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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I've never said sorry to a b!tch before. I'm a man and I stand by my actions/decisions.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
ok perhaps I should of put another option upOriginally posted by The Nice Guy is Gone
It's okay if you actually do something wrong, like one of the replies said. In that case, it is legitimate. As far as them thinking you are a real man as the result, come on--you don't have any options I like, so I'm not voting, and I stand by that decision/action.
lol yeah but that isn't serious enough .Originally posted by Eccentric
"My puppy died" - Im sorry to hear that.
"Why are you making fun of me?!? - If you say your sorry, God help you.
if she truly is a dirty slut then why should u be sorry? you were just being honest.What if for example you called a girl a dirtly slut in front of her friends?
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
What if you burn down her house, then refuse to rescue her because you're too busy saving your collection of ear wax?Originally posted by Centaurion

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.
Because she hates me, I hate her, let's **** up her little pathetic world.Why would you be in this situation?What if for example you called a girl a dirtly slut in front of her friends?
I used to be like that too, and I have met another girl that does the exact same thing and it drives me nuts. I don't apologize to anyone unless I've actually done something to justify the apology. It's like someone else said too, screwing up bad enough to apologize should rarely happen anyway, but it does on occasion.Originally posted by ScrewIt
No, i never say im sorry unless i fvck up real bad. Its funny really how most guys and women use sorry so much everyday that's its become part of their nice persona nature. i used to be like that but i changed for the better
It all depends on a situation.Originally posted by 00Kevin
There are some people who are voting that it makes a woman realize that you are a real man.
Could you please provide examples of this? It is nice to imagine that it is true but if you can't back it up with exampels then don't vote for that one.
well I think the conclusion here is that saying sorry doesn't really mean anything to a woman. Most are just like you said, "Stuck up" b-tiches anyway.Originally posted by DJDamage

I think you shouldn't say sorry so much because its weak. If you fvck up too much and feel the need to say sorry too much you obviously don't have your sh1t together or not dating the right woman. Also your woman should have the responsibility to say that she is sorry when she is wrong and show that she means it (the more a couple feel the need to use the word "sorry" the more likely their relationship will fail) .She also should not make you feel guilty for saying sorry but rather embrace you. There are too many stuckup b1tches walking around those days making their man feel guilty and holding his appology against him (and do not appologize to their men when they themsleves are wrong!!). Don't date these women.
