"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The meaning of life for men

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Absolutely agree with this. Imo, the "meaning of life" boils down to freedom and slavery. Today it's globalism and consumerism. The attack on marriage and the family unit, feminism, gutting of the public education system, cultural marxism, etc. Those with no roots, no tribe, no sense of identity will pose no resistance, because they stand for nothing. Check out "The Way of Men" by Jack Donovan. The dude is gay as a blade, but nails it. Sonny Arvados' site strengthbysonny is a pretty good site and touches alot on the bullchit going on today.

I like Jordan Peterson. He usually backs up what he says with research studies, and doesn't try to twist the data to fit his agenda.

Make as much money as you can and find somebody (or bodies) attractive enough to share it with. In my mind that's what life has always been about and always will be.

I'm convinced that every word and action stems from the human impulse to amass more money, sex, and power. It doesn't get much deeper than that in my opinion.
While I do think that it goes deeper than this, every man must FIRST come to grips with this cold, hard truth, at least as it relates to MOST people. At our most basic, with no divine intervention, this is all life is.

The difference is, without the presence of 'something' (we can define something later) that causes man to evolve/civilize/etc., humans revert back to near animals. Run in packs, alpha male is the biggest/strongest, etc. Primal living that's really not worth squat, except to enjoy food and mating.

There is a joy/peace that is missing in that. I happen to believe that comes from religion, and in my case, Christianity.

Other than, those that just want power over their circumstances and to live a normal, quiet life and those that want power over everyone's circumstances, that's pretty close.
 

"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.

I was just thinking this, this morning. I felt/feel as if the last 39 years of my life have been full of wrong decisions of going down the wrong path. Ultimately, I feel as if, for me at least, that the meaning of life is spreading love and hope. Making that change is easier said, than done I know.

For me the meaning of life is a spiritual one and has nothing to do with this life or planet at all.

It's up to you. Follow your path. For me, it's three things. Hanging with my daughter working on her improv/acting skills, helping people, and making bluegrass music. The rest is window dressing.

Not only humans, thats an impulse inherent in animals too.

Money = resources

I would agree with most of what he stated. Taking full responsibility and choosing what we want to be truly responsible for, is our ultimate goal as a man. And that true responsibility is usually the thing which will bear our greatest fruit.
However first, we have to locate what that thing Is which we want to build and be fully accountable to. And that true thing which we desire to do is somewhere in a spiritual place (for me) which opens a door to a higher calling within ourselves. Then from that thing which we make our ‘1 thing’, we’re able to provide and give; which will further enrich our lives naturally. And so the system becomes self generating. And when we can do that with ease, we naturally create high value towards others and know ourselves to be of high value, which for a man is our ultimate goal; to be high value in our own mind and truly feel that. It’s about following your mission and seeing it through. Whatever that may be. Fulfill yourself and the rest will surely follow, as you’ll be leading your life.

I believe once we find that thing which we truly and deeply wish to pursue, that will give rise and open doors to other areas of our life. And we will eventually end up with self-actualization.
Managing women, our diet, optimization, etc, won’t be as difficult as we will know what to do with those areas, naturally. As we will be able to discern what is fuel and what is not. The natural order becomes balanced.
However, first finding something which installs deep illumination in to our hearts; something worth fighting for until your death is step 1. And If one is looking for a woman before one knows what step 1 is, he will always be lost in his own way. And that’s where things go south. Happiness will be fleeting. Because the natural order is misaligned.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I think it's different for each man. My meaning comes from the hunt. Sadly, there is only one tangible thing to hunt in civilization nowadays, the hookup
