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.
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.
Plenty of women, I'd say and the consensus on SS is more women than men lack a moral compass, but women don't commit crimes per se, they don't need to. There could be several factors for men commiting more crimes but the top would be frustration and desperation.To be honest, I'm really sick of you labeling guys "bitter" on here. There's more bitter and mean women around than men. And they're bitter for no reason but their own fault. Many of them make as much or more money as men and have their pick of guys. They just pick the wrong ones maybe.iqqi said:Do you really think that most pointless crimes are vents of sexual frustration??
I think most pointless crimes are committed by people with little to no moral compass. These people maybe alienate themselves with their lack of thought or care for others.

"which is why i laugh when guys get so high and mighty on here about how men are the best and women suck."
Well I think its that way because this is basically a site for men only that women can partake in if they find out it exists but anyway this place is a site for men to vent and improve themselves without having to worry about some chick picking apart what they say.
Basically when a guy is here on this site its very much like he's with his brothers.
Still a good wake up call of a post to such guys that get too lost in the venting phase here though.
That is utter bullsh!t, and just an excuse for you to not blame yourself for picking women without morals.ketostix said:Plenty of women, I'd say and the consensus on SS is more women than men lack a moral compass
Its just flat out stupid to think someone is without morals just because of their gender. Half the assumptions I see thrown out here are plain dumb, and really just excuses for men not to seek better. Then again you have the retards who would seem to settle for any relationship, period, like the desperate sounding bunch over in the "does every pretty girl have a boyfriend." thread. I believe it was said that the only criteria to get into a relationship was 1. not be ugly 2. some other dumb crap.Mad Manic said:And your reasoning for it being utter BS is?

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.
Don't you know that was done through God's intentions? :crackup:iqqi said:Its just flat out stupid to think someone is without morals just because of their gender.
ElChoclo said:Bad judgment, bad behaviour, but then again, in your country you had the woman in her 40s who pretended to be a young guy and made friends with a young girl on the internet (with whom she was actually acquainted since they were neighbours). She leads the girl on and then dumps her suggesting that she (the young girl) doesn't deserve to live.
Young girl then kills herself. Don't know if that woman is doing any time, but it was a lot worse, and in general I think that women do worse things than men.
This is why i love some of your postsiqqi said:Its just flat out stupid to think someone is without morals just because of their gender.

No wonder some of you have such a low opinion of women. Look at your standards! Some of you have none! And those of you that do... well you obviously aren't factoring in morals.
Did your mom have a moral compass?
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.
Yeah well I still totally disagree with iqqi. Whether a guy has quality standards or not says nothing about how many quality women there are or how moral women are. The fact is regardless of what they say most men are happy as long as their getting sex with a nonugly girl.jonwon said:This is why i love some of your posts
Nice.
