out again ( she even dated professional athletes and was pretty hot) but I blatantly said no. I suspect many "alpha males" here would have said yes and gone down that road.zekko said:There's a big difference between Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder (which is usually what the guys here on the forum are talking about when they say BPD).

I do have a good friend who is Bipolar however. And while he has remained a good friend, his life has most definitely been marked with tragedy.
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.
