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.
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.

Tupac was talking about the black woman not women in general.Chickfight said:Imma be awesome and quote Tupac
"Since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman, and our game from a woman, I wonder why we take from our women, why we rape our women. Do we hate our women? I think it’s time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women. And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies"
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.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't, but the message applies to people of any skin color.f283000 said:Tupac was talking about the black woman not women in general.
Chickfight said:The before is just him realizing you can't be a "nice guy" to women. Yeah. we all agree on that around here. But since when is being a nice guy about giving respect to women?? Nice guys don't respect themselves and they don't respect women enough to be REAL and honest about their own masculinity. Nice guys don't give anything real, they just take and take like a leech with their neediness.
In the after video, he talking about a different issue and I agree with his views in it as well. He's talking about B!TCHES and HOES, but notice he says "if you fvcking with a cool female that's all good". His message is that you gotta stop giving attention to and fighting eachother for B!TCHES and HOES. (aka putting them on a pedestal and bros before hoes) He has the sense to distinguish females from on another and not just generally disrespect them all, because there ARE a lot of cool females out there, but you won't get to experience any of that coolness if you hate all women. Just like you see men as individuals and show respect where respect is due, the same counts for women. Listen to "Never call you B!TCH again" which was recorded towards the end of his life.

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
