Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after 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.

Agree on everything except that millenials have no fault for being the cvnts they really are.
If someone coming from a crappy family that destroy his self esteem when he is in the weakest point can stand up and succeed then some random cvnt who got misled and spoiled from his family can learn to deal with the real world without getting depressed.

I dont buy that a group goes out and only takes one phone. I also dont think its my job to nurture a millenials emotions so they feel better at work. Overall good video though. Agree with most of the rest of it.

Democracy: The God The Failed
Hans Hermann Hoppe basically explained why this is happening from a structural point of view. As a democracy ages, politician compete for votes by promising things to people that they wouldn't otherwise get on their own. This creates both increasing moral hazard (everybody believes there should be a safety net for EVERYTHING) and increased time preference (inability to delay gratification).
Unfortunately, this is only goes in one direction and will only reverse itself through a long and painful collapse.
Given that robots are coming and global leaders are already floating the idea of a "basic income" (everybody on welfare) this will only get worse, not better.
Everybody will get dumber, fatter, and less capable of self directed thought.
Bad for society at large, but good for forward thinking males who wanna get some.

The Harvard Business Review had a really interesting paper on businesses. In the middle they detail how generations (and their behavior) are cyclic. I could be wrong, but I think the millennials are the rebirth of the 60's flower children. Very interesting read, if only for that information.

"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.

Generational Theory: 80 year cycle with four repeating archetypes. Every 80 years there's a big ass war that kills a bunch of people.
According the the theory, Millennials' are the "Hero" Generation. They're supposed to "rise up" and fix things when they go off the rails.
Compared today's "Hero" Generation (Millennials') to the previous "Hero" Generation (GI's who fought Nazi's)
We are SO FVCKED.

@taiyuu_otoko huh...last time I reflected on this information I thought I read that the millennials were looking for a hero (and then I wondered if trump was going to be that hero)
Huh, looking at the table above....I just dont see it in millennials....unless you look at the negative reputation entry.
Yea...millennials...doesn't look good, eh?

Great stuff and theory... you forgot 1 thing... Disease... every 70 years or so... mankind was faced with a disease that wiped out alot of people from all social structure.
It didn't help to keep life easy and did help shape generations of ''never complaint''
