If I do that...There will be a few hundred threads on this...
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.

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.
Djism is about becoming to best you can be. If not masturbating makes that happen then good for you.Originally posted by Francisco d'Anconia

And if the only thing that is holding you back from being the best that you can be is your propensity to masturbate, you are a better man than I. I must be wasting my time trying to build a real estate empire, completing my PhD and becoming irresistible to women. If I only had to worry about not masturbating to become the best that I can be, my life would suddenly have purpose.Originally posted by Vincent

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.
Your such a brag man, so pathetic! I bet your one of them guys who approches like this.Originally posted by Francisco d'Anconia

Any of you guys remember the Army's old catch phrase? What if they felt the same way as this guy? Think about it:
"Be, all that you can be (don't masturbate) in the Arrrrrrrrmy!"![]()

Just kidding man. If you don't like the thread what you getting involved for?

Bored on that and reading masturbation threads on ss.com instead ehJust bored and wanted to get a rise out of people. It's too easy...
Yep. Sad, isn't it. I was actually compelled to post in this thread just because it seemed to be one of the most active. I would have thought the most active would be about approaching or qualifying women. But nope, one of the most active threads is about self gratification. Well, I guess we should blame this on Bush too....Originally posted by Hot Ice

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.

there are lots of more useful ways to determine how disciplined you are... studyin, workin out, readin, learnin new languages, takin up a sport...Originally posted by S0LID
It shows how disciplined you are.
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.
