Hmm.. Maybe you have privileges over there that I don't. My "edit options" doesn't have the enable private messaging feature.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I was responding directly to the suggestion that the 'pro-man' posters can't get a girlfriend. How is that an 'infraction'? How many of the female posts are on-topic and relate directly to the original post only? How did Touche not break the rules with her inflammatory name-calling?Dear Towelie,

Primary directive: Post does not relate directly to first post in thread
It is not necessary to give forum members your itinerary and is also very much off topic.

The threads are full of the females threatening to call the mods for 'offensive' posts. Did norajane receive a warning for calling me a misogynist? Like all the other posts demeaning the men who argued with them as having small cocks, mommy issues, pro-violence against women, etc? I doubt it.Dear Towelie,

Report posts which you feel are offensive BUT DON'T QUOTE THEM AND RESPOND TO THEM. This makes you part of the offensive, is inflammatory and extends the chaos. REPORT OFFENSIVE POSTS AND LET MODERATORS HANDLE THE MATTER. Thank you!
Best wishes,

Just look at the new threads lately.
And then, just as suddenly, perhaps when the very busy mods notice that there's one IP addy for all 17 new identities, the posters disappear.
Thinly veiled misogynist rants in the guise of men frustrated while seeking help and advice? I know I have my opinion, but I'm one of those ball-busting *****es, so what do I know?I have reported your for calling me a misogynist.
What's really funny is this is NOT the case at all this time!And then, just as suddenly, perhaps when the very busy mods notice that there's one IP addy for all 17 new identities, the posters disappear.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Haha, EXACTLY.My Name is Nobody said:So is this place the equivilant of a female sosuave? Maybe I should check it out.
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.
That beotch Trialbyfire called my man a peon and told him to get on his knees. I flagged her response as inappropriate, and was banned because my reply to her was "off topic." I guess technically I am not banned per se, but my posts are now sent to moderation before they will be allowed to be posted.You have been banned due to infractions.

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.
