the guys who play by the rules and respects the girls is the one who always loses. FACT
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near 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.
A common theme in both the Old Testament and the New Testament is rebellion. In fact most of the men of God rebelled against society, religious leaders, rulers, and at times against God.Who Dares Win said:"suffer without rebel and you will reach the kingdom of heaven"
I was referring more about religion "according to priests and churches" more than religion according to books (of which I have no knowledged).ArcBound said:A common theme in both the Old Testament and the New Testament is rebellion.

I do agree with your other points though.
Society is like one big prisoner's dilemma. If everyone follows the rules, theoretically society will be a better place. But even if a few people don't, they benefit largely and screw over the ones that do follow the rules.
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.
Not true! I'm attracted to guys who respect girls and play by the rules. The problem is when they don't "play" at all.lamobatsman said:the guys who play by the rules and respects the girls is the one who always loses. FACT
One would think, but trust me on this, it's not a given with all of them.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:You can only beta out if you dumpster dive in looks, and thats doesnt necessarily mean you "lose" IMO. If you can get it up for some uglier girls with better personalities that are more loyal and less attention-whorish/psychopathic, good for you.
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.
Word. But whether they like to admit it, guys like the hot girls, skanks, crazies, drama queens, losers, fake *****es, etc. They're more wild, out-going, easy, sexy, etc. I don't think a lot of guys genuinely want a smart, kind, sophisticated, mature woman with sufficient self-esteem and respect.. The dumb, shallow girls are more wild and exciting - even insofar as presenting a challenge, keeping their emotions on high, and all those attraction triggers. Not to mention, they give off strong vibes of being hot and horny.oscarxp25 said:It does suck to have everything you are taught about respect be thrown back in your face. Most women are crazy and don't know what the hell they want. These are the girls you have to play games with and such.
There are girls who are down to Earth and will give you the time a day if you try. Women like being respected...girls like being treated like crap and all the games.
