"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.

The only real buttress towards all these is focusing on you.

Working and adding on traits that makes you greater as time passes.

And then passing it on to other men as a form of mentorship.

Focusing on women and their "toxicity" does nothing to assist you towards being greater then before. It's a sure fire way of making a man sink further in a quagmire of his own making.
Focusing on their toxicity is victim think. Eject any albatross from your circle

"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.

My response to any Feminist is always, Don’t tell me how women should be treated, I have a mother and sister and I know exactly how they should be treated, they usually shutup after that.

Tell that to the victims of US and European foreign policy.

Murder is not exclusively a socialist endeavour. Look at the millions killed in Vietnam. Mostly in the defence of capitalism. The country was 90% or thereabouts behind Ho Chi Minh. The US backed a corrupt war lord in the south and stuck it’s nose in where it shouldn’t have been and killed millions of people, in the pursuit of the destruction of socialism. So, with respect, I think your views are the same views which legitimised and funded that war, and ironically were,
in that conflict, responsible for murder more than socialism was.

Not being a socialist, and generally being in opposition to socialism, it feels strange to be defending it. It is certainly number one, two and three in terms of murder. I don’t think you can equate it directly to murder though. A hell of a lot of people are killed in the defence of western values.
vietnam war killed millions? hey I agree vietnam was a dumb war who make US look even more dumb, but the damage done on water sources on vietnam really damned the country, but saying vietnam killed more then socialism..... venezuela is kinda there to tell you
 

"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.

Putting on the socialist hat:

“Yes, but it’s the unintentional consequences of capitalism”

Does socialism actually prescribe murder or is it an unintended consequence?

Socialists always say “aha, that’s not REAL socialism”

Perhaps we are saying “aha, it’s not REAL capitalism”

Just playing devils advocate. As far as I am concerned the system is largely irrelevant. Human greed always exists. It’s just a capitalist system has slightly better checks and balances to control it
since most socialism try to curb freedom and ignore human nature, in a utopian thinking, yes, the problem with socialism is if you think it in a cold logical way it do make sense its a moral way to help these in need, these sory souls who have nothing to eat and have nothing, but then you are ignoring they own responsability for that, why certain places are the way they are? why most countrys are at war? why would someone put effort in something when the reward would be the same as no effort?

people say greed is bad, but that is a way to motivate people, why someone would go after a painfull thing if not for his gain? capitalisma never sold the moral way, capitalism works better because it let you try to get a reward for your effort, socialism says you need to mind yourself obey the goverment and work, but then socialism makes thing go stale because no one will say something or inprove something, since he will not be rewarded

Wow...those two above ads, I feel for the guy with Down Syndrome. I hope he keeps the makeup to just shows and clubs he goes to/ I'd hate to see him get beat up over his choice to enjoy his life.

On the other ad, for Gillette...can you image me (a short guy- 5'6) and decent looking, getting praise as much as this oversize woman?
I just don't understand. If a man was that overweight, would he get praise from women? Nope.

As for my height, I got a surprising compliment from a lady in an Adult Club recently, she asked me "why are you here? You're too good looking to be here...as if strip clubs were for unattractive men. I told her that because I am "vertically challenged", it isn't easy to find a quality woman to accept me. And for most of 54 years at that. She seemed a bit surprised, then said yeah I guess maybe it might be a problem...

I thought many of the guys in the club were decent looking, actually. The question really surprised me. Wtf?

You may not be aware but you are subtly channeling the feminine imperative.

Women commit crimes on a more societal level than an individual level. But they are no less lawless or crimes against humanity.

Metoo movement?
Believe women movement?
Title 9?
Abortion?
Cuckoldry?
False accusations against men?
Socialism?
Special rights?
The main problem is men are called out and often held accountable for toxic behavior and women are not. Today society is like the mirror image of if we lived in a time when men could just rape women willy nilly and have little to no consequences. Their is no gender equality and it's immoral and unfair to afford women priveleges that are traditionally male priveleges.
