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.
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.
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.
This is where I'm at, I think the older you get the less you need alcohol to 'loosen up' and relax. Also, I find that anything more than a drink or two numbs the whole experience...an experience that I want to savor and enjoy to the fullest.joekerr31 said:inhibits it for me. if im loaded i can get it up, but i feel about 5% of what i normally would.
im one of those guys that when i get drunk i get really relaxed and ultimately jsut wnt to sleep.
whereas for some guys when they get hammered they want to run through the street and vandalize things.![]()

I hate that feeling when you just meet a girl, and you've been doing well with her all night long, then at the end, you blow your load 5 minutes into the whole thing.
I love that phone call the next day.
Her: OMG, my stomach hurts
Me: You been throwing up or something? Hungover?
Her: No.. it hurts because of you!!!
Me: Me?? What the hell did I do?
Her: You know what you did... Well, what WE did. You left bruises all over my ass too
Me: My bad... I get a little carried away when I get excited sometimes... I'll try not to next time around
Her: Oh no... don't think I'm complaining. I enjoyed it all.
True story...
WE call it "Boozer's droop" or "Brewer's droop" down here.STR8UP said:A little hooch will loosen you up. A lot of hooch will fukk you up. Nobody wants whisky d!ck.

Frank you are not curious - you posted this question because you are thinking about lubricating HER to increase your chances of banging her..Frank2500 said:Out of curiosity folks, what do you guys think? Does drinking alcohol before sex improve or inhibit one's stamina/sexual performance?
