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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Gotta disagree with you on this one; Grad level stats class here behind my belt too.Rollo Tomassi said:41-70 was my count, but bear in mind that you're going to skew your results with 30 point jumps like this. You've got a 20 point jump between 21-40 and the higher you go, the bigger the statistical variance. I understand your logic, but you might want to rethink your ranges. My actual tally is 43 (or at least thats where I lose count), but there's a whole world of difference between that and 70 partners. Also, age is going to statistically skew your results too.
Quality over quantity? That doesn't really apply here. The idea of this place is to enable men to be sexually satisfied. You can either be satisfied by being in a LTR or simply dating around.Broham said:This is the dumbest poll ever.
What ever happened to quality over quantity?
Numbers mean sh*t if most of your lays are hb1-5, unless you find Dorito rolls and lazy eyes attractive.
I bet the numbers would be much lower if the criteria was hb7+.
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.
I also voted "0". Couldn't help myself...penkitten said:sadly, i voted zero for a good excuse.
# of lays is like bench, people always round upMavrick said:It's about the quality of women you are obtaining, not the quantity.
I've got quantity, but yet to find quality.
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.
Thats basically what I said in the first page.MacAvoy said:I honestly don't know. I stopped trying to count at 30. I stopped counting because I realized that it was just a stupid number and made no impact on my life. I honestly have no clue where I am at. By the time I got that far, I had enough skills that it didn't matter.
LOL quoting myselfMaxtro said:Going back to my earlier point. Once a man has hit 20 he pretty much knows what he is doing. The only thing preventing himself from getting more women is a lack of desire. If he wanted to have a high body count, the he would, obviously it is not his skills or lack thereof that is holding him back.
I come from the same school of thought. I value my privacy to the nth degreee.guru1000 said:I refuse to answer on grounds that one day it might become incriminating.
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.
My thoughts exactly.Maxtro said:LOL what are you guys afraid of? That somehow somebody will figure out who you are by your handle? Then they somehow figure out what vote you picked from an anonymous poll? And even if all that happened how can you be incriminated?
"Honey, I found out"
"Found what out"
'When you told me that you were only with 3 girls, you lied to me"
"Huh what"
"I hacked the Sosuave board and found out that you voted that you were with 40-50 women. I hate you!"
"Curse you Sosuave and your polls! If only I hadn't voted!"
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.
