ME TOO! Can you eat raw carrots?Desdinova said:Allergies to fruit exist. I'm allergic to raw apples & kiwis. The screwy thing is I can eat apple pie.
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 said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
the guy who put his man juice in the cole slaw kinda did it for meTeflon_Mcgee said:My reason for not eating KFC?
I'll tell you.
My cousin is Green Beret (Army SF) who has been there and done that. In his time he has eaten everything from roadkill to monekybrains and everything in between. The one thing he won't touch is KFC.
Why? I don't know. But I figure if a man who lives off larva and snake wont eat it than neither should I.
That is fvcking greatThe Forms said:How can you be allergic to watermelon? That's like being allergic to justice. It's so intrinsically good, it's impossible to be allergic.
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.
Churchs ( I don't give a flying fvck about the apostrophe) doesn't come in a bucket. I still don't give a sh!t about brains, feathers or beaks. Churchs chicken am good!Deus ex Pianoforte said:I have a friend that found a spinal chord with a piece of the brain still attached in a bucket of Churchs once. Yeah, there's no apostrophe...how the hell do you pronounce that anyway?
Deus ex Pianoforte said:Hahah, sounds like you're good to go then, Karma.Me, I'll stick to my KFC 6-piece Honey BBQ wing, popcorn chicken, 2 biscuits, mashed potatos side, honey BBQ snacker feast. One of the greatest pleasures in life, imho.
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.

The main difference is of course that humans invented the notion of 'rights' and animals have no concept of it - of course that does not make animal cruelty okay by any means, but if you were in the jungle chased by a lion, and the lion killed you off slowly by eating you one bite at a time, you definitely wouldn't be thinking about 'rights'.The Forms said:there is nothing that seperates us morally from from the chicken such that we get to have rights and be treated humanely, but the chickens don't.
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.
if you get off fvcking horses, that's you. I'm not one to judgeThe Forms said:Sounds like the horse enjoyed it. No cruely to animals there. Just wierdness involving them.
I read an article once written by a pretty prestigious environmental/animal rights philospher about how bestiality is, for the most part, morally OK. (keep in mind, when I was getting my degree in philosophy I studied a LOT of animal rights stuff). I can't remember who wrote it now. I want to say it was Peter Singer or Richard Posner or someone else who is pretty respectable, but don't quote me.
The article was all about how if you're fine with it, and the animal is fine with it, there's no real issue there. (I'm reasonably sure the author was an utilitarian). I think he even went on to talk about if you were giving it to a horse, even if the horse wasn't into it it's pretty much fine because a person boning a horse, in terms of any pain or violation involved, is about as bad to the horse as if I was continually poking you in the arm with my finger; it's annoying but not really bad.
Now, obviously this only works with big animals that aren't harmed by you boning it. If you stick it in a cat and it dies, that's morally wrong. But not because of the sex act, I think the author would argue, it's wrong because you are seriously harming the animal. The sexual component isn't bad or good.
Philosophy is fun
I disagree homie!! Popeyes biscuits are the best in the market - very buttery!! I ate two of them today and I have one in the fridge which will be devoured soon. I like chicken breasts - the white meat - it all tastes the same, no matter the restaurant, except for the outer coating - which is only skin and not meat!backbreaker said:People like popeyes because it's popular not to like KFC.
Their chicken is very very average.. their biscuits suck...

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.
