"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Every guy out there is an AFC or has issues...the term Man means nothing.

This is some serious shyt here going on folks. The world is crumbling.

It's sad to say, but i believe most people in general including guys have self image issues. And most arent happy with themselves...whether they seek validatioin, low self esteem, self conscious issues.

Ill admit no ones perfect. But even some of my closest friends have issues, mainly cause they make it an issue. Blah blah, my spine's weak, im short, im fat, ugly, no one talks to me, im skinny...the list goes on. Honestly im sort of sick of hearing ppl wine about their problems, especially my friends. When they get mopey and **** they cling to me like glue. Moping around's not gonna do ****, go out there and deal with it, if it's skinny workout, if you think you're ugly change your wardrobe. Sometimes i wish i could i meet someone normal who has his **** together.

That's why so much AFC's in the world exist. Every man's been pussified to the core that their ego can never save them. It's a battle they'll never win cause the battle is within themselves.

In the college class setting...the guys talk to the guys and the girls talk to the girls..wtf is up with that? At least chat up the ladies, bust their balls or anything. Group of guy buddies chilling in the corner of the room or hallway, little ****fest going on, woohoo. And then there are guys who try, but instead make friends with the girls and goes LJBF land.

Where have all the real men gone?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

"Where have all the coyboys gone?"

Even though that song is pretty gay the message is clear.

We could sit here arguing that society is at fault, parents are at fault, we're at fault.

But honestly everyone's at fault. We lost track of who we are and we don't know where we're heading.

At least there's aout 18k people who know where they're heading. :)

Almost anybody who's living in the Western world, and faces media bombs day after day will have self-steem issues. That's why girl's go anorexic, and guys run to buy the latest brand of sneakers/pink shirt/car. Otherwise you are not "in". Anybody asking how to look "fly" or stuff like that is just asking for better ways to be part of the sheep (as commendable it might be that someone wants to look presentable).

Shyt, even the guys who think they're above the crowd because they go quoting Tyler from "Fight Club" just want deep in their hearts to have chieseled abs like Brad Pitt... and later go to ebay and buy the"Fight Club" collectors dvd, not to mention a red leather jacket. Ironic, isn't it?

You honestly think that everybody has such incredibly low self esteem? I feel sorry for you. And I might add - stop projecting your self image problems upon other people.

Sure, everybody goes through periods in their life where they wonder who they are, or if they're doing 'the right thing". Some people float through their entire lives feeling this way, and those are the people who I feel the most sorry for.

The point is, there are plenty of perfectly secure people out there who don't feel the need to whine about their problems - or even feel that they don't have any problems (because they don't sweat the small stuff). Just because you happen to know a lot of people who like to complain about their problems, constantly seek validation from others, jump on fads, dream about having 'chisled abs' but never go to the gym, etc. does not mean that everyone is like that.

Stop over generalizing - and please stop rationalizing the fact that you allow yourself to be unhappy. If you don't like the way things are - fix it if you can, accept it if you can't, but either way get over it and stop *****ing.
 

"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.

As a native New Yorker... I resent that statement. :)

*Sarcasm button*

I agree... but it's true with all people in general. Everyone has issues, but the important thing is to not let those issues dictate any part of how you go through life. For example, I have a big head. Literally. Is there anything I can do about it? Nope... so why let it bother me? People who get hung up on how they are "too short so they can't get girls" or "too ugly so they can't get girls" are just making excuses...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.
