"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.

My main hobbies: drinking and getting tail. This makes for a great conversation with my friends, but, time to move on from that shyt. I’m not 21 years old anymore. What kind of things you guys have for hobbies that keep you feeling good, keep you busy, and adds excitement to your lives.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

I'm getting back into poker.....

IMO, poker is a great way for guys to hang out and shoot the breeze, tell stories, get drunk or high, and overall just have a good time...some of the best philosophical and political discussions I've had were while playing poker....

It's getting kinda hard for me to attend home games because most guys I know are married, so I've been doing the rounds in the L.A. casinos....

Interesting idea. I like it
 

"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.

my new hobby is boxing, been taking kickboxing classes and its nice to be able to get all flexible and learn to throw good punches/kicks. Of course the Van Damme Bloodsport kicks are quite fun too, I'd say just being able to do those kind of kicks at 30+ and even 40/50+ are fun as hell cause most people 30+ are walking 75% the speed of their youth or just fat.

Rock climbing, great workout, a good place to meet new people and it's a lot of fun.

Go to a climbing gym and start bouldering, you don't need a partner for that.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Aquascaping and discus fish.

Now experimenting on Aquascaping without the use of carbon and using normal topsoil instead of an ADA grade soil.
