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 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.
lmaoperseverance said:I'm more Conservative than Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, those Liberal swines.
Honestly, I think that is the ONLY way any of this will ever get changed (outside of a complete breakdown of society). Men would need to have a lobbying group, and I'm not sure even then it would work. There are more female voters than male voters.Wilko said:If there is an institutionalised, state-supported bias against men, then I don't think the solution is to turn men into another special interest group begging for intervention and protection by the State.
Except for the initial name calling, I cosign. Thanks for saving me a half hour of typing, T man, because I agree with you 100%.( . )( . ) said:It's not rocket science you douchebag, try to keep up:
20 something socially unaware gameless chode (usually liberal> raised by a single mother) takes some time off strangling his organ and crying himself to sleep to type into google " how do I get laid..derp"
20 something neckbeard finds "game", takes the red pill and learns some semblance of social awareness needed to bang his first vapid bar slut.
Fast forward a few years and our man has been with enough women and enough social interactions that he's honed his social awareness . He's not only matched the first vapid bar skank he banged all those years ago (the epitome of modern woman) he's surpassed her.
Our socially aware man now notices the current gender imbalances because he quite literally can where as the next crop of neckbearded liberal losers can't. Imbalances such us :
* Men constantly portrayed as incompetent,goofy douchebags by mainstream media, can't do anything right without the firm mature hand of a woman.
* No reproductive rights. A woman can do whatever she wishes with a child, it's her body her choice, not so when it comes to men, he is to "man up" and pay regardless or feel the wrath of the state and society or else be shamed "deadbeat dad".
* Next to no parental rights.
* Gender biased legal system.
* Male suicide 4 times more likely than female and rising every year.
* The "disposable male" phenomenon (women and children first) that is still indoctrinated into young boys but without any rewards of the past.
* Highest non interest education dropout rate for boys ever seen, courtesy of a fem-centric education system (a for women by women learning curriculum in other words)
* An over abundance of emasculated and clueless enablers with quite literally half the testosterone levels of their forefathers.
* Men's achievements and sacrifices throughout history continually downplayed, especially the sacrifice of literally millions of men's lives during wars of the past and present.
Our man who now dares to politically incorrectly mention the above now gets chastised for being an "evil MRA" by a 37 year old woman who uses the terms "hate speech" and "anti-female-manosphere" way to often to pass as a man.
See how it works? the circle of life and all that.
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.
