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.

How will a man be able to show a woman that he is a good provider if he's on welfare because the robots are doing everything?I worry whether AI robots in the future will take most of our jobs away...as a result the whole populace will rely on the government on welfares and there will be social unrest due to the lack of productivity.
Lol...not to sound like a doomer....but that's where were headed.
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.
You shorten the workweek across the board, like how France does it via overtime laws, but you take it further.How will a man be able to show a woman that he is a good provider if he's on welfare because the robots are doing everything?
Sure...just like how robots were going to make all factory workers obsolete 50 years ago right?I worry whether AI robots in the future will take most of our jobs away...as a result the whole populace will rely on the government on welfares and there will be social unrest due to the lack of productivity.
