I do. What about You ?
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.
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.

if i am in an LTR i don't intend to cheat, because if its an LTR its someone i care about.
im not patient enough to be in a relationship with women that i don't consider very worthy, therefore i wouldnt be cheating.
in STRs and MLTRs whatever happens, happens, but i don't pretend to be faithful in those.

Tempted plenty enough but no, It's very easy to stray - but it takes someone who has strong moral guidance to determine "hmm, this may not be right for myself or for others."Originally posted by MightyMate

Go make some more accounts and split e-personalities. Flood us with them saying whats wrong and whats not. Nerd.Originally posted by GodsGiftToWomen
You don't cheat if you're in an exclusive LTR idiot.

I just made topic. I feel good with cheating. I dont need any justification or support. I think its a good topic for a discussion.Originally posted by SeldomSeen
now wait are you saying this because you're proud of the fact that you cheat or you want justification by asking the rest of the readers if they cheat also. I have cheated in a LTR and honestly I didnt feel any better, in fact I felt a little worse.
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.

If you want to screw multiple women, don't agree to be her boyfriend.Originally posted by GodsGiftToWomen

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.

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.
