Now tell me that masculinity isn't under a coordinated attack...

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
The new deal was before world war 2 dumbass, and gave the working class some level of dignity and position for maybe the first time in our countrys history, as well as making huge steps against financial fraud and abuse that caused the depression. GI Bill also an enormously successful program.Poonani Maker said:Of course, a PROFESSOR. Professors wanna rule the world. The WWII Generation (The WEAKEST Generation, not the "greatest") came home from war, took the G.I. Bill, went to college, obeyed all professors with their silly little Ideas, implemented them (The New Deal, etc etc), and now we have what we have now today
You missed the point, I could've said LBJ's "Great Society." Common Sense is not so common. You obviously have none of it.jurry said:The new deal was before world war 2 dumbass, and gave the working class some level of dignity and position for maybe the first time in our countrys history, as well as making huge steps against financial fraud and abuse that caused the depression.

Might want to learn a bit before spouting off that "education is nothing" line.
Of course, a PROFESSOR. Professors wanna rule the world. The WWII Generation (The WEAKEST Generation, not the "greatest") came home from war, took the G.I. Bill, went to college, obeyed all professors with their silly little Ideas, implemented them (The New Deal, etc etc), and now we have what we have now today.
Professors are what ruined this country, and are destroying the world. They are in Dresses (Robes), just like the Priests from Egypt, The Middle East, Aztecs, Catholics, Bishops, Judges, all wearin silly little Dresses. They want an anthill society of complete stagnation so they can continue to get their paychecks.
No! Western Man wore pants! and shirts starting out at Mount Ararat (or the Black Sea) and westwardly Moving and exploring, conquering, building to where we are today. They want us to forget our history. They would NEVER (re-)publish authors from pre-1960s that don't fall in line with their political correct "History." They want to wipe out our memories of our history/ancestry. They control ALL of our universities, educational systems. You don't get your PhD unless you write what the academic journal "Guilds" want you to write. So you aren't THINKING really, just writing what they want you to write, so you can get published, so you can get TENURE (impossible to fired/get bennies for life). Tenure, in a good university, is VERY hard to get and PhDs are a dime a dozen, something like 60,000 a year. Education means NOTHING. Many things your parents told you were EVERYTHING are NOTHING.

An insect is smarter than a college professor. The difference between the EverReady Man and an insect is that if an EverReady Man hits a chair leg, it just keeps going and going and going…PeasantPlayer said:I agree with this, so sad to see people trying to hold their status quo in different sectors of education, science and politics
