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.
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.
Some, for sure!!!
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.
Well this played out well, was fun reading all of the old comments. Congrats to all you guys who stayed disciplined and kept the course. I think we are going to be rewarded very well and this is just the beginning. I strongly believe 2021 is going to absolutely melt faces. Wish you all luck.
If things play out how I think they will this next 6-12 months that will be me
Good call, don't let your ego get in the way of your finances.
I met a lot of genuinely stupid people who made a lot of money in various financial markets, usually through dumb luck. They then declared themselves geniuses and usually lost everything.
Thanks, I have enjoyed my past 20yrs though achieving financial success in a lot of arenas. Enjoy being bitter and judging others success as luck. That attitude will serve you well.

No, I am judging you because you took an old quote out of context to bump this thread just to be a douche bag, as if I have been holding onto a btc short position ever since, desperately praying for it to come back in my favor...you know, like the way you trade. You were all idiots to hold onto btc, even if it did come back. Hold and pray is moronic, and you will eventually lose all your money with that technique.
I didn't take anything out of context, you're an arrogant moron who was running your mouth all over this thread about something you obviously had no understanding of. I'm not a day trader, I own a business and invest in assets I believe in that follow long term macro themes. Very few people can successfully time markets in the short term, and its idiotic to think most should
they aint trading they are investing
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

This time Im not that happy, its getting parabolic...hope the institution supporing it will keep doing it.
There's no fomo like institutional fomo!
Yeah, wouldn't mind us consolidating and finding support, might also give some room for alts to run too. Not too concerned for the long view no matter what happens here.
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.
