"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.
This Dad is giving his son the best lesson ever. NEVER wear skinny jeans

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Shaming your own kid and putting the video up on FB. A$$hole father just got a new definition.

I'm with Moroder on this one. What kind of a dad would humiliate his son in front of a camera and then put it of facebook? That's some low TNB sh!t right there...Moroder said:

What that father wants and what the kid wants to do are 2 different things. My father didn't want me smoking and drinking. Do you think that stopped me from not doing it? People are independent enough to do what want not what their parents believe they should do.Last of the Alphas said:
"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.

It's one thing to ridicule him in private. But publicly humiliating your son on the Internet? What purpose does that serve?Last of the Alphas said:

It's as a punishment. The kid is a f@ggot if he wears those jeans. Not saying it needs to be 40 sizes too big, but not tight. That is gay, and it doesn't even feel comfortable.
Everyone has their own opinions though so hey, whatever.
(The Constitution was a bad example though. This nation is a democracy of hypocracy. The people who wrote it said "All men are created equal" while they are whipping their slaves and providing them with poor conditions.)

That is cruel punishment. Especially in this day & age where videos go viral worldwide in hours.
Its poor parenting anyway you slice it.
There are better ways to teach your child something.
Then they wonder why these kids keep getting cyber bullied, and killing themsves.

Wow at times have changed. I still remember the time I told my Dad I wasn't going to take a bath at about that same age... and that's the last thing I remember for awhile. He was right, I was wrong.
Now it's some "abusive" human rights violation to give a son some crap for two minutes...while he laughs... and put it on facebook. Thank goodness I don't have kids or I would almost surely be in jail right now in gynoworld. What delicate little special snowflakes we have created.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

Cruel parenting? This is more like "tough love" to me. Kids misbehave mainly because their parents don't step up to put them in their place.
Without proper parenting techniques, kids will become raging narcissists incapable of functioning in society.
