"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

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…

"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"
 

"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.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.
