"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.
Groom shower?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Nothing I like more than a group of harpies trying to convince my fiance to be "bad" one last time... well at least until two years later and they create some reason why everything is my fault and I "deserve" her cheating on me.

Please tell me what's pvssy about this.
I think it's a great idea. Why the fvck should the women get to have all the fun? An excuse to hold an all-man party with no whiny, b1tchy women around can't possibly be a bad thing...
Just because a wedding shower consists of a woman getting 'showered' with dildos, panties, condoms, and appliances she'll never use, it doesn't mean the man is going to get showered with the same things. Getting new power tools, having a good round of bowling, and getting tanked sounds like a great fvcking way to throw a party!

I think its a pretty good idea, too. What more does a man want than to hang out with his buddies????
It takes a wedding or a funeral to get my old friend group together all at once.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

All this is is one more example of the marriage industry's never ending quest for further commercialization.
And you can't throw one of these "groom shower parties" on a regualr basis?
You need a wedding as an excuse to throw a man-party (however legitimate or illegitimate it is, that's not the issue). THAT is what is so pussified about it. Not the content (the party, tool exchange, beers, etc.), but the context (i.e. this type of party is allowed and encourage ONLY if the guy is getting married).

Does the same go for the bachelor party?
IMO, marriage only becomes 'pvssified' if the man hands his pants, his balls, and his brain over to the woman. There's nothing in this 'Man Shower' that indicates that he's going to do such things. In fact, it suggests the opposite.

Great idea, provided the "shower" consists of cases of Jack Daniels, strippers shipped in from the orient followed up by an afternoon at the pistol range the following day. Don't laugh, I went to a bach party yrs ago that had all these elements.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Which unfortunately is par for the course with most marriages these days.Desdinova said:
However....
I don't think we have ENOUGH of these kinds of things for men. Women are encouraged to be social in this way. Why is valentines day geared toward women? How much bigger is mothers day than fathers day? It's all part of our feminized society.
Men don't get enough opportunites like this. If anything it's the opposite; the wife "doesn't allow" him to hang with the boys. Way back when the men went off to hunt and got their "man time" because they HAD to. Nowadays they are kept under lock and key.
I truly feel bad for a lot of men who are in relationships.
