"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.

Whats the Most heart wrenching pics you ever seen

"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.

If you want GUT WRETCHING try looking for Two Girls, One Cup- that's currently the most disgusting, gnarliest video on the internet.

Even shock-proof Joe Rogan had a hard time watching it!

WARNING- Not for the faint-hearted.

On the beach in Surfer´s, Australia.. Little japanese guy, about 5 or 6 y.o., standing beside his parents, both all bloated and shYt from water, both drowned trying to pull him out of the 3 m high waves. Paramedics worked at them for qute some time, but...
Picture from hell.
 

"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.

I did some searching on that Skel and it seems it probably is true.

What I found said a young photographer taking pictures regarding the famine in Sudan won a Pulitzer prize or something for it and then a few months later he became despondent and committed suicide.

Just goes to show if you aren't mentally hardened and gaze into the abyss straight away it will consume you.

The guy in my guess was simply too young and probably had not had enough life experience and familiarity with real life horrors to be properly desensitized to this stuff for his own mental survival.

Anyway as for the most heart wrenching pictures I've ever seen well one is real and one is from a movie.

1. JFK autopsy photos.

2. The famous scene from Platoon where Elias gets gunned down by the VC and has his arms up in the air looking to be saved.

i think when they say heart wrenching they don't mean disgusting.

in the early part of the war, when the terrorists' first video of cutting someones head off... i watched that. 'heart' wrenching and pretty gut wrenching also.

dont know if this is true but from what I have heard the person who photographed this commited suicide a few months after this photo hit the front page of, I think it was national geographic or something like that.

The kid in the photo was walking to a town a few miles away for food but never made it.
33 year old Kevin Carter was his name. Tragic story.

"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.

Most of these pictures here are really heart wrenching, but that 9/11 picture with the guy jumping out of the WTC made me laugh. Maybe because I have a morbid humour. Thanks I needed that.
