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.
Large states should bully small states. California’s economy as about 100 times larger than Kentucky. In New Jersey we pay more Federal taxes relative to what we receive than any state in the country. Stop mooching off us.
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.
What does a “pure democracy” have to do with this conversation?
I'm Los Angeles born and raised....
....so rare that the last two Republican Presidents each lost the popular vote and won the electoral college.
Quote my two prior posts and present your arguments to what i wrote....
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 want minority rule, I get it. You want the few to govern the many. You’re anti-democratic.
Read my two prior posts, the EC doesnt guarantee minority rule, it merely gives small states a fighting chance against large states. 91% of US Presidents have won both the popular vite and the electoral vote... Only 5 times have a president won the EC while losing the popular vote...
I'm glad the Founding Fathers didnt share your view....
Population gap is widening. 2 of the last 4 Presidents have lost the popular vote and won the EC. Small states shouldn’t have a “fighting chance.”
Well.. I don’t have a thing for owning other human beings.
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.
But you do seem to believe in mob rule tyranny because you stated you dont believe small states deserve a fighting chance at having their voices heard...
Democracy is better than the alternative - minority rule.
How are we a minority rule when 91% of the time the electoral vote aligns with the popular vote?
It hasn’t for two of the last 4 winners. Losing by 3 million votes but winning by EC is minority rule.
But look at the historical trend, 91% of the time the EV aligns with the PV.... More often the US is a majority rule...
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.
The historical trend is divergent. That’s why 2 of the last 4 Presidents have lost the popular vote, most recently by an even larger margin.
Then i hope that the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact never works out....fortunately Nevada's Governor vetoed letting NV join in 2018 because he knew it would be one step closer to the tyranny of 51%.... That's one less state we have to worry about trying to circumvent the EC....
It's not about "minority rule" it's about "minority equality."
It circumvents the will of the majority.
Minority “equality” is counter majoritarian. Small states have augmented power and large states are weakened. Wyoming does not have equal economic, cultural, or demographic power as California and has nearly 100 times less people. why should it get equal say?
