"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.

Something happened ......



















I had my 90 day evaluation and I received a 78 cent raise. Previously I received a $1 raise within the 2nd week when I first started. My supervisor is real happy. The owner is really happy. The owner wants me to learn everything as fast as possible so he give me a truck and a crew. This is great. But I work hard .

"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.

Being a slave sucks. They keep you poor to demoralize you, so you feel trapped and stay.

If they fail to compensate you for inflation, start looking for other work. The best way to a good raise, is other gigs in the pipeline.

Get rid of some bills. Go with the bare necessities.

I'm living with the bare necessities now . This Job does have potential if I get a under me. But its hard to get these young kids ages 17 to 25, to last more than Two days .Because they are 85% plusses that can't do hard work.

At the least this is character building at most i can get a crew under me and possibly this will lead to other things.

Well said. If nothing else, it shows that you are like one of the 15% that is willing to work hard. And you're learning.

Why do you keep repeating these numbers? Obviously you all hate me which, whatever. But why not get over it in trying to improve my life and change my ways. If I could make amends I would do it
 

"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.

? I'm not sure you read my post. I was trying to congratulate you.
You said 85% of the kids wouldn't do hard work. I was saying it was good that you were like one of the 15% who could.

This^ is exactly what we are at work anymore, slaves to the system.

Gone are the days with a nice and simple "go to work 5 x days, be on time, work hard, have pride in your work, go home, get paid on Friday. "

Now it's "Go to work, do your job, do 3 x people's jobs who are slackers and won't pull weight, do 3 x more people's jobs to account for short staffing to begin with, get blamed for stuff you didn't do or chastised for the tiniest mistake, watch others who didn't do anything get credit for your work when successful, stand up for yourself and get written up for being adversarial, go home with temporary energy loss and a little more of your soul permanently gone"

"Learn to live on lentils, and you will not have to be subservient to the king."

"I’ve been broke even oftener than I’ve been wealthy. Of the two, being broke is more interesting, as a man who doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from is never bored. He may be angry or several other things—but not bored. His predicament sharpens his thoughts, spurs him into action, adds zest to his life, whether he knows it or not."

"Indeed the state of all who are preoccupied is wretched, but the most wretched are those who are toiling not even at their own preoccupations, but must regulate their sleep by another’s, and their walk by another’s pace, and obey orders in those freest of all things, loving and hating. If such people want to know how short their lives are, let them reflect how small a portion is their own."


I'll be at work on Monday, but I keep these thoughts with me.

I'm convinced that full-time/salary jobs are for married men, men with kids and suckers.

Makes me a sucker.
 

"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.

If you have to max the credit cards out then buy Bitcoin.... On a spike, sell half and put it into gold. That way, you may have some chance of wealth...
