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.

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.

Very interesting - you seem to equate masculinity with having sex. No wonder there are so many AFCs out there - that's why the 40 year old virgin is such a popular movie.synergy1 said:So let me get this strait, a 27 year old virgin is telling us about how the good moral character always beats the bad boy? I really, really hope that people aren't taking this guy too seriously. Some folks talk about the quality of advice degrading on this forum, and I believe this is a prime example. If you are a moral character like you speak of, where are all the girls knocking at your door? do you even have a girlfriend right now?
I assumed you had the ability to logically deduce what I'm trying to say. Since you clearly are not - I will have to spell it out to you. Give to Caesar's what is Caesar's = give to the government what is the government's - which means you do not try to misappropriate the assets (even for the sake of your child).synergy1 said:Jesus already gave us the answer from the bible. Whose face is it on the coins you use? Caesar? Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's. Class dismissed.
Typical sidestepping so as not to actually answer the question. Talk about being a man, than not even manning up and answering a simple question? As I said on another thread, come back when you have more credibility than the characters from Sesame Street.
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.
No, it's not naive and you're simply delusional for thinking otherwise. You want to rationalize some bad behavior of yours by saying "oh I have a code that is so superior to you mere mortals". I've seen it plenty before buddy, our prisons are filled with "innocent" men. Most felons cannot face facts of their own bad behavior -- in this way they are very womanly.guru1000 said:This is a naive statement.

I've had health insurance from various companies all my life, in easy times and in times where I was in the hospital for a while, and NEVER has any "severe" illness not be covered by them. I'm not surprised a criminal would resort to this kind of reasoning -- this way you can push your crypto-socialist agenda. Let's be real here, what is socialism if it is not the rule of criminals.guru1000 said:Your child suffers from a severe illness that is not covered by health insurance. Your only option is to pay out of pocket. At this time, the government has subpoenaed your business requesting for all REPORTED assets to be held in escrow until they are able to finish their investigation. Do you disclose the monies that are needed for your son's treatment?
Now isn't this the epitome of societal programming. This ignorance is the same shaming tactic used to recruit millions of men to put their lives on the line to fight another country's war; the matrix. Just a duck following the flock to their own demise.Luthor Rex said:No, it's not naive and you're simply delusional for thinking otherwise.

Again, who blames the world? Am I creating threads saying "Women are _______" or " The government is corrupt".YOU are the source or your problems. YOU need to stop blaming the world and blame the real source of your problems: YOU.
YOU my friend are the problem in that you lack the mental capacity to think outside the box. Stick with the 9-5 job mentality; without employees where would the self-employed be.
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.
I find it interesting that such a Biblical view is so widely held on a "player's forum" such as this. There are passages in the Bible that talk of the man being the head of the family, and the women should submit to his authority, etc. (can't remember the exact verses but I know they're in there).Danger said:Either it fails and you become an "absolute a$$hole", or the women will submit as is proper for their natural role and start to accept your PERMANENT leadership.
I don't think it was so much someone selling the idea as it was that the guy was earning the money. The money was going right into his pocket and that gave him the power. Probably some guys abused that power, and that made the women raising the children feel powerless, and it fed on from there.Danger said:Somwhere along the line, someone successfully sold the line that nurturing children and maintaining harmony in the home is lesser work. The success of that line has demolished the family structure of the US and much of the Western World.

Ive not been around here that long. In that time, I've learned some important things from you.
But on this, we disagree. I was not shamed into joining the military. I was not drafted, though the draft existed when I enlisted. I did it to serve. And I dd it for eight years (1969-1977). Did I do things I wish I had not, yes. Did I do things that served the interests of others, yes. Did I do things to oil interests and illegal drug trade, yes. But they were sideshow to why I did what I did.
You need to get that our military is now an all volunteer force. Recruited? Absolutely! But mostly from those who desire to serve. They are not John Kerry's 'losers' or the liberal wing's 'can't do anything else' proletariat. They are men and women that desire to serve - others, their country and a chance at a better world. But you can't know this unless you do it.
There is a line in 'Blackhawk Down' (the book, I never saw the movie) where a Delta Force operator (Hoot) says "when my friends ask me why I did it - what are you, some kind of war junkie? I will tell them it was no more than for the man next to me. That's all it is". And that is the simple truth.
"People sleep peacably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf". George Orwell
If you don't know the truth of this, you're not living in the real world.

I could not agree more with this. Thanks for clearing the air.guru1000 said:It is not my intention to devalue any man's sacrifice especially if that sacrifice is rooted in his own convictions. After all, if we can't follow through in our core convictions, we live in hypocrisy.
My point being laws are created to control the masses more efficiently and because we as individuals do not live in a black and white society, laws are often manipulated to not so often serve the greater good.
