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.

Considering the masculine nature of women today - hearing this is a GOOD thing, "IF you are asserting yourself as a man and treating them like a woman!!! However, if you are unbearable because you are a rude and a disrespectful person then they are correct in their assessment!!!Originally posted by gruby
..Yesterday 2 other girls tell me that i "have no respect for women." It's becoming a pattern and i don't know wheather it's good or not.
Actually, that's more than just disrespectful, it is a rude turn-off especially when you do that in their presence.Originally posted by gruby
I suppose i ramble too much about other pretty girls...
If that is the case, you are my new hero gruby!Originally posted by johnny_chase
well, girls do like to be looked in the eye every so often. Do you grab their ass instead of shaking their hand? Do you eat your breakfast off their tits? Do you rest your beer on the top of their head while they, errr, service you?
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.
What, he's not doing anything wrong? He's sparking that well-known feeling of JEALOUSY! Why else would they get pissed of?Originally posted by rgeere

This is fine, if you don't ever plan on trying to sleep with the girls to whom you're rambling.Originally posted by gruby

If it is sincere and they know it without you EMPHASIZING, then yes ...Originally posted by Skweints

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.

You have to give respect to receive respect

Life, probably. No one respects someone who is disrespectful. Fear, perhaps, but don't confuse that with genuine respect. And from the tone of your post, don't confuse respectfulness with supplication, ass-kissing and niceness.Originally posted by Ice Cold
