No this is not a troll.
Yes there is a right answer
and it isn't hard to guess either.

"She's Out of Your League"
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.
Why am I so awesome?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

No other guesses? I don't wanna have to reveal it after one response.

Is it because you're half as awesome as me?

Because your you?
Really, that's a matter of perspective.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Because you're the prize, and you're assuming value

I'm very sure you came back from an amazing encounter with a chick and feeling on top of the world. We're here rooting for you, though it isn't necessary.

This. This is the right answer. I don't even need a reason to be awesome/great/amazing/whatever. I just am simply because I'm me. I'm awesome just cuz.noobolgy said:
And this right here, this is the way everyone should feel. The mentality we all should have. Confidence, happiness, success, luck, etc. --- all of those string off of how you feel. If someone else just so happens to be the greatest right along side of you, then you make yourself the double greatest. And be happy for your friend who is also the greatest too or you will spend time trying to subconsciously bring him/her down, which restricts your awesomeness abilities and your greatness.( . )( . ) said:
And this is partially why I am the way I am. The way I look at it, it's like this:Mike32ct said:
Do you like being happy? Then be happy. You don't need a reason for it. Just be it. Do you like being awesome? Then be awesome. Who cares what others think of you. They're just jealous of your awesomeness. People will try and bring you down on your way to becoming the greatest. Because they don't know how to or will not even simply try to become the greatest. I am the greatest (like Muhammad Ali always said). Not the best. But, I am the greatest because I am the best that I can be. That is the way to be the greatest. Not to just be good, or great at what you do (whatever it really is that you do), I mean you can even suck at whatever it is really. But if it is the best you can do/be, then you are the greatest.

Anyway, why start this thread in the first place you might ask since you all already know this?
Well, I've been feeling extra awesome lately and thought that maybe I could give some of it to you guys since you're all too awesome to not give more awesomeness too (if that makes any sense haha)

"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 thread reminds me of a bi-polar flat mate I once had. When he was up the whole world had to know about it and when he was down the whole world was down with him.
It is not for nothing that wise people advocate the middle path.

But then tell me, oh wise one, what must I do when I am always up? And am constantly on the rise as well. What then? Do I simply not advise others as to how to feel the same way I do?sylvester the cat said:
I feel that it is my duty that I should. Not tell everyone about how I feel, but tell them why I feel the way I do, so that they too can become like me.

A different flat-mate told me the secret to his 'success' (he was a part-time chef with a drinking problem). He said he thought of himself as Jose Mourinho did aka The Special One. I asked him what happened when he happened upon another person who also thought of himself as The Special One? He didn't give me an answer.ImTheDoubleGreatest! said:
That flat was not big enough for two Special Ones. He moved out first.

I'm not exactly a druggy and I don't drink either
so that's the difference between us. I don't rely on alcohol to make me happy. I'm just happy just cuz 
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.
once you really accept yourself, then you will accept others for just who they are, even if they seem to you like they need what you have ie happiness. Example always trumps forcing advice, as people tend to reject it.
We dont try and change people. We acknowledge our similarities and rejoice in our differences and accept where each of us is at. People create their own happiness. Even When we tell them how to get there. There are a billion people in front of you and behind you on the happiness scale.
I'm really happy that you are happy.

That may be true but who cares what they think anyway. Like my brother always says "They're just jealous" :rock:zinc4 said:

"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.
