Cheating doesnt hurt cheater the most. It hurts more to be cheaten if You dint cheat than to cheat. Trust me.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
That was all me a few months ago.Originally posted by TheTrimReaper
It's passive aggressive. And unfortunately that's where women are heading as a whole these days. You ask them if there is anyone else and they say 'no'....When there definitely is. They end the relationship with you at 6 and are in his arms by 7.
Which really SUCKS for those of us who take their commitments seriously.People don't think about the benefits of commitment as much anymore. People are treated as expendable more and more often.
I am thinking the same thing. My problem is that I actually have a conscience and would feel like sh!t the first time I really screw someone over. I'm just not like that, maybe I need to be a little more ruthless.I'm not going to let that keep me from enjoying my life though. I can't change how people are behaving. I'll just join them.
I think pretty much everyone I know is in the same boat. The only ones who think otherwise are the ignorant youngsters who have yet to be burned.Don't think that my experience is the exception. I really don't think it is. And if you think that your girl is different and that she would never cheat on you, then you are one dumb SOB. I'll let you in on a secret. Every woman is like this. If you don't think so, then prove I'm wrong.
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.

I agree.Originally posted by SAYNO
No, choose the harder route, Choose to be honest sincere and noble, those are they traits of a real man!
Sayno'
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.
you're so evil and cold dude. i like you.Originally posted by MightyMate
Bollox. Real man can cheat and not feel guilty.

Wow I can't believe you actually typed out all of those lines, you must be bored as hell! I agree with MightyMate a man can cheat and feel nothing at all. I also don't agree that all cheating is the same. For instance, I was away on a business trip, I stopped in the hotel bar and there was a nice looking woman at the bar. We have a few drinks, share a few laughs and engage in an exciting stimulating conversation. It's getting late and I have an early morning flight. The woman is a slightly tipsy and so am I. She is totally diggin my Dj charm and I am totally digging the dumper on this chick who looks like Vida Guerra's twin sister (from the back). As she excuses herself to go into the empty hotel bathroom, feeling ****y and confident, I follow her into the stall. I then proceed to bend her over the toilet and pound that ass from Da' back! I flush the rubber (which I bought in a vending machine), pull up my pants, walk out of the bathroom, pay for the drinks (in cash) and go to bed so I can catch my 8 am flight.darkstarrr said:bump
Legendary thread minus the 3 previous posts.
If you were to graph the effects of cheating on a line chart, the cheater would suffer the most consequences over time - nice and steady like an ocean wave's wave. They always end up paying somehow.But the cheatee, as MightyMate describes suffers a huge spike. Although that pain and suffering is so intense, it does subside if you take the right steps to become a better person and to meet more suitable partners.
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.

Please explain how this hurts me, how this screws up my life and how this makes me need to tell a bunch of lies. I personally can walk away from the situation and outside of having a good memory never think about her again. Had I met the same woman every Wednesday night for 7 years, while my significant other thinks I'm at bible study, I can understand your case for lies and hurting yourself etc. A random fling IMHO can be totally harmless and I would even make the argument that in some cases, it helps people appreciate what they have at home.

Great post and so true.WestCoaster said:Question from above: Does a man need to tell a woman why he is breaking up? Yes. The woman should get an answer. If you can't sit through women's tears or drama, you're a pus-y. I've been through a helluva lot more than women's tears in my life.
Just be a man. Cheating is the first sign of being a p-ssy.
Some options and ideas:
1. What's wrong with being alone?
2. Why get married if you want to play the field? Because society told you to get married? That's stupid. Society also says sitcoms and fast food should be consumed on a daily basis.
3. Why not date a ton of chicks and tell each one you're playing the field? You'll lose a lot of them, others it won't bother.
Why not just be a man and be honest? Either get married and be faithful or decide not to get married and play the field. I have more respect for hookers than I do people who cheat, I really do. The difference is the hooker is honest about who she is.
Just be honest and forthright -- why not?
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
