She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
So now you're victim blaming? You're being disingenuous and I don't like to argue with disingenuous people.The guy got caught cheating in 4K, with his HR lady who is a hag, lost his job, might divorce cause of the hag, and he was exposed for paying over 40K to speak with Onlyfans bops.
