"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.

If we are knowledgeable men of action then why do we ignore RED flags?

Is it because we don't trust ourselves?

Is it because we don't have options?

Is it just because we are getting sex?

Is it because we pretend to be in control and not needy but deep down know that with all our knowledge of red flags, our gut feelings, our SS support system, talk of being men of action etc. that we need and crave that female validation even at the expense of ignoring destructive red flags?

Why do we go back for more abuse? Why do we seek out the same types of toxic women while avoiding sane women? Are toxic women what we feel we deserve while striving for improvement?


Do we fear a normal healthy relationship?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Are we more content with ignoring red flags because we simply talk ourselves up while deep down are afraid of conflict?

At what point do we point the finger at ourselves for being our own problems than everyone else? Or do we continue sleeping in denial.

If we were a knowledgeable man of action women wouldn't display red flags in the first place. Red flags are a sign of low interest.

A better question is: why are you assuming failure?

Is it because girls never stay with you?

Is it because you're not attractive?

Is it because you can't earn a good living?

Ridiculous.

To assume that is to assume Hollywood actors, models, billionaires, top executives, pro athletes etc. never have problems or encounter gold diggers, whack jobs, stalkers etc and that they all live perfect lives with eternally devoted women.

nice try though
 

"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.

Ooh - you're Brad Pitt, right? You're absolutely none of those things. Talk about nice try.

Rich a-holes can act like losers too, that doesn't mean we should have a loser attitude.

But tell me you didn't just mention male models as the epitome of success. As if this is your first account here. Something tells me I've b!tch-slapped your sorry as-s under a different moniker.

Do you whine to your girl and say "WHYYYYY????"

RED flags aren't a sign of low interest. They're a sign of mental illness, entitlements, poor upbringing, dysfunctional relationships, personality disorders, physical, emotional or mental abuse etc.

As if mental illness etc just up and disappears because a woman likes you or she's only mentally ill etc because she doesn't.

Well you know a powerful alpha male doesn't have to deal with those problems. Women full submit and cater to his every wish. Dysfunctional women become very functional compared with a man like that, right? LOL.

Their level of competition may rise to an even HIGHER level and they are MORE of a problem, cheating, scheming, gaslighting, etc even more strongly to try to "even the score".

Ha, ha...you have choose to ignore red flags sometimes. Otherwise, you'd rule every woman out as a suitable companion, date, partner, etc... Every woman has issues. You just have to decide if the benefits outweigh the risk as the saying goes...

Let us be for real now. Most guys (me included) will put up with obvious red flags as long as it involves hooking up on a fairly regular basis. Unfortunately, that is the only thing that some women have to offer a man.

Yup...
 

"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.

Here we go again. Another BPD thread. Indeed if you are staying with women who show signs of mental illness, you are f*cked up, Mikeman.

For starters, alpha men don't (laugh out loud).

Next, alpha men pick the MOST FUNCTIONAL women, because - get this - THEY HAVE A CHOICE OF WOMEN.

"Whah BPD" = Oneitis loser who can't get another date so he convinces himself he was a victim. This is like fat women whining about Patriarchy.

This is like saying "As muscular hunks, why do we ignore signs that the women we are dating are fat girls?"

It doesn't happen. Hunks don't date fatties. You guys are low quality men who got dumped by women who were better than you. You guys are probably the same men saying money doesn't mean anything.

Projecting what? Not fat girls. But speaking of red flags...

 

"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.

Leave your house sometime instead of just posting online. There are guys who work out who's girlfriend gains or they both eventually gain weight.

You seem to have a stunted, disturbed adolescent view of the world.

According to the alpha hunk it's never a woman's fault. never mental illness or any negative a woman could possess.

it's because she didn't like you because you weren't alpha enough.

If you were alpha enough they could put you in mental hospitals and everyone would be instantaneously cured because you're alpha like that.

If it's her fault, there is a solution. Find a girl who is not at fault, Captain Save a Ho.
 

"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.
