"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.

This question is rhetorical, but many people do not realize all the things they have and when they don't realize how important it is until they lose it (like electricity =P, or for real, life) Thanksgiving ended and what are you thankful for?

i'm thankful for all the challenges that lines itself up to test me in this world. it only gets harder as i become stronger.
 

"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.

GREAT THREAD...I was listening to an audio of "The Secret" today and it talks about how being greatful is the first step to getting what you want. I personally think gratitude is a highly underrated characteristic of a DJ, there is nothing AFC about sincere gratitude for what you have.

My car, my bank account, my comfy bed, my skin, my new black jacket, my chance to go to school, my neverending will to improve, my mother, my freedom, and my work ethic, the new Borat movie, my best friend, choices, gyms. etc, etc.

I am truely thankful and grateful for the free gift of eternal life the Lord Christ Jesus of Nazereth hath given me.

And the Gift of Faith to allow me to accept The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazereth as my personal saviour from my sins.

Thou Im a Sinner, deserving nothing, The Lord God hath given me infinite riches, bestowing mercy upon me, and allowing me to enjoy all of his creation, earth, moon, stars, and forests, and all his creatures, birds, dogs, squirrels, and care from a Loving Father, Mother, a nice house and car, and a job.

I'm thankful for having two loving parents. I've come real close to losing them and that made me realize just how important they are to me.

Great topic.

I'm thankful for my looks, my modesty and the gift of life :up:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I'm thankful to God for giving me the opportunity of living. I'm thankful to my parents for giving me birth. I'm thankful to Fate for giving me intelligence. I'm thankful to my Motherland for the sense of belonging I feel for it. I'm thankful to my friends for being sincere and making me feel worthy.

I'm thankful that:

1) I found this place and learned about masculinity, our feminized society, my sh1tty upbringing, the differences between men and women, and have been able to solve several of my character flaws at a relatively young age. Had I not found this place, I may have lived the rest of my life as a total chump.

2) The speed at which change can take place in this world when you will it to happen.

3) I was born into an era in time where we have access to information like never before.

4) There are people out there who are willing to take a significant amount of time out of their lives to share their ideas and provide resources to help you succeed. This applies to both people I've learned from on the web and people I've made connections with in real life.
 

"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.
