"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.

In some cultures it’s standard routine, others not. I come from my country’s standard firm handshake crowd, so it’s all foreign to me.…

A firm handshake is perfectly fine with me.. Don't feel the need to be putting my arms around another dude!

However i notice, the man hug thing and hugging in general between men and woman in the workplace is definitely on the rise.

I would concur with the 'grumpy cat'.

 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

A definite no.

A pat on the back or a handshake is fine.
I think Vladimir Putin, has some guts to react in the way he did.

Most world leaders, would PLAY BALL from fear of accusations of being homophobic.

I give zero fuks about what Ukraine thinks.. I'm giving Putin some credit for THIS particular video, regarding, MAN HUGS.

No need to dig up Ukraine, that subject matter is totally unrelated..no point in getting all touchy about things bruv.

I can relate to Putin, we share the same personality type. INTJ
 

"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.

Not really, takes no guts at all. It's common knowledge that Putin is very homophobic, his reaction shouldn't come as a shock to anyone.

I reckon me and wifehunter, would react the same way.

I would defo AVOID man hugs, and extend my arm out for a hand shake instead.

Maybe we are homophobic

I hug family members guys or women. I usually do a handshake for men who aren't family, but if a guy initiates a hug I'll go with the hug and not sweat it. Girls get hugs but I'm careful at the workplace and leave it to the women to choose which she wants.

Handshakes in work/business, hugs for best friend, women and my therapist, daps for the boys
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

He's from the Orthodox church. Their priests can marry. Catholic priests can't, thus many of them turn to boys/homodom.

For business I'd pretty much always go handshake, maybe handshake with a pat on the arm or shoulder if it's less formal. The hug in this context was a bit bizarre.

On the other hand, nothing wrong with hugging a friend who's close to you, male or female. I don't hug male friends often but I see nothing wrong with it. Usually side-hug rather than front on, though.

I think the people who get all squeamish about hugging another man are usually the ones most likely to be repressing the fact they're gay, ha...

I'm confident that vaginas are my thing so it doesn't make me feel awkward. As long as you don't have a raging hard on there's absolutely nothing "gay" with giving a mate a casual hug/back pat, especially if they're depressed about something or feeling a bit s**t.

I think in appropriate context, hugs can communicate a friendly camaraderie that just chatting or shaking hands can't.

In a romantic context, they're also an excellent way to build early physical rapport with a woman and show confidence. But those hugs feel very different to the quick friend-hugs you'd share with a bro.

Hugs, crying, excessive emotions etc r women's domain, plenty of women around for that. There's no need for us men to enter that domain, we hv our own domain to maintain.

If some of u r into bromance that's fine too but it ain't for me nor would I encourage feminine traits.
