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.
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.

Stop making up your own damn meanings for words and arguing in illogical circles.
Jerk=treats people bad.
Nice=treats people well.
That is all...
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I respect my girlfriend and all girls that I come in contact with unless they give me a reason not to. I have met many that do not give me respect so I do not respect them.Originally posted by Mr Spitfire
That is interesting you mention respect. An obvious lie. Good job, I respect a man that lies to women.
I have alot of love for women but virtually no respect.
If I respect a girl that is good looking she is GF material for me.
Most guys that fake respect get girls easy. Every guy that I knew respected women sincerely was a chump.
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.
the point I was making was to show respect but dont actually have it for women you want to bang. Until a woman has children she has very little respect from me. I may show it but that doesnt mean I have it.
If a woman does not have children I dont really have much respect for her automatically. If I know for a fact a girl is not a slut or loyal to her boyfriend/husband or still a virgin and over 18 then I have respect for her. But 99% of women are sluts, period and they don't do anything to earn respect.so you cant respect a women unless she has a child?
BS, I show love. I show some respect. I dont actually HAVE respect. That is why I don't get manipulated by women. I don't respect them enough to let them have power over me.I can see why you dont get women..you dont value them.
What did a woman do to earn my respect? Raise a child? Qualify for the Indy 500? Id like to here what said prostitute has done that should earn my respect. Women arent noble, MEN ARE.just sad. really sad....what did a women do to you for you to think this way?
You sound like you are crying now.you say not to cry ever either? the funny thing is you think your being a man when your not beign a man at all.
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.
Actually no, you have that the other way around. Men can usually tell whether or not a guy is a "good guy" much better than women and vice versa.To women, a nice zguy is exactly that...a guy who is a nice person.
To men, a nice guy is a desperate, clingy guy who only ACTS nice because he thinks it will get him into the girl's pants and heart. He pretends to be a friend when all along he wants more. He does favors with expectations that it will make the woman fall in love with him.
Why not, they lie to you?I don't lie to women.....
I thought the sunglass, cool guy emoticon meant you are lying. I thought it was a joke. Fine, you don't lie to girls......what are you talking about?
You shouldnt hit women but you should only be honest with the ones that are worthy of respect. Some are worthy of respect. Most arent, unless they have kids....I don't hit or lie to women. I'm honest to them.
You SHOW respect. I wonder if you really do have respect for them. What do they do to earn your respect? What is respectful about them. You said you AUTOMATICALLY respect them. Why? 99% of them are lying sluts that would gladly take advantage of a man and don't do anything noble.....but I show respect to them and they respect me back.
A Bad joke from the horse himself. I don't even know who that guy is.Originally posted by backbreaker
DJ4real, you've watched to many clint eastwood movies, and have no idea what a real man is.
You want to praise a woman for doing something that she was put on this earth to do?Originally posted by Mr Spitfire

Being a mother is more respectable than 99% of things a man will ever do. But asside from that women in general are worthless.
The subject of Danica Patrick came up on here recently. That is a girl worthy of respect. What other girls without kids can compare to her? She is the shiit.

You sound like you are crying now.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
