Just curious...
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.

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.
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.

Francisco d'Anconia,
I know that question isn't dedicated to me, but I'll tell you why I thought it was funny.
If I saw the clip randomly without Mr. Delicious' introduction, I wouldn't have found it funny, but the funny part is how people here always talk about "not taking any sh;t from women" and neg hitting them to put them down (I'm not a fan of neg hitting - btw, but that doesn't matter), and Mr. Delicious comes along and says "ok, this is how true dj's neg hit", it is so extream, that it's obvious that he's being funny and sarcastic.

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
True that. Most of the domestic violence I've seen occurs in both rich and poor neighborhoods with the rich (wealthier) having a tendency to be more verbal in their abuse. While in some of the poor, ghetto neighborhoods I've been through it's usually physical.Supposedly chilled out and in control Don Juan's completely over the top reactions in this thread is the funny part.
As a quick reality check, you are getting bothered by a post by a stranger on an internet message board.
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.
I have to disagree with a big loud "what the fùck are you talking about".Originally posted by Jariel
When I read this post, I took it ironically, since there are a number of DJ students and mentors promoting resentment of women, sexual harrassment, mental abuse and the extreme jerk mentality, if not physical abuse.
No, they were intended to be disturbing and act as an eye-opener.Originally posted by Engetsu
Man those videos are just disturbing... I think they're meant to be funny in a dark humor kind of way, as well as to act as an eye-opener...
There have been several posts from guys wanting to know how to inflict revenge on women, wannabe pimps who want to use and control women, guys who promote things like slapping a stranger's ass and the "make the ho say no" attitude (aka sexual harrassment) and guys who flip out because a girl turned them down/refused to have sex with them.Originally posted by Engetsu

You're just being a symp (woman sympathizer) and a Captain-Save-a-Ho. Didn't you get the memo that women are our oppenents and our enemy?Originally posted by Jariel

I'm yet to read a post encouraging beating women, but there are a fair number of extreme chauvinists on these boards.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
