But yeah, maybe both of us should shut-up so we don't get banned.
Someone asked what my Offering was, and I told them.

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
Guys who seek to tear down their fellow man and their aims and purpose do so also unto themselves. They sabotage their own success through their admissions and expressions Jealousy, Envy and Intolerance.You offer nothing but Sheol, as you were.
We must all conquer them to find Liberty, Love and Prosperity in Life!Guys who seek to tear down their fellow man and their aims and purpose do so also unto themselves. They sabotage their own success through their admissions and expressions of Jealousy, Envy and Intolerance.
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.
Not part of the thread but I'd be very careful about revelations from "God". Whatever it was, a vision or dream or inspiration, be careful about this. Saints warn about "divine visions" a lot and even if they may be from God it is better not to trust them and instead to continue to strive in virtue and divine union. God does not reiterate a religion that is already perfect and completely revealed 2000 years ago. The Church is the only institution that lasts that long, and despite many spiritual and physical wars, it still stands, unconquered. Nothing in recorded history comes even close to it.There's a difference between a Cult and a Religion. With a Cult, members are boxed in so that they can't leave without repercussions and penalties, and they're also often only allowed to associate with fellow members and no one else. But with a Religion, members are free to come and go as they please. If they want to leave, there is no impediment to them doing so. And they are also allowed to associate with whomever they please.
Mine falls under the latter; refuting your accusation.
What if what I'm teaching was exactly the same Doctrine and Precepts that Jesus was teaching His Disciples, but was never, ever really fully explained in the Bible?Not part of the thread but I'd be very careful about revelations from "God".

They save those responses for me. Currently 3 and a half years celibate, on top of a further 7 back between ages 21 and 28.Wow, I was really not expecting this; a response of the opposite nature than I predicted. I half expected people to call me a loser and a failure for taking my approach. But I'll accept the compliment.![]()
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.
As an aside, how the hell could you get into the 100+ range without contracting some STD, treatable or permanent?? I would think probability would catch up at that point, even with condoms.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Nearly lost my virginity at 16 to my then girlfriend, parents rolled in to the house and we quickly got dressed. We broke up not long after that.Quality chicks, fat girls, all females included.
Question... If you're intentionally celibate and choosing void of women in order to dedicate your life to a greater good.Just two. And I wish it were one.
The first time, I was drunk and she persisted, and I was curious what sex was like, so I did it. Then I never slept with her again.
The second time was my second girlfriend. We had a year-long whirlwind romance.
The first time was a mistake. The second time was pretty rad.
But here's my thing:
I don't believe in having sex with women I don't have genuine love and affection for. I never have, and I've never made exceptions, except that first time. I've turned women down too. I just walk out when they're expecting to get some. And it pisses them off. But I am a man of principle.
The problem with spending time pursuing women and sex for personal and physical gratification alone is not a wise investment of time. The man who wants to leave his mark on History knows better (but this is probably not for most); he only indulges his passions within the narrow confines of that which will serve him, and those he then serves, best.
I have been celibate for over a decade now. I choose this. It has empowered me to invest my time in detecting things in Life and Nature and write a book about my discoveries and conclusions that will impact and benefit many. I could not have done this were I foundling my time in chasing the next tail.
Those of us who want to make our Contribution to Humanity, we channel our sexual urges into our Offering which we build our Life's Mission around.
I love people, and I love to hear their stories and what their lives are all about and what they're going through. I also love to observe how people interact with each other. This is a great place for all that. So that's why you rarely see me actually posting here, but I spend a fair amount of time just listening in and seeking to better understand men and their problems.Question...

Why do you devote so much time on a pick up forum?

But I do plan to return to dating women with the aim of finding a loyal life mate at some time in the future.
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.
