Just want to know how real men deal with their physical/mental discomfort/illness?
"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.
Do real men go to doctors?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
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.

Hardly ever went to the doctor, hadn't seen one in a decade until I started developing panic and anxiety attacks. Got blood work done, every thing was fine. Try to prescribe me some medications which I never used. I turned to meditation which has cut my anxiety down by half in only 2 1/2 months. I still have bouts here and there, but I am much better. Before I could barely leave the house
What the F?
"Real men" are also people. Denying myself of a normal healthy living just because it means I'm "less of a man" is just beta.
I'm 21, I have a chronic skin condition, a lower disc hernia, testicular varicocele, neurogenic bladder and irritable bowel syndrome (which is suspected to be chron's disease), suspected arthritis, Temporomandibular Joint disorder (my jaw is f**ked up due to crossbite), damaged meniscus articularis and some other things I forgot.
I went through the following:
-X-ray on most major parts of my body
-CT of my lower back and legs
-MRI of my lower back
-Nuclear medicine whole-body bone scan (Bone scintigraphy)
-Sigmoidoscopy
-Colonoscopy
-Uroflowmetry
-Urodynamics
-Ultrasound of many organs
-Every possible blood, urine and stool sample test
Even after this, I don't consider myself as less of a man.
I'm awesome, I'm super manly and even though my ex knew about all these illnesses she didn't care because I never whined except when I was really in pain.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

If it's something I don't think my body will heal naturally and perfectly from i'll go see a doctor. In the past maybe 20 years i've seen one once and not to get into any details but there was blood loss lol. I do want to see one now though, at 40 it really does feel like the warranty expired and I want to get checked out and see an allergist and stuff mostly to ask some questions.
Before 40 no doctors necessary...
After 40 i'd say it's time to man up and start getting checked out regularly.

I try to avoid it at all costs but sometimes you just have to. Got bit by a cat back in 2009 and my hand swelled up like a balloon. I pondered over going to DR for 3 days, finally did. Dr said it was one of the worst cases of cellulitus he had seen and another day or two it would have been past the point of no return and I would have lost 90% of the movement in my hand for the rest of my life.
Sense then my tune on doctors has been a little more lax.

Screw doctors. I puree lizards and various other reptiles in a Ninja blender every morning at 5:45 am so I can regenerate myself like a green boss in the event of anything.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.
