around here we fight....then decide whos the pack leader.
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.
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.
You hit an important point everywomanshero!everywomanshero said:Guys be very careful what you are considering here.
Keep in mind some people have been convicted of assult for what is basically self-defense. An assualt charge can really fvck up the rest of your life. Is anyone on earth worth having trouble the rest of your life?
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.
jesus. yep, some guys are just unbalanced, testosterone-pumped psychos. It's best avoiding fights unless there's no way around it or you know exactly what you're getting into (ie you never know if the guy's a cage fighter, or if he has nine of his homeboys 20 feet away ready to pound your ass after you're finished with him).Freddy1 said:I know someone that killed someone and went to jail for it.
Basically what happen was that some guy started to hit on him and started to touch his leg. He freaked out and started to beat the crap out of the guy. His father once told him that if you get into a fight you "keep going" so thats what exactly he did. The guy went down on the floor and he started to pound him and kick him. And thats how the guy died (bad advice from his dad of course). He spent 7 years in jail for it. Not worth it in my book.
Believe it or not the guy who tried to spit at me when I was in the bus moving away was like in his late 20's or early 30's ( I kidd you not).blinkwatt said:They are more then likely stupid kids trying to show off to someone. Its like egging houses when you are young, its dumb,childish and just plain rude. These people you shouldn't say anything more then "hi" to and move on. They will not enhance your life in any way.
Then thats what a pistol is for.Scrumtulescence said:jesus. yep, some guys are just unbalanced, testosterone-pumped psychos.

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.
Jujistu wont help you in a street fight. It's all about adrenaline, and using it to your advantage, thats what makes a "good" fighter. By the way, I dont advocate violence, but we dont live in a glass world, sometimes its simply survival and self defense. Looking for a fight, is another thing entirely.Freddy1 said:I had another encounter (christ do I have bad luck or what!). People have been picking on me all my life.
I was on the bus and two guys (or more?) were making fun of my physical appearance (because I have big ears). I didnt want to escalate it into a physical confrontation because I was out number and there has been several incidents of shootings and stabings aboard the public transportation system. I just ignore them and pretending I didnt hear their taunts and insults.
How should I had handle it differently?
( I difinatly need to work on weights more and learn soome decent selfdefense. I dont think Brazilian jujistu would have helped me fighting off two guys here.)
