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.
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.
It's ok, I've already decided to ignore. It's just have never been treated like this before on an online forum, male dominated or otherwise. I just don't know why some of you all are so mean for no reason but to get a rise out of me. Oh well....AAAgent said:People will stop pestering you and making you feel uncomfortable if you stop reacting to it. The only reason people take pleasure in leaving you comments you don't like is to get your response which so far has been extremely long. Basically one person writes one line and they're hoping to generate a page long response that will annoy you. If you really want to learn from this site and my fellow male brethren then lurk some more and read until you figure how you can contribute without getting your buttons worked up.
There are a few female members that have good reputations because of their presentation. People think you're a troll because your presentation gives off the troll vibe which i agree with.
Why do you need to prove yourself to everyone here? If they don't believe your a girl then that's their deal. When you get all pissy about it and post 20 pages of responses then.....
That's when we laugh at you.
You do you, let everyone else do what they do and you should be fine but that is easier said than done.
Good luck and i hope you take this to heart.
Yes it is fake hair, but very nice fake hair in person actually. Oh and by the way, I love taking pictures of my face just not putting them on the internet. People are different in the real world.librito said:thats not even your hair,
because Im 120 percent sure that you are
wearing FAKE HAIR.
ANY WOMAN COULD HAVE THAT KIND OF HAIR
AS LONG AS THEY ARE WILLING TO SPEND THE
MONEY ON IT...
I haven known yet an atractive woman who doesnt like to take pictures of her face.....
We have a long history of resident females here being full of sh*t. We have a few remaining that are all right.dalynxx said:I just don't know why some of you all are so mean for no reason but to get a rise out of me. Oh well....
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.
There are several agreed upon philosophies here, dalynxx, one of them being that advice on being a DJ coming from a woman is generally flawed (If you want more details on why that is, sift through our DJ bible and previous threads). Like the majority, this is one tenant I agree with.dalynxx said:I will just go back to reading the posts on here and just keep quiet...I think it's easier.
Not at all, it was a comparison. Here's a pic of an old mop I have in my basement:dalynxx said:Really, you refer to my hair as a mop? Is that your version of ****y and funny?
It's quite amazing that you've assumed that I have a desire to attract you solely based on a silly comment I made on your picture. I give you my sincerest apology for leading you to assume I'm interested in you. I'm really not.Good luck with the ladies my friend. You will need it.
That Cinamon chick is a hot little tart. She's a friend of mine on facebook, and she is a freak. And amazing doesn't happen here much, but we are working on it.J. Darko said:I don't believe that there are girls on this forum. If there are any, I bet they are worthless because as an amazing woman you have better things to do than hang around this dump. And yeah, that same rule applies to me. I'm not amazing yet because I spend my time here to.
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 think the mop is more attractive.Desdinova said:

Probably made her wet. NO, I KNOW it made her W-E-T. She's being "mistreated" on a "male dominated" blah blah blah. Yeah, she got wet.dalynxx said:It's ok, I've already decided to ignore.

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.
