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.
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.
I've noticed the same thing, but look at the bright side, it makes it easier to stand out and rise to the top.The other thing I have noticed is that MOST of the trades, doesn't seem to matter which, are all populated by fvck ups, losers, tards, sketchy drug addicts, alcoholics and ex-cons who can't show up for work or survive 10 minutes without a cigarette. Yet almost all of them will bow to a woman... wtf?
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.
Another ****ing reason to get the **** out of this ****hole. I was looking at some companies to cold email and stumbled up this one company when I was looking at their teamYep, considering leaving again.
Just don't act like a pvssy and you'll be fine. Learn to carry yourself in a way that doesn't make you look like prey.Its not all bad, everything seemed to work out in the end, I picked up a new apprenticeship in a related trade and a new job with an older kraut twice divorced. That other business was electrical and 5 guys doing tech work, the office of course was run by a bunch of chicks with attitude, they were all fat and opinionated. I can't believe women talk like that to TRADE guys and those guys bend over and take it... Just hope working with sh1t doesn't include women.
