Cheating doesnt hurt cheater the most. It hurts more to be cheaten if You dint cheat than to cheat. Trust me.
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.
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.

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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
you're so evil and cold dude. i like you.Originally posted by MightyMate

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.
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.

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?
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.
