Which is the right amount of "Emotion" a man should feel?
How do you know you're emotionally strong, or weak?
How do you know you're emotionally strong, or weak?
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.
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.
If you do sh-it like thisHow do you know you're emotionally strong, or weak?
Not this, but if you put my favourite music song I could.If you do sh-it like this
You're certainly not emotionally strong
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.
And if The Ol'Ball'N'Chain finally succumbs to brain cancer, a fella is entitled to dance an exuberant jig in public, because he's finally free to pursue their 21 year old au pair. This is cause for celebrationNot to say you can't be upset with the situation but it shouldn't lead you that extreme of an emotion unless it's something major(like your Mom dying, etc).

What other types of songs are there? In any event, it's a relief to learn that you're not crying over trailers for the latest Star Wars product, recording it, then putting that s-it online for the entire planet to see. Don't start nowNot this, but if you put my favourite music song I could.

Having any reaction to John Mayer's "music" than isn't sheer disgust at it's blandness is indicative that you've got something amiss, yepI can be emotionally weak to John Mayer songs.
For this I mean that i can feel the domapine shock in my brain when I listen to his music.
Is that showing I am too emotional man?
Yes frissonDo you feel 'frisson', like the hair on your arms sticking up, with music that stirs you emotionally? That's perfectly normal, means that you're sensitive and acknowledge your feelings.
Do you feel 'weak' and 'teary-eyed' with music that stirs you emotionally? That's feminine and too emotionally unstable to be masculine.
Ahaha, do you hate? Well, anything it's personalHaving any reaction to John Mayer's "music" than isn't sheer disgust at it's blandness is indicative that you've got something amiss, yep
