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.
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.

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"
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.
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.

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.
