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.
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.
I think cost will prevent this from ever becoming a reality. Plus dumb people will always fvck.I should add, this may not be impossible for long. The future could involve reproduction without sex. One gender could be left in the dust I suppose.
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.
That's it more than anything. And you can bet anytime any of these hollywood heroes go for an interview, they are coached by their agents and business managers.Ryan Gosling's fan base is female. He is simply telling them what they want to hear, to increase his income.
Makes the women look pretty stupid, but makes him richer.
Good business move
Could you imagine the uproar if he had a boy and a girl. He then states the boy is better at blah blah than her and excels much faster at this and that? The public fan base outcry would be astronomical and call him a misogynist and yada yada. Would take a hit career wise. I think he's red pill, any dude that's a panty dropper like that has to be. Very smart business model to pander to his female fanbaseThat's it more than anything. And you can bet anytime any of these hollywood heroes go for an interview, they are coached by their agents and business managers.
Besides, any dad that has two girls will see the world a LOT differently that red pill MTGOW types.
I doubt it would ever happen. Estrogen and testosterone need each other. Both genders need each other. You can't say that one is superior to another. You'd come up to that stupid conclusion if you have a very linear, one-dimensional thinking. Men and women are different for sure, but being different does not mean one is less or more than the other. Without men, women will collapse on their own, and likewise, without women, we would also collapse on our own.I should add, this may not be impossible for long. The future could involve reproduction without sex. One gender could be left in the dust I suppose.
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.
