No, not really.
But I have considered that I'm domestically violent.
What a great guy you are. I think its awesome you are a part of this forum. You really bring that certain something to this forum. Never change.
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.
No, not really.
But I have considered that I'm domestically violent.
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.
What do YOU bring?What a great guy you are. I think its awesome you are a part of this forum. You really bring that certain something to this forum. Never change.
If thats the conclusion you've come to personally. Other peoples opinions and projections are like aholesNo, not really.

What's really at play here is ideology not biology.I would argue that is the evolutionary explanation for many of our social customs when it comes to the different genders.
I think talking about "inherent value" is very much misplaced here though. There is no inherent value to any of our social interactions, rather than furthering our genes. Please explain what the "inherent value" of a man is if not that?
I feel like you are trying to make a normative argument here, while the underlying topic is cold biology. There is no fairness in evolution.

What exactly do you mean by that?What's really at play here is ideology not biology.
It's also arguable that social norms are the exact opposite of biological realities. Language, culture, society, morality, norms etc seem to rise like a superstructure from the [biological] base. Even though we have a disposition to think of the base as causing the superstructure [ideology... but the whole sentence also gives you the ideology equation - underlying natural irrational causes ----> phenomena], there is another way of conceiving causation. We could think about those social norms developing from rationality and teleology [where we pursue ends as rationally/ culturally conceived]. So in this picture, whilst the rose rises from the dirt, it develops and rises towards something.. it's being is also one of becoming.. a realizing of its own nature. This is also biology, but it now has a fuller meaning due to the old classical sense [there is no progress to be found in perennial thought].What exactly do you mean by that?
Maybe I am overvaluing the impact of biology, but you cannot deny that many social norms (is that what you mean?) are rooted in biological realities.
If she sucks d!ck and doesn't ask for moneyI'd never say they lack value. Some lack heart and character.. Have there own agenda.. But a good women with looks, brains and personality is of high value imo
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
haha that tooIf she sucks d!ck and doesn't ask for money
