"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

the guys who play by the rules and respects the girls is the one who always loses. FACT
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

"play by the rules and in the end you will score with interest" is the biggest sh1t test ever done to humanity from those in command first even before than women.

"suffer without rebel and you will reach the kingdom of heaven"
"respect the law and in the end you will prosper"
"respect women and perseverate and in the end she will love you"

means:

"dont rebel and keep suffering and the priest will get heaven on earth"

"respect the law so the elitès will still get the lion's share"

"wait your turn, run society and make sure no left over is on state's bill"

The only rules worth to be respected are the ones you share, if something is damaging for you but you know its right respect it while if something doesnt make any sense you don't have to obey just because you're told.

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.

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.

I was referring more about religion "according to priests and churches" more than religion according to books (of which I have no knowledged).

Again I have no knowledge about those books but I wonder if the rebellions they supported were to set the citizens free or simply take down the oppressors to put a "priest" at his place, more like what happened in Iran.

Reminds me of liberals preeching to break the rules only when the current elites are conservative so they can take their place.

I remember when I was a teenager I was at church one day, and the priest was saying something about "being happy with yourself even if there is something you don't like because we are all equal." I was like "WTF?? If you don't like something, CHANGE IT!"
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

My current boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months now. He always respected me when I needed him to, but it's not like he never made a move on me at all.

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.

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.
One would think, but trust me on this, it's not a given with all of them.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Not that it's necessarily wrong or bad, but you gotta accept the consequences of dealing with such a specimen. That is, having to play games, dealing with chaos and unpredictability, partaking in the "war" for control, not being nice, focusing on emotional highs and lust, etc. It comes with the territory. A lot of those positive turn-on's also come with an array of heart-wrenching negatives.

A lot of people are simply expecting perfection, and it's not going to happen. Hot, in-demand, out-going, wild, loud, promiscuous girls ARE going to be shallow, dumb, unfaithful, crazy, etc. What you see is what you get.

Another "Woe is me , not being a douche-bag will not get you the girl.Life sucks" thread.

Yaay...'Cuz we all missed having those back.





There's so much negativity in some of you guys it's depressing even for me.



Playing by the rules and being respectful makes you lose ? You know why ? Because you're playing it like that towards her , instead of yourself. You're making yourself a doormat by trying to fill all her needs without having regard for your own. You deserve to lose because you disregard your own self.And if you can't respect yourself , no one else ever will.


But then,it's so much easier to post around forums b!tching about how unfair life is,right ?



Do yourself a favor and learn to calibrate your expectations and behavior appropriately in relativity to the person you're interested in. Like someone above said , some people are infinitely more shallow than others. If you're gonna go in believing that that mythical , pure and innocent love you desperately desire is gonna come from that type , you might as well go and uppercut a grizzly in the balls expecting him not to maul your ass to the ground. Chances of you walking away in once piece are pretty much the same.



Also , if you surround yourself with this constant negativity all the time , it's gonna suck you in so deep that even if you get lucky enough to indeed find your perfect girl , you'll most likely be way to fvcked up by then and will literally repel everyone around you. That's the only FACT you need to understand.
