"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.

At the end of the day, this thread is a perfect storm of cliche's.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

"same ____time, same____channel"


I hate when people use the word, "synergy" also.


I f*cking hate that word! Some yuppie bullsh!t word to replace an already adequate word: cooperation.

This has got to be the worst word in our language. I absolutely loathe anyone who prefaces every other word with: "like".

I fvcking hate it with a passion.
Yeah, my teacher in high school forbid us from using that word. He actually would take a letter grade off of papers if he saw it in there.

He would fail people for using it as well. I remember my midterm was a 69 for that class as well.

BFFs for life!!!

This annoys me a great deal. The people who profess this BS are precisely the ones that go around spewing lies about their supposed "BF".

I hate labels like that. You are just setting yourself up for a fall!
I NEVER use that label seriously. I only use that word with people that dislikes me like my girlfriends roommate. She wanted to date me, lost out, and now wishes that I wouldn't come over. Sucks to be her *jabs Ken785 in the eye with stick*

"You are bitter!", "You're a uh.. you're a misogynist!". Those irk me every time I hear them said to anyone.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I cringe at the phrase, "He/She is good people". Unless they're schizo, they are a good person.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

When you come to work on monday and you aren't feeling really well and someone says: " Sounds like someone has a case of the monday's"

I believe you should get your ass kicked for saying something like that.
Fukken A man. :up:

Remember kids. . .

This thread is about cliches and what not. If you'll recall, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, so don't expect the vast majority of these expressions to go anywhere anytime soon. We first have to take care of this, that, and the other thing with these cliches before we can move on to over-used euphemisms, colloquialisms, double entendres, and asinine acronyms that somehow survived this cliche day of infamy.

There's no 'I' in 'team', so let's not put the cart before the horse and try to get too far outside the box. For all intents and purposes, I think we can git 'er done quickly if we just do it.

How'bout "Great post"?
There are few threads that the "Great post" chorus misses. :)

Addon: "Do it NOW!" / "NOW is the moment!" / "<bla> NOW <bla>" -> greatly overused

"Come on, you can do it!"

"You're Almost there!"

"No offence, but..."

"Is it just me or is it x?"

"0o0o0o!! You got burned/rinsed/gutted!"

"You wanna fight?!" or "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!"

"00O00O X is getting pissed off now!"

"At least you tried....".

"Its ok, you did your best".

I FUKIN' HATE THOSE!

"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.
