Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I stayed outta it. I just want to say something. Anytime you are part of an "entitled" group and you think because of your association that you are "better" than another, you will limit your life, because you due to your entitlement you won't go find how far your limits are. Most of our only limit is ourselves, and then you will find as you are getting to your best that there are things that were invisible to you before now trying to limit you. So think about that, you think you are smarter or better because of a group or a color, and you are entitled to that view without having to go out and earn that level? Remove the entitlement and go and get it.
 

"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.

Very well said and i really wish that if things are that bad it end up getting better.

Most of these problems could be solved by the free use of logics but people is still too strong on emotions.

First they say that no one should be judged according to the group he unwillingly is part of (see born as) then they say that if you belong to a certain group you are guilty toward an other group....how does it even makes sense logically?

If there is no unfair priviledge at another group's expense at a collective level then there is no guilt.

People are entitled to their human rights. Not to be arbitrarily arrested or railroaded because they belong to a certain group.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Im not aware of anything like that unless you mean reserved quotas by law.

Most of european nations have laws that reserve a double digit percentage of public jobs to women, they can get up to 100% of those position but never less than 10%.

Do you agree that its unfair?

You cant defeat logic with emotions.

Very smart.

The title of the thread says BLM, riots, etc....
and you are reframing the subject to avoid another flame war where this thread gets locked. Interesting.

Do you think it is fair that Queen Elisabeth is Queen but Prince Philip is not King and he is the man?

As you know royals have to follow centuries old rules, personally I find ridicolous in 2020 that first world countries still have kings and queens but thats my opinion.

Thanks for the compliment, being smart is something that makes me proud given that Im far from being good looking.

You know who else was smart? Rulers of small states that happened to survive between bigger ones at war, they usually let other people fight their wars while staying away from the heat.

I do not understand those rules, I thought you always had a King and a Queen. For what it's worth, I like the drama TV-series Crown, and it has won awards, and the movie Annihilation 2018 was mainly set in the backyard of the Buckingham Palace (i.e. the Royal gardens), so I'm good with the monarchy. I also liked the Queen's address concerning Covid19. It's just that with all the extreme politics going on these days and tumults that institutions like that feel like a semblance of order in a chaotic world, even if its just symbolic.

People are more and more Lazy today. Laziness = evil. Idle hands are the Devil's workshop. I am so tempted Every Weekend or my 2 days off, to not workout (I really have no time throughout the week cause I'm working 60 hours or more). So 24/7 I must not be lazy (even though, "Hey! it's my 2 days off!! I deserve to 'bum'" uh, no I don't as I know and can see the benefits of "I must be fit" So many people don't even get to square ONE of "I must be fit" "I must have discipline" "I must start/create/maintain good habits"). It's hard though, cause of the Devil's whispers on your ear canal encouraging procrastination which leads to being swamped in the mire of learned helplessness or "I'm a victim" or the weight of debt (from whatever source - your own or others' heaped upon you or bad fortune, bad luck).

Because my workouts are painful or tough, I dread my days off on weekends kinda. They're actually harder than working, but they make working easier so idk it's like a rubber band.

Exactly, but the schools don't teach logic; so, you have grown-asss men, running around, more emotional than a menopausal spinster, and you can't talk any sense into them, because they've been taught, by their single mommies and femarxist teachers, that their passion is their superpower; actually YOUR passion is MY superpower, because if you're ruled by your passions, then you're ruled by whomever controls your passions...and it ain't you.
Logic and self control can be taught but they still need an effort from the individual and just like diets apparently its too much for most people.

Well most kings/queens thankfully nowadays have very limited powers, they usually just say "ok" to something people already voted for or elected governents approved but I understand the entertainment point you talk about.
Except for the prussian kaisers they often created enough drama to entertain people.

I am not shure if laziness is evil. We have opinions about how the world should be.

On the other hand what does really matter anyway? We are just dust in the wind.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Let's say you are now the president of the US. Let's say you know for shure you will be born in the next life as a black baby in a problematic black area.

What kind of politics would you put into place. Specially when you know you will be effected by it.

I've lived and worked in poor black neighborhoods as well as in other poor minority neighborhoods and have seen first hand the issues in these places. One of the main problems is the destruction of the traditional family. If anyone wants to go and see what BLM believes in. One of the things that BLM believes in and is working towards is the destruction of the traditional family as well as Patriarchy (fathers). Ask yourselves this question if BLM cares so much about black people and minorities why are they trying to destroy the traditional family and increase the number of fatherless children?

That is a complete lie. The lack of fathers comes from this country murdering and incarcerating black men over stupid non-violent crimes. If you care so much of the black family unit will you condemn the racism in the criminal justice system?

What kind of Black neighborhoods are you referring to? Poor, working class, middle class, affluent? You should try being more precise.
Preciseness takes away from my incredulousness.
 

"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.
