"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.

Hi everybody. A couple of years ago, I used to drink A LOT and I would get fùcking drunk every saturday night. Unluckily, after a bad experience, where I mixed together alcohol and marijuana and I ended up puking for 2 hours consecutively and passing out, I cannot touch vodka, rum & gin anymore. The strange thing is, I have no problem drinking wine or beer, I'm able to drink tons of them, but just the sight of Jack Daniell's is enough to make me sick. It's been 9 months from that day and I ain't able to drink that stuff yet.

What can I do?
 

"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.

obviously in your head, it's assosiated with a bad experience. Maybe you can re-assosiate it with a good experience.

every time before your about to nail a chick have a shot of vodka.......every time something good is about to happen have a shot of gin.....

might take a while (few years) but you'll get your habit back.


what i don't understand is why do you wana be drunk anyway.
 

"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.

why not just stop drinking like a retard.

maybe know some moderation and only get a little drunk instead of trashed out of your skull.

This is your bodies way of protecting you from being a douchebag.

I had a similar experience with vodka and a friend of mine had a similar experience with jager. It goes away with time (more than a year for me), but you really should take it as a learning experience. I agree with Julian: stop drinking like a retard :p

I got alcohol poisoning one night from drinking beer, Desperados (lager and tequila), whiskey, and port, and the only one of those I can no longer drink is whiskey. Funny how the mind works. That was over a year ago and I still can't touch it.

DOnt be an alchoholic, becouse thats terrible!!!! You should lay off the alchohol for at least a year!! Dont drink a lot at all, some people have drinking problems, when they start drinking they just cant stop.



And by the way: I was drinking gallons of vodka in upstate with my friends, later that day I was in a hospitall, my mom beat the shyt out of me, couse i drank so much i was in hospitall for 3 days throwing up!! I still cant drink vodka couse it reminds me of that day!! It was so ****ing hilaruious becouse right after drinking vodka we went fishing, and almsot drowned!! Lucky me, like a quater of my mind was still functioning!!
 

"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.

It's not abuse

This is not alcohol abuse. This is a drinking problem. Problem is - you can't drink. I hate it when that happens. :D

No seriously. You should be careful about drinking. Especially the hard stuff. In my twenties, a friend of mine was found next to his motel bed, dead. He drank himself to death.

I almost lost another friend. He woke up one morning p!ssing something to the effect of coffee. his kidneys shut down and spent a week in the hospital.

Check out the link in my sig!

I couldn't touch Southern Comfort for years and years because the smell and the association with the same smell of (the) puke was too much to bear. Then one day I grabbed the bottle off the bar, poured out a shot, and got over it.

Indeed, learn and practice moderation. Learn your limits and the indicators. When my teeth go numb, it's time to take it easy for a while. If I don't, I turn into a drinking machine (because my mouth goes numb) and start gulping instead of sipping - and it's all downhill from there. What can I say? I'm just a thirsty guy. I can finish a can of beer in 2 SWALLOWS. Not chugging, 2 swallows. I can finish a full martini (i prefer gin) in one swallow. It's a neat trick to show off, but, not a skill that's practical for anything besides trying to kill yourself.
