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.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
What makes you think he wants the Hotties? Only 4% of women under 30 are hot/staceys. he swiped yes on 47% of women, which means mostly average girls and even some 3/10 chubba chubs most likely.In my experience big juicy muscles + dog photo gets the hotties matching.
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 I'm British. And yes dating apps are useless. I originally stopped using them in 2010, then i tried them again in 2016. A waste of time for an average looking guy [healthy weight] looking for a looksmatch.Why do all of these black pill videos have some weird voice speaking with a British accent? Is it supposed to sound more sinister and apocalyptic or something?
Tinder is completely useless in Canada. Most of the profiles are fake. The other apps, which are not great, are still way better than Tinder.
If you think a guy who is struggling on dating apps will somehow magically get better results by cold approaching in a place like London then that's peak delusionalHe needs to get off of dating apps. They are built to profit the developers. He will continue to struggle forever on there and try find the culprit for his dating failures whilst never realising the game was rigged from the start. The physical world is better built for success in terms of dating. Stop swiping, grow some balls and approach women.
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.
He is, and he's made a living from it. $500'000 in 5 years.Christ this bloke isn't still peddling this black pill stuff![]()
Unfortunately, the Black Pill crap ain't going away anytime soon and now that "Looksmaxxing" has become mainstream and is adjacent to the black pill community (far moreso than Redpill) it woudln't shock me if Black Pill will surpasses Red pill within 3-5 years, the closer we get to the AI singulartiy the moren nilshtic people will embrace the Black Pill, and don't even get me started on the numbers for Gen-Z men when it comes to employment, sexlessness, and living at home with their parents.....Christ this bloke isn't still peddling this black pill stuff![]()
I've been watching videos on using AI. They almost all have British voices babbling a mile a minute. At least this guy has a reasonable speed.Why do all of these black pill videos have some weird voice speaking with a British accent? Is it supposed to sound more sinister and apocalyptic or something?

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.
