OK now ur just trolling
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
Whatever.backbreaker said:OK now ur just trolling
Law and practice are law and practice, I neither believe or do not believe in them. They are there for their own reasons, and I won't assume I know any better to change it or not.Danger said:Chris,
So by your stance on how men and women should act and be treated, I take it you do not believe in the current modern gender neutral world being dictated by law and practice?
“If you haven’t the strength to impose your own terms upon life, then you must accept the terms it offers you.” - T.S. EliotDanger said:So you would have your expectations of men, but do not care for law, practice or society's expectations of men.
Life does not give two $hits about your expectations, although feminists would applaud your efforts here at denigrating men.
While I agree with your statements about gender roles, they do not exist in a vacuum. Your statements are just another example of men only holding men to standards and not women, society or Governments. In short, your viewpoint is part of the problem with the west today.
It depends on how you define 'whiney and crying'. If a man incessantly whines and actually cries over trivial things, wah wah sniffle sniffle, then of course thats unattractive. I find it demoralizing to be around anybody with this trait, man or woman. But men are only human. We're going to have some bad days and hardships. A man should be able to confide in a friend or his girlfriend or wife about it.ChrisFloyd said:Whatever.
Just want to say:
-People are different in values and standards. Looking down on others only harms you, especially when they can have the same success as you do without having to tick all your requirement boxes.
-Whiny and crying men are unacceptable in any situation, and there is nothing wrong or unjust when women spit on that.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
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.

Also, I didn't read anything Backbreaker wrote that described his friend as being a whiney little b!tch. Seems like this thread got a little twisted with the assumption he was whining and not just turning to a friend so he could talk to someone. When she used the word burden, that spoke more about her true nature, that she's selfish. This woman is so selfish that she thinks it's ok to dump her problems on someone and not be considered a burden and she can't see the hypocrisy of her calling someone else a burden for not being Mr AlwaysPositive.
Your friend learned a hard lesson, or at least I hope he learned one.backbreaker said:the guy is in fact not a whiny little *****. he lost his job and there is a good chance he's gonna get evicted. he was going through some stuff.
this is a girl that still lives with her parents telling the dude to man up. the **** disgusts me.
Gentlemen take sometimes off from work and attend the courthouse and pick court rooms randomly. It is worse than any third world country that you can think of! I really think they should make is obligatory for men who are getting married to attend x hours of family court.sharkbeat said:There are times even strong men fall too. All these strong/weak discussion talk as if you are born in either side and can't cross boundaries. There are people like movie stars, who have achieved their fame and glory, fall out of earth's existence just like that. Nobody gives a ****. Until they die then it becomes news, then people pouring their 'love', 'hearts', and 'thoughts'. Gee, how many **** did MJ have to deal with when he was alive? After he died, people suddenly making tributes to him? Why didn't they do it before, make him feel a bit more appreciated when he was alive?
Weak men can become strong, likewise, strong men can become weak. You will swing back and forth in your life. Guaranteed.
This is one reason why marriage is such a bad idea for men. Once you fall, your wife out of her nature will despise you. She will of course console you, 'help' you get back up, but her nature has made you unattractive to her. You stay in the weak zone for far too long, she will divorce you.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
