"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Fellas,

I just want to say that you guys are awesome. Even though I don't agree with some of the things you say about women, I respect you guys because you are being honest. It's better to be honest about how you feel about women than to pretend that you trust them or deny your anger and mistrust. Actually, it might be healthy for you to get it out this way and get over your feelings so you can one day have a wonderful, meaningful relationship with a great woman. I wish you all the best of luck.

I really am sorry that some of you guys have been hurt so bad by some of these women out there (I've done my share of hurting too, unknowingly). I know that some of your feelings are a result of it, and I can't blame you for feeling that way. Most women would hear what you guys say on this board and want to argue and defend womanhood. As a woman, I have read some of your comments and this has been my kneejerk reaction, but then I remember that you are just expressing your honest feelings. How can I argue or judge you for that? Now I see just how vulnerable men can be and it has given me a higher respect for male feelings. Bottom line, I think all of you guys want to be able to love a special woman one day, and in a weird sort of way, you are helping each other inch closer to that goal. Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

A Woman who's Learning A Lot From the Fellas
 

"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 was doing a search on men and relationships and this site showed up along with "Menshealth Magazine's" site. I read that one too from time to time, but I found this site to be MOST informative. I'm capitvated by you guys and how honestly, clearly, and openly you express your emotions. I love it!

Do you guys believe that you will ever be able trust women again? Or do you think you'll just end up like Player Supreme?

Just curious.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

No.

It's not even about relationships with me.Guys don't REALLY get hurt,some guys are just confused.


Its about role-reversal not some hoe making me catch feelings.It's some hoe taking some job from me just cuz the faggot=supervisor wants to see alot of women in his office..that's what bothers me.

Yes,I have no beef with women really it's the "enablers" in my gender I have a problem with.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

He's talking about dudes that make it easy for women to play with men.

Men who kiss women's ass, bend over backwards for their approval, or treat them like they are somehow worth more than men because they have breasts and a vagina.

'AFC'-ish men that perpetuate retarded ideas - in short.

There are enablers in both sexes, no?

Anyway, I'm curious would most of you guys describe your feelings towards women as "ambivalent?"

You guys make me go hmmmm.
SB :D
