"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.

"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.

Condolences mate that is very tough. Talk to people don't close up. Have a drink or two in their memory and remember what made them special.

For yourself as much as possible try and stick to your routine. Routine is good for men in tough times.

Spend your time mourning brother. Try to do it as sober as possible, feel the emotions and allow yourself to remember the good as much as possible.

I'm sorry for your loss. The only way the year will be bad is if you allow yourself to get down and out. I know, easy for me to say. But be strong, reach out for help. We're all here for you, you have family, friends, loved ones, be with them in this time. When you're ready start back to improving yourself and making your uncle and friend proud.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. That's pretty much how my 2017 was. Last year I lost my dad, my sister, a guy who I considered my 'second dad', a great co-worker, and a long-time friend.

I think everyone gets a 5hit storm at least once in their life. It fvcking sucks, but that's just how things go. Take care of yourself and keep moving forward.

Consider your uncle fortunate to have died of old age. Consider the car accident fate.

"Everything that you cannot control by applying your reason is ultimately out of your hands. It is fate. Fate happens. Treat it with indifference"

No it is not a sign, let's not start creating self fulfilling prophecies now.

Now is a moment to be careful of making this about you, about feeling sorry for yourself. Now is a time for ultimate self care, mental fortitude,
grieving with dignity and honor and self respect.
 

"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.

Sorry to hear it man. Don't take it as a metaphysical thing though. Sometimes bad happenings group together.
