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.
It's a perverse society. Tingles, cads and her own disposable income rule. Five odd decades of ceaseless social re-engineering has seen the allure and rewards (top tier puzzy and reverence from the masses) for the responsible civilization builders/innovators gone the way of the dodo. Personally I'm not complaining , I capitalized on it like every other C+ azzhole out there.Scormus said:Sounds perverse to me.
You're expecting a women to act logically.... haven't you learned?Scormus said:Sounds perverse to me.
It kind of undermines becoming the latter if the former is a lot less investment and gets more *****.
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.
Nah he's not stupid. But he has developed a system of game for unattractive guys...because he is one. Dude looks like he just crawled out of a gutter.Colossus said:Keep in mind Roosh's experience with women is largely limited to pickup. Plain and simple. He has developed great systems for meeting women, but they all revolve around 1) nightlife, and 2) cold approaches. He makes a lot of inductive judgments about women (many of which are true), but once again he has a limited frame of personal reference. The guy travels, works on ebooks and monetizing his blogs, and simply tries to lay higher and higher quality (read: hotter, nicer) women. He has no real LTR experience that I'm aware of, and no hobbies or other pursuits that take up more of his time than writing about and profiting from game.
He's not stupid. He's made a decent living out of his "Bang" books and now RoK. He bans anyone on his forum, twitter, or RoK who is outspoken against him (myself included, lol). I think his pickup advice is second to none, but I would take any other broader observations made by him with a grain of salt. He's a career PUA living in Poland.
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.
Don't know if I'd go that far, he's no Brad Pitt but he's probably got 85ish? percent of guys here covered. (no hommus)GS750 said:Nah he's not stupid. But he has developed a system of game for unattractive guys...because he is one. Dude looks like he just crawled out of a gutter.
Maybe poor choice of words. But he's got a lot of money from selling books so I'm sure that helps too. He's put the time in and probably makes a very good living off of it.( . )( . ) said:Don't know if I'd go that far, he's no Brad Pitt but he's probably got 85ish? percent of guys here covered.

In other words he's not strikingly ugly enough for grown men to be mimicking chickish behaviour by calling him "unattractive" in the first place in my opinion.
Secondly. Game is game is game. There's no differing schools magic the gathering style and 1 more effective for fugly dudes. It's game. Neg a 9 in this sea of supplicating manginas and she tingles regardless.
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.
I hope so. I've been watching the man closely for over a decade? and for the good he's done for his fellow man, the number of men's eyes he's opened, the burning hatred, abuse and threats he's received from Western orca's and their mangina lap dogs, the failed attempts of lamestream media beatups to making SPLC "hate" lists. Whatever he's made it's not enough.GS750 said:Maybe poor choice of words. But he's got a lot of money from selling books so I'm sure that helps too.

No doubt the guy has earned whatever he's got. It takes a lot of balls to give up a mainsteam career and go out and pave your own way like he did. I don't agree with everything he says but I cannot disagree with you on these points. The fact that he's on the SPLC radar is just asinine.( . )( . ) said:I hope so.

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
