Back from the dead, but still relevant. Saw a photo from this weekend of one of my feminist friends out on the town on facebook. Her eyebrows are outta control. I'd hate men too if I subjected myself to that kind of ridicule :nono:Eph said:
"I just moved here from Florida."
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.
Now these feministic idiots want the right to not shave without being judged

"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.
I think it's more like, the media has shed light on a more attractive grooming method and it has caught on. Back in the day when they were all hairy, that was considered as good as it gets. It's all relative.sylvester the cat said:It's the media that has men convinced that hairless is beautiful. I am old enough to remember when porn stars used to have hairy, bushy snatches so hair must have been considered beautiful once.

Not really. In these mags there used to be a section called 'shaven ravers'. I remember at the time it looking weird and slightly wrong. Now I wouldn't have it any other way.Yewki said:I think it's more like, the media has shed light on a more attractive grooming method and it has caught on.

I say bring back the bush.
But shave everywhere else lol.

The bush can be forgiven if trimmed properly. Feminists generally are against shaving everything else as "upkeep" tho. There is nothing attractive about leg/armpit hair. They won't have a choice but to continue hating men until they decide to change.Mike32ct said:I say bring back the bush.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeah well people are resistant to change. Are you suggesting if magazines started promoting bushes again you'd revert back? I can gaurantee you I sure as hell wouldn't.

Yes I am. And you probably would if that was all the media were presenting.

sometimes the human race worries me ....
Your candor about the media brain washing you is admirable (not being sarcastic, it is). I on the other hand am more rebellious when it comes to media influence. If something is advertised as "cool" I tend to be very critical of it. I will intentionally dislike it or not do it out of defiance unless I really do like it. The fact that shaved is the popular thing and I like it is more of a coincidence than anything else.sylvester the cat said:Yes I am. And you probably would if that was all the media were presenting.
"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.
