"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

I've been Involved in the redpill manosphere since 2013, I was still a teenager when I first learnt everything. I was able to grow and learn a lot, but I always desired marriage and kids. I have never once in my life desired casual sex with dozens of women.

After all this time I think I have learnt everything there is to know, and that it's time to move on and close this chapter of my life.

I will be leaving this forum and the whole redpill manosphere.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Roosh didn't set out for that, either. A lot of us didn't. Them's the breaks when you live in a cultural open sewer. You can imbibe poison or nothing at all.

Hehe, you’ll be back, you can check out, but you can never leave. It’s been tried before…
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

"Relax, " said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

Nah you do you, get out of the manoswamp. Take the knowledge and use it when needed.

He'll be back. A wife and kids aren't going to just magically appear in 2023 Australia.

Look for a poster named "Weimar" in about a week or so.

The most dangerous phrase in the English language is "I already know that"
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Getting a wife and kids now in a Western nation is a challenge. I've seen it in my social circle (see 1st link). To the untrained eye in the outside world, a lot of my social circle looks good. However, like the 2nd link and 3rd link will illustrate, it's likely a momentary illusionary state. I have some other people I know who have had divorces, including divorces with children. My local area social circle hasn't gotten to that point for the most part, but it is likely forthcoming. A lot of people would think I'm a pessimist when I say that, but there's a lot of realism to the last sentence.

Since 2013? Doesn’t seem like you learned much.

Female sexual license is a cancer that will drain every trace of vitality and virtue from society until it's a twisted, desiccated corpse.

I have seen dudes successfully leave a forum and never come back, especially back in the days with Good Looking Loser, but those guys usually got laid a lot due to the forum, had their fun, and then realized that it was time to move on from game and sex. Sure, they might settle down later on but they have had their fun. I have never seen a guy that struggled with women or struggled to get laid successfully leave a forum. Most of the times, that guy comes back because he knows he left a lot on the table. OP will be back until he successfully gets laid a lot and then has his fill with the game.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

OP's avatar looks exactly what Greta Thunberg would look like if she's a dude.

The next time OP got one-itis over some chick, he'll crawl back here under a new nickname. Mark my words!

Hi Zimbabwe,
Just like marriage counsellors suggest maybe have a trial separation for a few weeks
I thought your post on Brocalli very informed,be careful.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.
