She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
This may sound outrageous to the less monogamous types but I actively train myself to only desire sex with my chick. I don't watch porn, I don't look at erotic images, I don't fantasize about other women, my only sexual outlet comes from my chick so it becomes a hell of a lot easier to stay interested in her.Yo'Mama said:
I don't see a problem with making getting better with women a priority. If it's something that's bothering you and you really want to get it handled then go ahead and do something about it.
well maybe I've been brain-washed the wrong way, it's because according to David Deida in the book titled "The way of the Superior Man", he states that your Purpose must come before your relationship, I assume he is also implying while you are single as well, so that's where i'm getting at, and yes I'm working with David Wygant, that's me taking action and doing something about it, it's just I want to make sure I don't enter into desperation territoryJoeMarron said:
