STFU, and just eat the damned pizza. What, are you going to throw it away to spite the messenger?KarmaSutra said:It's not that the pizza isn't great, it's that the DELIVERY sucks.
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.

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Yes sir, I just might toss it if it leaves a sh1tty taste in my mouth afterwards.iqqi said:STFU, and just eat the damned pizza. What, are you going to throw it away to spite the messenger?![]()
Ah no iqqi.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery. That's kind of... womanly?
I thought women were supposed to be the emotional ones.
It is a general belief in society that verbal eloquence correlates to mental prowess, and vice versa.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery. That's kind of... womanly?

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.
actually, the way he presented his views was kind of womanly - ie. over emotional and insulting. his post left no room for discussion, if you didn't agree with him you basically had no choice but ot engage in a battle of words because that is the frame he set.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery.

"It's not that you can't think straight without good grammar, it's that the same mental skill set leads to both clear thinking and clear speaking. Any person who consistently thinks clearly and correctly will just naturally speak, write, sketch, diagram, and code clearly and correctly, without making a separate effort to do so. Poorly written memos and instructions carry this subtext: I am omnipotent and my time and energy is golden; you are slime and your time and energy is of no account; therefore I will minimize the effort I put into making my utterances, leaving them only as complete and meaningful as my whim dictates; you will compensate by spending as much of your life and substance as required to make sense of these pearls; and woe betide you if you fail."
Ah yes. The school of thought that taking lumps gratefully and never complaining makes you a man.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery. That's kind of... womanly?![]()
How much of this forum revolves around the discussion of various methods though? Very little. There is the odd basic question, but there is less discussion regarding "game" (Man I hate that ****) and more discussion regarding psycology, culture, certain situations and life improvement. I have been lurking here for about 4 years now, posting here and there. It just offers more then something like the Mystery Method forums. I have no interest in becoming a PUA extrodanaire. Its a lifestyle Im not keen on being a little more conservative.Luveno said:Drum&Bass does make a good point in this post.
Nobody can disagree that although picking up women is the major focus of this website, having interests and desires outside of women is very important for one to live a well-balanced, fulfilling lifestyle.
...not to mention that women are not the major focus of a true Don Juan. The DJ Bible emphasizes this point numerous times.
Although, Drum&Bass, you should perhaps start to write posts in a more organized, conventional manner. Much of what you say gets scoffed at instantly just because of the poor grammar and numerous colloquialisms you use.
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.
