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.
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.
An even bigger pool of rudderless and disconnected latchkey kids and sh!tlib voting bloc. A sterling idea.Jaylan said:I dont think being a stay at home parent is wise for men or women. Maintain some autonomy, maintain your own income, stay in the workforce even if only part-time.
( . )( . ) said:Are we still letting chicks dress up and play doctor? Even after the whole less work, less hours, less productivity thing?
Anyway if I was a chick and some herb took my (chick) advice and fully embraced my sex role reversal proposal I'd bring two dudes home to double team me and make that weak Western statistic watch just out of principal. And I don't even have thousands of years of inbuilt hypergamic impulses like that poor b!tch.
I'm sure the barrage of "equalist" fairies will deny it but she will consciously/subconsciously end up resenting you and you will end up on the front page of cuck weekly. For memory I think Roissy has some data on "stay at home dads", and it wasn't encouraging.
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.

EPIC FAILFireballs said:My gf is a highly paid Doctor and asked me the other night if I would consider becoming a stay at home Dad. It caught me a bit off guard and I just said I would have to think about it/talk about it more. I earn good money too but obviously she earns more and she isn't the type to rub it in or anything immature like that. We are getting into the stage of ''what's mine is yours'' ie. joining accounts (initiated by her).
Would you do it? Have you done it?
There's enough women's lib bullshet over here at the moment without you adding to the nutless society to go off tiptoeing through the tulips.Fireballs said:My gf is a highly paid Doctor and asked me the other night if I would consider becoming a stay at home Dad.
