She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
This is true but all of that is propped up on the back of the beta male, ironically feminism is only being sustained by the men feminists despise. When enough of them finally say phuck it and drop out or take the red pill and civilization as we know it no longer has the footings to support it it's game over. We are starting to see the beginning of that now with the rise in welfare leeches, herbivores, MGTOW, red pillers, PUA, boys dropping out of fem-centric schools and Universities in record numbers and men in general taking their wealth offshore.Scaramouche said:Being an Industry there are now People with a vested interest in its survival..not just those who occupy jobs because of gender equity programs,but the lecturers,equal opportunity officers, and Welfare Workers who would be unemployed without it..No it has a long,long way to go!
It will burn out when it leads to complete disintegration of the modern society, which is inevitable.Bumsniff said:Do you see the cancer that is feminisim burning itself out anytime soon? Or something eventually taking it over, some new mutation of it?
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.
Any tips on how to crush it? When I do it, I get called "a conservative" or a misogynist and get portrayed like a Taliban freedom fighter.Down Low said:Sorry to say this, but the truth is sometimes painful to hear.
You guys are political babes in the woods. You don't know how to vanquish feminism because you don't know how to play liberals against themselves, don't know how to build up your real stealth movement by setting up your undependable allies into a scapegoatable, pretend movement, and so on.
Look at the way the OP phrased the issue: passively. "Will feminism burn itself out?" He didn't ask "What can we do to crush feminism?" No esprit de corps. No plan for concrete action. I just cringe when I read stuff like this.
Bumsniff, I'm not knocking you personally, because I see no reason why you'd be any better equipped to tackle the problem than anybody else.
TL;DR: Politics is the action of people. People don't "go away" and their action doesn't "burn out."

Generally, society can afford to blow money on liberalism only when the champagne's flowing. However, as the world economy declined over the last 40 years, and as many candles of liberalism were blown out, feminism florished.Scaramouche said:Dear Howiestern,
"So Down Low....how can we crush feminism?".....Well at the moment with great difficulty...My belief is that maybe only a very small proportion of folk are opinion formers,maybe 5% or so...not a lot you think,but how many serious anti feminists are there?....If you bunched together all the posters on what we call the Manosphere,you might get five posters for each State of The Union,maybe a hundred for the Brits and their Dominions,even less for the Rest...Whilst deferring to my learned colleague
Down Low,his post seems permeated by his own sense in the futility of the exercise!
Totally agree in that, feminism is a virus which needs a guest to feed it, in this case the government and tax money, being feminism against nature cannot sustain itself naturally.Bokanovsky said:As a man, there are many things that you can do to fight feminism. And they are things that do not involve picketing, lobbying or other forms of overt political activism. A few examples:
1) Do not give money to charities, especially mega-charities like the United Way. They are heavily invested in feminist and liberal causes.
2) Figure out a way to (legally) minimize your taxes. It goes without saying that feminism relies on state sponsorship. The less money the state gets, the less it will be able to spend on feminist causes.
3) In the same vein as #2, always vote for a political party that advocates lower taxes, even if it's tax breaks for the rich that you personally don't benefit from. The less money the state gets, the less will be available to the feminists.
4) If you are in a position of authority, i.e. you are an employer, do not hire any female employees who display feminist tendencies. Also, do not tolerate any disrespect on behalf of the female staff towards their male co-workers (a serious problem in many workplaces nowadays).
5) Become successful and respected in your field of work. Make other men look up to you. Once you earn their respect, use your new power to influence their political thinking.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
