Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
That is the greatest compliment I've ever received on SS.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:could be made up for attention
Wait that's her? You are going through all this? For THAT???bigneil said:That is the greatest compliment I've ever received on SS.
But as Alex Jones would say: you can't make this stuff up, folks. I do realize the actual risks I'm taking, my going undercover to report on the nefarious inner workings of an actual foreign slvt in her natural habitat. They kill spies over there. But she practically does look like a Bond girl.

I suppose Bigneil's got a catch with the apartment.
Has CordonCordon admitted she is a woman yet?cordoncordon said:Wait that's her? You are going through all this? For THAT???
She is what....a 5? If that? I am seriously coming to the conclusion that most people in this world are complete crazy people. I wouldn't even go on a date with a girl like that, let alone move in with her.
BN? This proves to me that you have more than a few screws loose. I knew it after the first stripper episode, but this confirms it. Also, get a better taste in women. Your standards are way too low.
You are more delusional than even I thought if you think that girl is hot in any way, shape, or form.bigneil said:Has CordonCordon admitted she is a woman yet?
Who else would protest a man saving $125 per night by living with a (yes) hot girl. I doubt any man would say this girl is a 5 or lower. And what is "all this" I've put up with? Finding a new girl sleeping in my bed? Saving $1000 the first week?
PS - The stripper just texted to invite me over to her new house this weekend. We'll be celebrating 18 months of sex. Yeah, I must have gone mad.
She reminds me of a less attractive version of Lucille Ball. Not that LB was even attractive.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:That russian is a 4.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Once again Dr. Flush makes a wrong medical diagnosis.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:dont fvck the bpd cvnt![]()
"A Bond Girl" you say? She looks more like Mr. Bean to me :crackup:bigneil said:But she practically does look like a Bond girl.

well you shouldn't do that....when you don't know what it is....you don't know the signs!!PairPlusRoyalFlush said:I said it as a catchall because not everyone here knows of HPD...jerkoff.
yes it is...there are zero BPD signs with this woman....what would you call it then? it sure as hell ain't no BPDPairPlusRoyalFlush said:Her behavior is not clearly HPD.
you should read this thread again so you can see the attention seeking.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:I havent seen any attention seeking at all..

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
