My name's Paper Boy! I'm 17 years old and I like to play basketball! I don't drink or do drugs because it's not good for you! I don't have problems with people who do because it's your choice and it's really none of my business. I wouldn't argue with someone about it, I'd just state the facts. I'm not afraid to be proud and stand up for my beliefs even when other people think it's "uncool"! I know I'm cool and that's all that matters!
"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.
Hey, guess what everybody?!?!?

"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.
The facts are out there.Paper Boy said:

I would never fault you for what you choose to do or not to do, but for your own sake, get all of the facts available and make a choice based on that, not just some of the facts that the socially conservative feed to you.Paper Boy said:
Drinking or drug use recreationally will never be good for your health, it's not nearly as bad as people have been lead to believe when used responsibly, intelligently, and moderately. Plus, people's health had almost nothing to do with the initial banning of most drugs anyway. Most early 20th century drug legislation was a method of racial social control.
Here's an interesting watch for you....

actually stuides have proven that a glass of wine with your meal can be very healthy ....
so its not that NOT taking any drugs or alcohol is good and healthy , its that knowing how to take them in portions is good and healthy.....
lot of people in todays society take too much too fast , like here in norway i see people in rush to drink on friday nights ,they pour it into theyr bodies as fast as possible to get high , while I, enjoy my drink slowly and i know when to stop , because im not really interested in getting hammered more interested in getting a buzz but staying in control........

Reminds me...a week ago I was on the bus, these two kids were talking about how they found a cigarette and wanted to smoke it. So I leaned over and told them that all the cool kids smoked.
They believed me, got off the bus, and last I saw they were heading into the 7-11 to buy a lighter.
I've never felt so evil!

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.
You're sick, lol.diplomatic_lies said:Reminds me...a week ago I was on the bus, these two kids were talking about how they found a cigarette and wanted to smoke it. So I leaned over and told them that all the cool kids smoked.

You sound like one of those kids who has just watched a really poor do-gooder motivational video at school and taken it a bit too much to heart...Paper Boy said:

This thread is pointless. You sound like a nerd. No joke.
I don't drink very often and I refuse to do drugs. As good as weed smells, and as tempting as it is, I've had some personal expiriences that have turned me off from it.
Now, I've read in MANY places that an alcoholic beverage (one, not a binge) is actually relatively safe and beneficial for you.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
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.
