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.
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.
That's what we already basically have in ghettos. Stupid.Children should be raised communally and by the state. The nuclear family model is a breeding ground of deceptions, mediocrities, treacheries, hypocrisy, and violence. It needs to be abolished.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Children should be raised communally and by the state. The nuclear family model is a breeding ground of deceptions, mediocrities, treacheries, hypocrisy, and violence. It needs to be abolished.
The feminists dont like her for the same reason "human rights group" dont like extremists, while they share the same goal, the first ones still need to be accepted since it takes government support and politics to steal tax money or manipulate schools.Peaks&Valleys said:Looks to me like the Feminists don't like her either. It seems as though people are accusing this loony toon of being a feminist and that doesn't quite sit right with them (probably because it gives the MRM/MRA too much easy fodder). So, to turn this into a win/win situation, I'd say just to start calling this little nut house group a bunch of Feminists......then let the two of them go at it. While we sit back, eat our popcorn, and laugh our a$$es off.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Similarly, some of the more abrasive anti-women people in mens rights hurt the cause by looking too extreme. Opponents will always drag these guys out as typical examples to discredit the whole.Who Dares Win said:The feminists dont like her for the same reason "human rights group" dont like extremists, while they share the same goal, the first ones still need to be accepted since it takes government support and politics to steal tax money or manipulate schools.
