"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If you are in a relationship, or you are looking for a relationship for validation or to fill a void, get out of it now and stop searching. It's better to end a co-dependent relationship and learn to be independent and unplugged than it is to stay in one or search for one.

You cannot and should not depend on another person for your happiness and value in the world. If you do, one day (most likely), your world will come crashing down around you, and you will have a hard time climbing out of your hole.

Always find yourself and be that person that you love the most. Love yourself the most. Then when you go in a relationship you won't be expecting anything from them, and you won't be let down. Your partner should only be a piece of the puzzle, not the puzzle itself. She should be an added bonus to your life, and not your life.

It's time we as men find value in ourselves and offer our value to these ladies. We have to stop asking these women to fill our half-filled cups with their validation they unwilling bestow on us because of our desperation. We are men, and we offer our strength to women. We do not get our strength from them. Feminism cannot offer masculinity to a man.

We are strong, not only with muscle, but in mind. We do not beg, do not put a woman above ourselves, do not cry over women who have cheated or manipulated us. We control ourselves and we don't care what the outcome is because we as men live in the moment.

At this very moment it's time for weak men to change. It's time to find courage, strength, and validation in themselves. No longer will we be stuck in the past and dwell on what a woman has done to us and hold that against all future women because we control the frame. We control our destiny. We will stop looking to the future and stop worrying about the outcome with women because we as men only live in the NOW. We as men only live in the MOMENT!

Rise soldiers of misfortune and misguidance. March forward and don't look back. Be brave, be strong, and live in the moment.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Great post. Always respect your masculinity. Dont turn your back on it and it wont turn its back on you.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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 do know it's a joke, right? I'm starting to wonder about you.

Um, nevermind. You already said that.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I would choose love over diamonds every time!

But I have a confession ... I am screwing your best mate, so it is cool that you are not in love with me, cos HE is! :p
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Good post, Mavrick.

Emotional Attachment is usually ALL or nothing for men.

They usually lack the Emotional Attachment Switch or gauge. In which they can invest emotionally a certain degree according to their resources, and theri needs being met.
it is important to be able to attach oneself carefully, and with full respect to one's feelings and resources.

And it is important to detach oneself when one is not being fulfilled by another in the way the would like.
And still be emotionally strong enough to not wish that person harm or any negative feelings.
When one's needs are being met, one can GIVE more freely.
When one is feeling lack or scarcity, one usually withdraws one's emotional resources from others, and often from oneself.

And perhaps the greatest sign of growth and abundance is to STILL be emotionally attached, to Love another even if that person does not love you back.



Lishy, the usual them of 'soldiers' , or preferably "Warriors' or alluding to military themes or war is a powerful one for men.
It is something that is part of being a man.

There are deep reasons for this.
And they dont necessarily mean a man versus woman War.
The notion of a Warrior or Soldier resonates very strongly for a lot of men.

And many women have no idea how to relate to it and understand it.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
Most men only appear weak because they are beaten down be desperation due to excessive competition for a few women. Average women keep raising their standards higher and higher pushing many men out of the equation and forcing them to go to great lengths to get a woman.. Ok yeh we could say that these men should just ignore these women and do with out but it is nit in a heterosexual mans nature to do without interaction with females.

co-dependency = destruction of both man and woman

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
