"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

"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'm sure a handful of those guys are innocent, just in the wrong place a the wrong time, but there's nothing "lucky" about me not being in jail.

I'm proud of who I am. And even if I were IN jail, I wouldn't be posting pics of myself trying to get a girl to write me. She's got millions of options:

"Hmm, should I go talk to this guy sitting at the bar? Or write that letter to the inmate who's getting parole'd in 2015?"

Do the math fellas.

When I mean 'lucky' i mean that we HAVE the power to change our circumstances. (Girls wise)

What about those guys? They're basically f*cked.

"Hmm, should I go talk to this guy sitting at the bar? Or write that letter to the inmate who's getting parole'd in 2015?"
Whats sad is that their ONLY option.

If and when they leave all their youth will be gone.

Just think about that when your lonely, those guys have it a million times worse.

(yeah ignore the fact that they are prob murders :D , be more empathetic guys, they have to live sad lives)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Empathy for a murderer who is paying the consequences for his actions?

Yes, he made a mistake when he chose to kill someone. It could have even been decades ago. He could feel complete remorse and be a different person. But he still made the choice to cross the line, knowing the risks of his actions, and he is paying the price.

The day I feel sorrow for a criminal getting what he deserves is the day I forfeit my own integrity. There is a reason why I am not in prison for murder... the same reason that they are: the moment that you violate someone else's rights (especially when it comes to taking their life), is the moment you renounce your own.
