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.
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.
you seem to be forgetting the first part where we say FORGET HER. none of this is for her, it's for YOU. your spirit is so crushed you can't think straight. it's not a game, you're just pretending you don't have any self respect and we're trying to drill it into your head that you are worth something and that you SHOULD have self respect, and that you'll never get ANY women worth having until you cultivate that self respect.I understand. Thanks for the reply’s bro. But I can’t help to feel like I’ll be doing all this as a ploy to try to win her back. Deep in my mind I’ll be hoping that all this NC and acting cold will hopefully get her to be attracted to me again. It’s a twisted mind game I’m having with myself
Is it possible to build your self respect when you keep taking actions that a disrespectful to yourself?you seem to be forgetting the first part where we say FORGET HER. none of this is for her, it's for YOU. your spirit is so crushed you can't think straight. it's not a game, you're just pretending you don't have any self respect and we're trying to drill it into your head that you are worth something and that you SHOULD have self respect, and that you'll never get ANY women worth having until you cultivate that self respect.
do you realize what's happening? we're telling you to focus on yourself and you can't even fathom it. you STILL think we're giving you some kind of plan to get her back. you're scared to death of the idea of life without her, THAT is the problem you need to fix.
where do you draw the line with a woman? when do you say "I'M DONE" ? you're acting like a junkie and she's your drug. you'd probably blow a guy in an alley just to touch her tits or something. the healthy thing is to go through withdrawal and move on. learn from your mistakes and cut your losses before you flush the rest of your life down the toilet.
codependence < independence < interdependence.
You're in the first toxic stage, now graduate to independence and learn to enjoy yourself, there are countless women that will treat you better. only after you master independence will you be ready for interdependence.
They're polar opposites in definition. You can't go up by going down.Is it possible to build your self respect when you keep taking actions that a disrespectful to yourself?
Great analogy. Once a mans self respect is great enough he won't tolerate bad positions or bad behavior.They're polar opposites in definition. You can't go up by going down.

He won't even flinch, it's a no brainer for him. He spends more energy pushing out a fart.Great analogy. Once a mans self respect is great enough he won't tolerate bad positions or bad behavior.
To expand on this, it's inevitable to make dips and go down. No ones perfect, everyone makes mistakes. As long you have the brains to self correct you'll learn from your mistakes and continue a zig zag pattern upwards.They're polar opposites in definition. You can't go up by going down.
But once a man has enough self respect he won't willingly be stupid.To expand on this, it's inevitable to make dips and go down. No ones perfect, everyone makes mistakes. As long you have the brains to self correct you'll learn from your mistakes and continue a zig zag pattern upwards.
Of course not willingly, but there's no shortage of things to learn and mistakes to be made. The most self respecting man won't make obvious mistakes but can still meet a girl that causes him to make one. Then it just comes down to owning the living shiit out of that mistake and everything that comes of it to teach yourself a lesson. Even that eventually becomes effortless.But once a man has enough self respect he won't willingly be stupid.
This statement sums up everything you need to do. Improve your career, improve your social life, improve your living conditions. Get some goals together and start taking steps towards achieving them. If you aren't going to do it for yourself, do it for your son. Teach your son what it means to be a man, so he doesn't become another poster here complaining that his blue pilled cuck of a father never taught him what masculinity was.@Headmaestro you need to own your emotions, your situation, be accountable, and take control of your life.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
