I was just thinking, what would we do if we didn't have beer in this world?
It would be unthinkable...
It would be unthinkable...
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
If we didn't have beer I'd black out more often.TheMainMan said:I was just thinking, what would we do if we didn't have beer in this world?

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.
The Irish would have taken over the world. Fat chicks would be gone... no fat dudes to mate with them to have fat babies... oh I hate fat people btw. :trouble:TheMainMan said:I was just thinking, what would we do if we didn't have beer in this world?

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.
Yes I'm pretty sure martini, absinthe and yager bomb are chick drinks... American beer look and taste like warm piss anyways. The only good beers are in Europe.foxhound87 said:Beer is beautiful, I can't beleive that people here don't like it. I suppose most of the guys here drink "chicks drinks" :crackup: But yeah if beer didn't exist the world would be a much nicer place....
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.
No sh't... wow did you really graduate high school? So what's your point? Importing European beer will make it American? It doesn't matter if you import it... it's still EUROPEAN BEER. Maybe I should spoon feed your tiny little brain by adding all good beer comes from Europe. Seriously piss off...Deus ex Pianoforte said:Astonishingly enough, America imports European beer.

Never tried it, sounds good though. I still think Germany has the best.Serialized3 said:http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/
