Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
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.
This is the worst part, she takes gold-digging to a new level. She wants her grad degree paid for but doesn't even want to do it the traditional gold digger way-actually be a GF/wife in exchange. No, she thinks one night with her is sufficient. And why wouldn't she when you have guys offering up to 3.7 million for it. She probably is a bad lover anyway and a cold fish, probably a lesbian.She said: "I get some men who are obviously looking for a girlfriend but I try and make it clear that this is a one-night-only offer.
Well if she was a poor white woman selling herself on the street she would be in the county jail right now too. Black guys should be the last guys to talk about anyone discriminating against black women when most all of them I know date white females.backbreaker said:on a somewhat same scale this is what is wrong with america. it's profiling and discrimination. meaning, if she was a poor black woman selling herself on the street, she would be in the couny jail right now.
becuase she's half ass cute and has a college degree, and posted on line and had a bunch of rich guys 'bid" on her, it's the talk of the town and it's a good story.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It's cool. i was just saying anyone who's poor can face discriminatory treatment, so i agree with you basically. But it does bring up the question of how she could sell her virginity in the first place. I guess she is brokering in Nevada or something?backbreaker said:I was not trying to play on race. I could have said a woman instead of a black woman and the point would have been just the same. that was not my intent.
btw speakeasy, for 1 billion dollars I'd do a guy on CNN in primetime.
It'd probably be the highest rated show ever.backbreaker said:btw speakeasy, for 1 billion dollars I'd do a guy on CNN in primetime.
Women's movement has just taken a few steps back, thanks to her. The message for girls everywhere is: No need to go out to the real world and fight for jobs, all you need is to find a rich sucker and spread your legs.The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself.
Damn, where are the parents in all this?! :crackup: I am sure mama and papa are really proud that both kids end up sucking d1ck for a living. I love the part that says that her sister only worked for "3 weeks" as if to say that just because she did it for such a short period of time, that it means she isn't tainted. What the hell are they getting degree for anyway?! the whole purpose of getting a degree is that you won't end up selling your body on the streets out of desperation!!Miss Dylan, from San Diego, California, USA, said she was persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23 paid for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks.
Any guy that pays to crack open her clam for 3 million dollars is a "Wierdo" or incredibly rich that he has so much money that he doesn't know what to do with it.She said she had had a lot of attention from a wide range of men, including "weirdos". , "those who get really graphically sexual about what they want to do to me"

Wow,my first post ever in Anything Else. Feels different in here. Oh,yeah,back to the topic. Speakeasy,when I read this part of your reply,I almost threw up. Is sex with a virgin worth 3.7 million? Of course not. I don't understand this. I thought sex for money was illegal.speakeasy said:How many guys would bend over and grab their ankles for another man if he was going to pay you a billion dollars and nobody would find out? I'd bet it would be more than a few.
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.
