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.
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 feel bad. Mine technically would not have been shared either and thus I didn't even put it as one of the choices. Mine would have been:wishyo said:Nobody shared my opinion.. yet
Tictac is completely right here. There's nothing wrong with the survey per se, but it won't reveal what percentage of women cheat. It will reveal what percentage of guys on the forum get cheated on. Most guys on here will have dated numerous women, and some may even have been married more than once. A guy might have dated 20 women and maybe one might have cheated on him.Tictac said:How the Hell would you get a percentage of women that 'cheat' from this 'survey'?
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 was FOR SURE cheated on by a woman I married and thought was my wife but then I found out she was a bigamist and married to TWO other dudes in TWO other States so we had an annulment and thus were never lawfully married under Illinois law"
I choose the "While in a LTR I was FOR SURE cheated on" which was really accurate too. Sense we were not lawfully married I am not bound to ever call her my "ex wife". I hear through the grapevine that she still calls me her "ex husband" though. I always correct anyone who refers to her as my ex wife.
Thank you for being gay..wishyo said:"I am gay and don't date women." lol![]()
Posters that are in constant search of threads to fuel their confirmation bias. :yes:noobolgy said:What kind of retard would take the numbers at face value?
"most" is the key word here. And I'm not sure if I'd go that far.noobolgy said:You have to take the things you stated into account, I did, and I assume most others would also.
I agree. And it's a thread that could give the opportunity for the guys who haven't, or rarely, been cheated on to tell their side. Most of the time it's the guys that have been cheated on who are the ones speaking up, which isn't bad, but it's only one perspective.Its making for some good fun and discussion.
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.
