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.

Conditioning bitches

"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.

what’s the meaning of life
Literally, to reproduce.

As is the purpose of a bacteria's life.

Because I know about science and evolution. Do chimpanzees have an afterlife? What about lizards or fungi? We share most of our DNA with even very distant species.

Links to any without a shadow of doubt factual evidence disproving the afterlife?
 

"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.

Not disagreeing or agreeing with spiderman's post but I want to make something clear.

People who call themselves alpha are not alpha.
Actual "alphas" don't boast about being alpha because they don't need people to know that they're alpha. Instead, It's obvious from the way they act. Having to tell people that one is alpha results from self esteem issues.
They also don't call other people "beta", because that in itself is beta af.
Spot on. That's why he's getting clowned.

Think of anybody you may consider "alpha" outside of yourself, of course ;) do you think they would really carry on like this creep?

No man who is secure in his confident masculinity goes around acting like that.

I want the guy to heal though. He's what @tennacity used to call a cartoon alpha

You have valid points.
It's very possible. I don't agree.

The delivery is where you lose the audience
Yeah that's pretty much were he's getting clowned. Well, delivery? or trying to insult the audience? I always ask myself when someone is delivering a message (especially online)

.....How would this come across if he and I were sat there sharing a glass of Laphroaig 18 year and chatting away?
Now, if he would present the message in the same way face to face, I may have to step back and go ....."wow quite a guy" or I may
just shovel a glass into his face and follow it up with an elbow to the jaw....that mean I'm an internet "hard guy"?

No, that means I'm a male who probably wouldn't listen to that ****e face to face (which doesn't make me special, any of you living in the real world knows that......the fellas gonna react.)

Inconclusion, anyone speaking that way on the internet....usually is full of fvcking ****e

Yea, I called the autistic angle. It's like the kid reads a chapter of The Rational Male and comes back trying to put it in his own uneducated words, with a bravado spin on it. It reads like if autistic rapper Chief Keef would have written TRM.
Amen.

reasonable opinion.

This tells me at least you're in control.

I learned.

Ha, it's the only way they can start learning short of multiple near death experiences .

And if you treat them like gold their guaranteed to treat you like garbage .
