It's a female delivering ( you all know her ), but it is incredibly well done. I'm not on her jock either...
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.
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.
only a few minutes in, but she helped that couple in CA with the 'Biggest little farm' film funding so she has my respect.It's a female delivering ( you all know her ), but it is incredibly well done. I'm not on her jock either...
My dad gave this advice years ago...Both her and Ruth bader Ginsberg warn against being jealous.
How the heck does one overcome envy/jealousy? How to let go, overcome and release it?
Some of us aren't naturally wired for it, and it won't pop up unless you have an incredible amount of marginalization and unfair dealings in your environment.Both her and Ruth bader Ginsberg warn against being jealous.

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.
What about enjoying that they are able to have that? I'm cool with it, unless they are exploitative or "dirty" to achieve those outcomes.My dad gave this advice years ago...
"Son, never count someone else's money."
Please understand the deeper meaning of that wisdom to see how illogical envy really is.
Some rich guy's money can't and won't do a thing for me. Some Chad with his hot gf (or multiple hot plates) can't logically do a thing for me.
That helped me tremendously at dismissing envious thoughts as soon as they start to enter my mind.
Absolutely. Just to be clear, I'm the type who can be happy for somebody else. I don't mean it in a "hater" sort of way.What about enjoying that they are able to have that? I'm cool with it, unless they are exploitative or "dirty" to achieve those outcomes.
It can be a fuel but it's best to introspect and figure out what the envy is rooted in as it's entirely contextual. In many scenarios it comes down to seeing someone much farther down a path than yourself and feeling frustrated/disappointed from the comparison. You should never compare yourself to others, only to your past self. To answer your question like with all self improvement it starts with mindfully catching yourself in those moments of envy and deciding whether it can be used as a healthy fuel or discarded as a thinking trap .Both her and Ruth bader Ginsberg warn against being jealous.

of course.Some of us aren't naturally wired for it, and it won't pop up unless you have an incredible amount of marginalization and unfair dealings in your environment.
In others they are quick to jealousy and envy, and use that to compete.
I think the people who are quick to jealousy, where iit's a natural "go to", will need deep therepy and alot of work to understand why this is a primary emotion. ( think about all the c0ck blockers in life )
For those who aren't naturally wired for it, they need to understand what's making them be like that, and take care of some of those stresses.
I also agree with Ophah, that Jealousy and envy is a great self esteem and dream killer.
I like this too to bounce off of.It can be a fuel but it's best to introspect and figure out what the envy is rooted in as it's entirely contextual.

There is a level of maturity involved in not having everything and accepting the sacrifices you make for advantages in some field at the expense of time invested in another.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
I can only temporarily dismiss these thoughts. An example, driving around cottage country being envious of big cabins.My dad gave this advice years ago...

sounds like some consumerism societal ads are getting to you. a larger cottage comes with its own problems(more to maintain, higher taxes, requires more security, higher insurance). a larger cabin is only better in a very small scope of scenarios, in many it can be a detriment. It's funny, when you don't have money you think about how you'd spend it all. When you get rich you think about all the things you don't need and all the unnecessary expenses you can cut out.I can only temporarily dismiss these thoughts.

The feeling always returns like a low fire always burning.
To try and think 'those fancy cottages can't do anything for me....well. That's a new way of thinking for me. I can try it.
Cool. Agree that it's temporary and has to be used repeatedly when necessary.I can only temporarily dismiss these thoughts. An example, driving around cottage country being envious of big cabins.

I once researched what the largest chartered bank in the world was because I was envious of banks, lol, lol. Mid 90s it was a Japanese bank. Good example you used!Cool. Agree that it's temporary and has to be used repeatedly when necessary.
Envy is no doubt an emotional thing. But it IS worrying about something that we don't control and logically can't/won't benefit us.
Banks have a lot of money/assets. But I rarely hear somebody say, "I'm so envious of that bank next door lol." Their brain just knows not to focus on that because it makes no logical sense lol.
I am grateful to catch spikes and although I don't rejoice yet I can certainly learn to find joy in the mindfulness. I felt it earlier reading how valuable these replies were. Screenshotted them to read over and over. I don't know why I think the internet is going to disappear but I wanted to save all these good thoughts/ideassounds like some consumerism societal ads are getting to you. a larger cottage comes with its own problems(more to maintain, higher taxes, requires more security, higher insurance). a larger cabin is only better in a very small scope of scenarios, in many it can be a detriment.

Be grateful for having the mindfulness to catch these spikes in irrational emotion. Rejoice at every catch as it's a moment of insight.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Some of the stress and bullshytof course.
you just hit on something that made me realise it always appears while under stress.
Always.
Very good. That gives me something to bounce off of(like a diving board analogy)
It can fuel but what if you were going a different direction. Someone else stronger or more developed in a space that wasn't your priority ignites your envy now you focus on catching up in that direction and what was your priority falters. That's how envy cam be a issue vs focusing on your strengths.It can be a fuel but it's best to introspect and figure out what the envy is rooted in as it's entirely contextual.

There's a level of maturity involved in understanding you can't have everything. Accepting that advantages in some field comes at the expense of time invested in another is a very valuable insight. That said the earth is bountiful, you can learn and master whatever you want. You just don't have enough time to master everything![]()
