"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Death and guilt

Hopefully, this post might inspire people to avoid my mistake.



As I grow older I am seeing more and more people pass-which would make sense obviously.

Still, I keep dropping the ball. I hear about someone sick and keep telling myself I will visit. Then bam the die before I get to see them. Then I end up feeling like sht because I didn't take action.

I feel guilty that I didn't go see them and have the last '"peace" talk.

For what it is worth.

Peace
 

"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.

death is the ultimate mind f*ck. no one likes to confront death.

when we lose someone we care about all our false illusions about what life is about come crashing down.

you're probably avoiding these people because subconsciously you don't want to face death and visiting this people and seeing death in action scares the sh*t out of you.

I have lost plenty of people that were close to me to death. Its fvcking sad for us that have to live life without them. After a while you start to realize that in life there is alot of suffering. But there is nothing we can do, just hope that they are in a better place.

I am not afraid of too many things but death is probably my biggest fear.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

boy you said it, at least it seems like this for those of us that get left behind.

however, i hear that the actual process of death (feeling the ultimate warmth and love and bright light that surrounds you) for the person that is passing.

Yet people are more afraid of public speech :confused:

People in general are weird and unconvential. Exploring their nature is what makes life so cool to me:up:
