"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.
Owen Wilson attempted suicide [Merged Threads]
- Thread starter Ricky
- Start date
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Didn't he do this (slit his wrists) after seeing his ex with another guy?

Owen Wilson allegedly attempted to commit suicide over his split from Kate Hudson.
The Wedding Crashers star - who is currently recovering in hospital after he reportedly slashed his wrists and took a pill overdose - was said to be distraught when he saw pictures of his ex-girlfriend with her new man, Dax Shepherd.
Owen and Kate - who has a three-year-old son, Ryder, from her marriage to rocker Chris Robinson - split in June, after constantly arguing about Owen's wild behaviour.
Kate began dating Employee of the Month star Shepherd in July and sources claim she is smitten with him.

Damn, that bitch is like school in the summertime... no class! 
Making out in the produce section is just low.
Making out in the produce section is just low.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

On topic, I'm glad we have a peanut gallery of clinical psychologists here to tell us that the conditions that lead to suicidality are AFC and pathetic.

You know it's illegal to commit suicide? :crackup:
Sorry...just some law humour.
Anyhow...people who commit suicide are the lowest of the low. Sh!t, in my old HS people were dropping like fvcking flies. The year before my freshman year, some kid commited suicide, my freshman year some senior commited suicide because he got bad grades and in my senior year some chick in my class offed herself because "her life was so hard". Pathetic fvckers all of them.
That last chick almost fvcked it up though. She OD on malaria pills and washed it all down with a bottle of vodka. Thing is, she wasn't smart enought to choose a method that was painless. So it took her like an hour in great pain before going tits up. And the best part, you ask? Well, after taking the pills she regretted doing it, so she wrote a note saying that she really didn't mean to commit suicide. HAHAHAAH stupid b!tch.
The gene pool needs cleaning, and I'm glad that there are people like this who are more than willing enough to clean it.

Thats a huge generalisation. There's plenty of fantasticly happy rich people and miserable poor people. Put it this way, I'd rather be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.mahon83050 said:
"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.
owen wilson suicide attempt
[mods: please leave this in the mature forum - its about a mature actor.]
you guys hear about owen wilson's suicide attempt? the guy is only 38, hugely successful, pretty famous, by all accounts a great guy to boot (lots of friends, well respected by everyone, etc.) - has everything going for him and yet wanted to check out.
let this be a lesson - money, success, women, etc. - none of it is worth much if you don't have the right attitude towards life.

100 years ago the poor blokes had to shag the sheep. at least today you can watch hot chics shove baseball bats up their *sses - who said evolution had stalled?but seriously, it just goes to show how much life depends on your attitude. sure, the fates screw a lot of people, but even people with everything still fall into the abyss.
the greatest journey a man can take in life is to conquor his own fears - fears of loneliness, of rejection, of failure, of the past, etc. - you either spend your life conquoring your fears, being haunted by them, or running form them.
"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.
Saw in the other thread about cutting his wrists after seeing his ex with somebody else. You'd think a guy with his degree of temperament would be able to control himself better.
I have no idea what's going through his head, but you raise an important point again... sometimes we make things seem more important than we really are... whatever it was for him. All we really need is food, sex, sleep, a friend or two, and we're happy. It aint rocket science.

f*ck me - i really hope this sh*t wasn't about a chic.
see the problem with making women the 'point' of life is that when they screw you over you start thinking 'theres no point' to life.
NEVER EVER make one thing - much less a woman - be yoru reason for living.
life itself is the reason for living - buy the ticket take the ride as hunter thompson would say (who ironically shot himself in the head - but at least it wasnt over a woman).

There as obviusly a lot more invloved, and a lot more issues than just this chick...
Look at society - everything on the news is about local disasters, terrorists, violence, rape, gangs, etc. plus the fact that everyone has to work their arses off just to make a living, while the gov't rapes us, along with the medical companies and eveyone else.
There are more and more cases of depression and mental instability in the US because the services to help those people are no longer affordable - mainly due to Reagan and his BS administration in the 80's.
In Canada it would cost me next to nothing for a CAT scan or a simple medical check. Here in teh US costs me $15,000 for CAT SCAN ALONE!!!
How society treats us and what it puts into our heads affects us more than we know...so it is never just about personal issues, ex GF's etc.
a bit off topic, but 40% of all bankruptcies in the US due to medical bills...how depressing is that!
Depression was not even diagnosed until the 1950's believe it or not!

while i agree with this, lets not forget most of us have the ability to type www.amazon.com and find thousands of books written by extremely intelligent professionals in various fields that offer alternative perspectives on life. we have greater access to 'functional living resources' than ever before. sosuave sometimes being one of those resources.Tantric said:
yes theres a mcdonald's on every corner, but that doesn't mean i have to eat that sh*t. i can drive a little further a get subway.
while the temptations are greater than ever before, so too are the alternatives.
as for health care and bankruptcy etc. - i live in canada so its not an issue for me
the state of extremes and dysfunctional cultural elements are definitely present in greater concentration in the US than in Canada.
but that being said, the existential angst associated with being alive is present everywhere in the world. as this thread points out - owen wilson was probably very rich. had health care, women, cars, houses, etc. - he likely had it all. and yet it wasn't enough.
being 'happy' is NOT a default state in this world. its an illusion to think it is. life is hard, unfair, unfortunate, disappointing, etc. more than its not. learning how to be happy with life requires a little work and education - but the answers are out there for those who go in search.

This is why so many males need to work on being Men first, getting their lives together, and then enjoy women as they come along.
If a good woman comes along,you still need to keep doing what you're doing.
If she leaves, all you have lost is her, not YOU as well in the process.
We need to reevaluate our opinion and perspective of a HEALTHY Loving, Romantic Relationship.
And it cannot be based on throwing everything to the wind, and throwing ourSELVES away in the porocess.
That is not love.
That is you looking to find meaning to your life.
Basing everything you kow, feel, and love on a woman will never, ever end up good, true, and lasting.
Women are OUR Supporters. They are NOT supposed to be OUR WORLD...they are NOT supposed to be OUR SELVES.To lose your identity and life over a woman is to be avoided at all costs.
You are lost.
How can you expect to be free?
How can you expect to be happy?
That is why I don't care so much about techniquees, and why I like Pook's writings so much, because deep down this is the seed/root we need to plant,
We need to concentrate on our development...our masculinity...our SELVES.
That is where you strength will lie. Your happiness. Your vision. Your clarity. Your peace.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
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.
