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.
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.
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.
Stop calling my girlfriend out you jack ass! Sarah has never been in a fight in her life and as long as I'm around I'll make sure she never does.Originally posted by Brother_Rapp
Sarah, I'm sorry I meant PRM.
If your wife to be should punch you in the face, would you been over and tell her to stick the dildo in while she's at it or would you kick her a**?
Brother Rapp is just a straight dumb ass aequitas. He's done too much acid in the 70's and smokes too much weed now to have his mind in the right place anymore. He views women as second class citizens and this is why he thinks the way he does.Originally posted by ~ªêQµïTª$~
Brother_Rapp: I feel sorry for ANY women that knows youTo me it seems that you are trying to act like a wannabe gangster, or maybe u are one?
Either way, you got alot to learn on how to treat a woman, and I suggest seeking some anger management help, and maybe a few "how to treat women" classes
.... Seriously man... your way of thinking will only lead you to MORE trouble and probably jail one day... Snap out of it!

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.
I'd rather be the MAN who knew to walk away before beating a girl who in all likely hood can't handle themself nearly as good as you can in hand to hand combat.Originally posted by Fatality
Would you rather be known as the guy who hit a girl or the guy that let a girl beat him up?
Whether you are man or woman you shouldn't throw a punch if you can't take one yourself.
Got that much right loser.Originally posted by Brother_Rapp
PRM
You and I don't have shyt to talk about.
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.
Exactly they can't handle themselves as well as a man can physically so they should never under any circumstances hit a man. A 5'2 guy with a half a brain would never hit a 6'5 guy because he knows that most likely he can't handle himself as well physically. Just because she's a woman she's allowed to hit a man? I thought they wanted equality these days. Don't give me bull**** that women won't like him because he hit another girl.Originally posted by PRMoon

There's nothing wrong with walking away from a girl hitting you. No one will think less of you because you don't have anything to prove physically.
I'm in partial ageement with you. I have fought girls in the past but they were fair fights, where the girlswere well equipped. But even in those circumstances I didn't fight to kick their asses, I just fought for a stalemate. Even when it's "justified" I don't feel right about hitting women. I also don't feel right fighting guys who aren't prepared for the engagment they stepped into.Originally posted by Fatality

I just feel that if anybody hits you first you can hit them back. I wouldn't hit a girl if she slapped me for doing something wrong but if she bloodies my nose it's on.
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.
