You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
Haha you talk about creatine as if it were steroids, how about you do some research before you state your outrageous claims. Ive been on and off creatine for 3 years now, taking 6 week cycles and then stop for 8 weeks. These are very short cycles but even if you were 'on' creatine for a whole year, you wouldn't grow dependant on it.Originally posted by SnoopDoggyCow
Yeah you're cool man. Sorry if I don't need creatine like you do.
I'd like to see you stop taking it and then lift. Idiot

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.

What we do ban for, however, is name-calling.
are you actually talking about creatine?Originally posted by sfalexi
I personally don't use any supplements. I know some of them work, and some of them don't, but I feel lots of self-gratification when someone looks at me and my shape and I can honestly say to them, "Yup. It's all calisthenics. And all natural." Just feels good for me.
I say take what you want. As for me, while I may not grow as big as others that take stuff, or grow as fast as others that take stuff, I'm happy with my current rate of progress, and I'm happy to save $$$ not buying stuff.

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.
