I was going to comment but you said this much better than I could. Goes well beyond any 2021 issues.EyeBRolling, if you cannot accept the unfairness of life, you will never have success at all.
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.

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.
Thanks for the advice but I’ll never eat shvt that is handed to me. If I get unfairly targetted, I’m going to speak on it. I do not support a meritocracy that doesn’t operate as one.Real men accept that life isn't fair and adjust their actions accordingly. Women and children blame external factors that the world is not fair. In this case, EyeBRolling is saying that the world isn't fair that he gets stopped by police. However, instead of dealing with it like Pandora does, he is crying just like any black activist does.
We teach people to respect us by what we are willing to accept. Hell will freeze over before I “accept” such blatant disrespect.EyeBRolling, if you cannot accept the unfairness of life, you will never have success at all.
You should speak out, if there is blatant disrespect, as anyone should.Thanks for the advice but I’ll never eat shvt that is handed to me. If I get unfairly targetted, I’m going to speak on it. I do not support a meritocracy that doesn’t operate as one.

That is a strawman. You suggested that black people need to just “accept” that police will fvck with us. As a law abiding American citizen, I reject that.You should speak out, if there is blatant disrespect, as anyone should.
But if there isn't, then the only one that will be hurt by your anger is you, as @HaleyBaron said. And especially if you go around actively LOOKING for disrespect.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Yes, just like we accept that all women won't fvck us. Or accept that we won't all get the best job. Or accept your neighbor has a hot wife and hot car and you don't. There is always things you have to accept. That's what being a man means. Not a black man, not a white man, not a purple man. Just a man. You are also correlating submission with acceptance. We're not telling you to submit to the cops or any situation that presents itself that you are unhappy about. We're saying you should accept it cause you will always run into things you cannot control. As a man, you are meant to navigate it regardless.That is a strawman. You suggested that black people need to just “accept” that police will fvck with us. As a law abiding American citizen, I reject that.
