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.
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.
On top of that, they don't get paid very well for the risk of loss of life.There are a lot of reasons for this. Some of them overlap.
1. Increasing obesity in males. In a more vicious sexual marketplace, many overweight/obese men are incels. However, the epidemic of sexlessness has increased to the point that even men with BMIs in the normal weight category aren't getting laid as much as they should.
2. Interference from the legislative and judicial branches of government.
3. More pandering. This is related to #2, but the military is no longer a haven for masculine guys. This is making our military weaker and the environment in the military worse.
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.
Stop watching incel BS. You will find your life much better. As for your question, no. I just think this generation is very lazy and rather take the easy road in life than the road less travelled. Why do anything when you can sit at home and play video games, go on instagram, facebook or youtube instead of actually working? That's what a lot of young dudes are doing it seems.I was listening to this, and it got me thinking:
I always felt like if you were an incel, you should max out everything(physique, fashion, money, wear lifts for height) and then learn game and play the numbers game hard af. I think that would get 95% of dudes results.Stop watching incel BS. You will find your life much better. As for your question, no.

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.
The Army, or any military branch, gives a person self respect, dignity, responsibility and turns them into men (even some ladies turn into men too). If a person has no idea what to do in their life, the military is always a good option. Basic training will knock the s hit out of you, but if you make it, your a better person in the end.I first would ask, why anyone in a sound mind would join the army? I can see this happening if you have no prospect om life and need to survive somehow, but given the chance and choice, why?
we know we are just number for politicians, wars start and end by political wish, and most of time the ones wanting and starting said wars will not even get close to the front, plus army is only worth if you are officer and up, any close to a foot soldier means you will be used on as cannon foder in some war you don't even care about.
and that questions is in general, I know then for some strange reason NA people feel pride for people in the army, but that is not a shared things for the rest of the world, unfortunate diferent of what is sold, the army, navy or air force, is not there to protect your country, but to obey the politicians in said country, and everytime you have to protect will be they interests, so in all this ask this yourself
you want to protect politicians who started all problems your country have?
The author has a 7 hour video as well.3 hour long video this time?
I will agree with this. I have as friends a set of brothers that were raised by a single mom - and with lots of their mothers' boyfriends shacking up - and they all joined the military and got the structure they had always needed.The Army, or any military branch, gives a person self respect, dignity, responsibility and turns them into men (even some ladies turn into men too).

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.

like I said no prospect, take note too, most country after you join is kinda for life, unless you discharge, it not like US who have a active and reserve, with the reserve still having to train every other year or so, other country you are FORCED to join when you have 18 to serve for a year, a waste of time, because around that time no one will hire you, and since most will also worry about college you will still be forced to join the army, so yeah I was in the army, and I will only be called during a war, but chances are if a war happens, I will just disapear and no way in hell I will fight, plus given my will if I was armed and close to a politician I will shot him myselfThe Army, or any military branch, gives a person self respect, dignity, responsibility and turns them into men (even some ladies turn into men too).

Agreed.What are the motivations for them to join?
Wage war to russians so they can embrace political correctness, taxation on workers to feed parasytes, black live matters and feminism?
Nobody wants to be a watchdog for a cvnt.
What kind of education can you achieve there beside technical one needed for war?Agreed.
That said, the military still can be a great place for poor and troubled kids to get ahead in life, and get some semblance of normality. Plus, there are obvious benefits such as the pay and education for the not so poor and troubled.
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.
