"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.

Were you surprised that the Blue Jays won last night?

I'm not a huge baseball fan but I did watch Game 7 last night, what a nail biter! And congrats to the Dodgers, both teams played great.

I'm curious what y'alls favorite play/hit is generally. Obviously a home run is exciting especially when bases are loaded but more exciting than that (imo) is a clean line drive down the center with three men on base.

Watching the outfield/infield players scrambling as the guys on base all come home, that's exciting.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won that game and the series for the Dodgers, truly talented player, his parents must be so proud.

Apparently it was one of the best series ever, but since I live in Toronto, hopefully one day I’ll get to appreciate it lol
 

"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.

Cannot believe the Jays found a way to blow the game two games in a row

He picks up the trash in the dugout after the game. The Japanese teach young people to respect the playing field. It's part of the martial arts honor system, respect the dojo. There's a spiritual significance to it.

If you had bet a dollar on the Dodgers to win the world series, and that bet was placed before the first game of the entire season had been played, that dollar would now be worth....$1.20. That's how heavily favored they have been. So it was a small miracle that the series was so close.

They should redo the series in case it was big fluke lol

Awful way to end the series on a GIDP everyone and their grandma saw coming.
 

"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.

I haven't followed baseball in over 30 years, but I did watch some of this World Series including all of Game 7, even though I'm not a fan of either team. That was a great World Series and a wild Game 7. A memorable one for sure.

I would like to have a Brooklyn Dodgers cap though, I think those are cool. Not because I like the Dodgers or even Brooklyn, I just think they're a cool piece of retro. Also, Ben Grimm wears one in the new Fantastic Four movie.
