"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.

"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.

well he did get a lot of media attention coming back. theres a lot of preesure on her from media, family anf friends to stay with him, otherwise be labelled all sorts of nasty things...
im curious to see how they will end up 1 year from marriage.
its kind of like the avg joe winning the lottery saying he wont quit his day job.

"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.

That is sad. She doesn't look happy.
That poor guy.
I question if I could ever love someone enought to do what she is. Maybe staying married, but getting married?
He had some balls to not end it for himself. I always told myself there is no way I would ever come back disfigured like that.

beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. I see a lot of threads out here that say's " looks doesnt matter" to a chick and that's total crap because it does....to an extent. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

before you start getting all mushy on me just wait five years. we will see where things stand at that time.
is it sad? no. you join the marines to fight. you don't join the marines to kiss babies and shake hands. every marine wants to blow things up and kill people. just part of that lifestyle. with that comes the risk of injury or never coming home.
i feel sorry for all the little kids who get caught up in war zones. i don't care if it is iraq, the balkans, chechnya, or sudan. those little b****** are f****** before they can even make their own decisions about what to do with their lives.

Thanks for the link. It's like watching a slow train wreck.KillaPetehog said:http://archive.reduxpictures.com/Production/PhotoGroupView.aspx?pbid=4&msa=1&pgid=6415897
Here's some before and after pictures of him.
Honestly, that is just really sad. It's one of those things that just makes you wonder..
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
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.

She looks really puzzled/disgusted in the rest(the pic where he kisses her)...Shes gotta be doing this because of pressure.KillaPetehog said:http://archive.reduxpictures.com/Production/PhotoGroupView.aspx?pbid=4&msa=1&pgid=6415897

actually looking at this, that's just harsh on the woman - she isn't enjoying it and he looks like that thing from resident evil, he shouldn't have made her do it
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

Dude, I've heard of cases similar to this before.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Right. Otherwise she never would have married him.
She can't back out now or would seem incredibly "shallow" and uncaring. Besides, women have nothing to lose getting married, anyways. She can get a no fault divorce in 2 weeks and take half his worth. So, simply walking down the aisle proves NOTHING.
Come back in 2 years though, and then let's see how things are holding up...
But, I think the look on her face already says it all, though. It's not joy, it's a "what the fook am I doing, here, ZOMG help somebody save me!" look! If you know anything about BL, she is NEVER looking at him (but usually away from or into the distance), never smiling (except for a forced fake smile) and is shrinking back when he has to grab her to kiss her. I mean, he looks like he's at a wedding, she looks like she's at a funeral!!!
I think she's still a bit in shock and it hasn't quite sunk in yet...but when it finally does - she will be looking for an OUT. But if not, this dude was DAMNED LUCKY in love - if not life!

Just to start off, I can honestly say I was neutral when it came to the whole "looks matter"/"looks dont matter" topics...
But lets say that this guy(guy in the pics) were to go clubbing, or to a bar and tried to game chicks...do you think he'll succeed? Not to sound cruel, but Im pretty damn sure that average looking chicks and above would just stop him on his tracks just because of the way he looks...

"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.
