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.
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.
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.

Anything that contains water (including vegetables and fruit) counts. But sodas are junk to be avoided (esp coke - which - despite being a dring - has diurectic characteristic).
The rule is to drink often, and more then less. While I'd say that 2 gals/day is a bit excessive, 1-1.5 is usually enough.
However - I know people who could go through as much as 4-5 gallons during hot days (one guy is a pro cyclist, other a runner).
However - if during the day you feel thirsty, then you drank - TOO LITTLE - no matter how much was it.

isn't 4-5 gallons like 12-15 liters?!?!?!

Dunno much about the runner, but in the case of a cyclist it was a 125mile MTB marathon in about 35 celsius.
Usually he does a 100-150 km/day in the summer, and really hot days he drinks like mad.
