haha it's appreciated anyway, I'm just glad no fighting happened.Desert Fox said:damn I shoulda read the post before mine...fvck it. lol good luck
I'll keep the advice in mind.
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.

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.

That kid is a p*ssythebestthing said:Just to let everyone know, the fight was roughly 7 hours ago. I showed up, his friends were a bunch of tight-pants, eyeliner wearing skater emo *****es, and when a friend of mine walked up they looked at eachother like they were scared, lmao.
So **** was getting underway, and we see this lady walking up to us. Turns out, it's the kids mom. She comes up, asks what the hell we're doing here, ask what the deal is. My sister's like 'This little kid won't leave my brother alone.'
And she's like 'OH, he's the one that molested that girl up there?'
It's like dead silent, and my friend stephen just busts out "Oh GOD, I wouldn't molest that thing."
Even the mom laughed, ended up backhanding her kid in front of us, then took him home.
Just wanted to throw the update out there for everyone that's been helping.
Here's what you do. Next time you see him, punch the f*cker in the face. Right out of the blue when he doesn't expect it. Kick his ass, don't take no sh*t. And stop being so scared of getting your ass kicked. Almost no one ever got seriously hurt in a high-school fight. An what if you receive a few punches, SO WHAT. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.No fighting, fortunately, which is what I wanted to avoid in the first place. I was only doing it to get the kid off my ass, but even then he's still texting me and calling me a *****.
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.
Original kid left me alone.Colerbear said:Yeah keep your chin tucked in hands up and whatever you do. DONT stop hitting him. And to give a punch you need to take a punch so if you cant take a couple punches dont even plan on going.
You could win the fight with this piece of advice alone.snowdog said:Yea, that's the way. Show that f*cker you're not scared.
If things are about to go haywire, be sure to be the first one to punch. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Dude don't go starting some new **** now or you'll just end up in the same situation again. You gotta be the bigger man and just let this dramatic bull end already.thebestthing said:Original kid left me alone.
Kids brother is the one talking **** to me now. Him and his band are playing at a local venue this Friday. We're attending, just to start trouble.
It was yesterday, actually. I decided against attending. Everything's been quiet all day.Get-With-It said:Dude don't go starting some new **** now or you'll just end up in the same situation again. You gotta be the bigger man and just let this dramatic bull end already.
