"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.

We live in a society where men are castrated by on-demand contraception, abortion, and divorce, by low wages that deny men the ability to be the sole provider, and by feminist puzzification. We deserve the presidents we get:

Bill Clinton: scandalous cigar-putter dress-stainer, cheated on shrew wife who thought she deserved her husband's job

George W. Bush: oversaw credit and mortgage bubble burst, threw millions of families out of their homes, destroyed marriages like none other

Barack Obama: Islamophile doing everything he can to install rabid Islamic fundamentalist governments throughout the Middle East

Mitt Romney: As do Muslims, he also believes in cheating on your wives to try to find your fourth...well, can't admit to it in public
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

We don't have enough people with the b*lls and brains to vote out the two-party nonsense.

Romney isn't President.... why did you include him in this and what about Carter? He did some shady things as well.

ron paul is our last hope. if obama or romney are our 2 choices...the middle class will be a thing of the past.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

I don't blame Bush as much as I blame the Democrats who held the majority when the sh!t started to hit the fan.

FDR was one of the worst presidents ever. So was LBJ. Carter held the title for the longest time, now Obama is the heavyweight champion of sh!tty presidents. There are FAR more people behind the curtain then Obama that go unnoticed that I hate just as bad if not more.

Clinton was the biggest job destroyer ever. Between NAFTA and the trade deals with China, he was the worst. But it took time. We didn't feel the effects until years AFTER he was out of office.

Plus he signed the repeal of the Glass Steagal Act which later contributed to the financial collapse.

Ross Perot could have saved the US. But elections are just like pickup, the smoothest, tallest, best looking guy wins, not necessarily the one with the most substance. So we got Slick Willy.

“He who controls the media controls the minds of the public” –Noam Chomsky

This is why democracy fails. It's not about who is the most fit to run the country, who is the most qualified or even who is the most popular. It's about whose party has the most money for advertising, bribing the media or who quite literally owns media outlets.

I honestly believe a guy like Ron Paul could change the world for the better and revolutionize politics, but he and people like him will never stand a chance because they don't have the money and don't have any control over the media. When he was running for president, news channels were desperately trying to sabotage him.

The UK is a lot less money-based, but a lot more blatant. You can vote for whoever you want, but only one of two parties can actually be voted into power.

Democracy really isn't all it's made out to be.

Bill sealed up the women vote lock stock and barrel, both elections. I never understood what they saw in him. to me he looked goofy, not good looking. but then it's women we're talking about, take a look around at most of the couples you see....not the best looking guys on their arms.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

If you think pointing out something is arguing then you have something wrong with your head.

He had charm. I also have a goofy looking face but due to my game I get my fair share of the ladies. Clinton is the same way.

The "plug in the bathtub" was pulled in 1913.

Only recently have we started to hear the sucking sound... Takes awhile to suck the wealth out of the strongest economy and nation in history.

The two party system we have is trash and things will never get better as long as that is in place.

Ron Paul has no chance, because he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut over his unpopular ideas. I don't even necessarily disagree with his ideology, but a skill of being a politician is to be able to understand how your words will be perceived before you say them.

For example, Paul has said that old people with no health insurance should be turned away by hospitals to die, because he doesn't believe in government programs. More recently, he said that none of the midwest tornado victims deserve FEMA aid. I live in Illinois, near a small town that got flattened by a tornado, and that Paul quote was the top story of our local newspaper. Everyone I know locally hates the guy now.

It makes me wonder, is he really that stupid? Or is he trying not to win?

And along those lines, Santorum announced today that if he were elected, he would declare a "War on Pornography." Great :rolleyes:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

This thread illustrates why you don't argue with idiots. They bring you down to their level where they know how to fight.

Mitt Romney has never been President, what are you smoking Down_Low? I'm not even going to dignify the rest of your post.

But I do have a question, when was the last time you helped out the mentally ill? Because in the other thread you were giving me sh*t for advocating letting them be in peace, but you were so sure that we have a duty to help the mentally ill. So I'll ask you again to talk about your charitable contributions in detail.

Since when does a moderator flame a thread?

As I'll post in the other thread, when you throw your weight around by suspending my account, you "threw the first punch" and lost the argument. Apologize for that, and then maybe, if I feel like it, I might get around to responding to your posts -- after I discuss items of interest with less-belligerent members.

Nobody suspended your account. The server was down for everyone. I don't remove people from discussion unless fellow members ask me to look into it.

For people like you, I ask questions and watch as you trip up in your own lies and delusions. Your strategy at avoiding my questions (to provide evidence for your bullcrap) isn't that great to be honest. I've seen better.

If you have a complaint with a member (yes even Mods), report the particular post and we'll look into it, and take action if and when necessary.

No ones account was suspended AFAIK, aside from spammers, the server was being refurbished for a few days.
 

"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.
