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.
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.
31 years man. I'm willing to bet, ALL women go down that road they shouldn't eventually.Real_Deal said:Any woman being that stupid should get dumped and be walking out the door ten seconds after that crap comes out her mouth.
Yeah, those newagers banned me for outing a mod.azanon said:I smell something fishy here. Two folks with March/April 08' join dates saying never to smack your woman. You guys/gals from LS?
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 see you're from Memphis. I was born and raised in Memphis, the wrestling capital of the world. Sometimes you gotta lay a smackdown on your woman. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Is0oHPL-nisDa Realist said:Isn't acting out just on your emotions a female trait? If you need to smack a woman around like she's a dude, you don't deserve respect anyway.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
To be fair, his fear might be of homosexual behavior, not of certain individuals who practice the behavior.Da Realist said:Not a guy who runs when he sees gay folks....
What?! Are you saying that you would smack a child?Luthor Rex said:A long time ago I would have said "never smack a woman"...
Now that I understand how most women are actually children trapped inside of an adult's body, I'm not so sure.
Maybe a spanking on the butt like her daddy did.
edit: Actually, if I were ever in a relationship with a woman and I felt the need to smack her, I think I'd just end the relationship.
Papermoon said:I wouldn't consider wearing leather tights if he had recommended them, so why should I take any hint from him on anything else?
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.
Think about the Caveman, dudes..... how did caveman keep his chick(s) on check? hair pulling, a few smacks, etcParadox said:It seems like he doesn't just haul off when he feels like it. He says in the interview that she provokes him.Do some women desire and need this? Whatever the reason the women take actions to bring on this punishment. Could it be that they miss their fathers dicipline, need attention, want a man to take control of them....ect?31 years is a long time especially for a hollywood superstar. He has done over 60 movies.
