She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
yes .. that counts big.Originally posted by Ice Cold
submissive personality
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Yea.. she has to have a job!Originally posted by check_mate_kid_uk
its the same as, how ever nice a car looks you would not buy it if it did not work!
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.

I know a girl like that. She likes me but the thing is I don't see her that way because of that. And that we have alot of history due to the fact that we know each other since HS and before so going with her would jus be like going with a best friend or somthing but she always suggest date and stuff in a kinda technical way. I tend to be attracted to the more feminine girly girl types. The type that like to play puppy dog, or who gets sensitive when somone says someone is more beautiful than they, who giggles alot, u know the more submissive thpe. I'm a kinda macho guy and i guess with that being I'm attracted to a really feminine woman.Originally posted by diplomatic_lies
A chick who is fearless. Not the wise-ass ones who pick fights with local Triad gangs, but the ones who are mentally tough. You know the type - they don't get all emotional about things.
However a lot of them tend to be butch....total turnoff. So rare are the chicks who are feminine, but tough enough to hold their own ground.
