"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.

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 .

"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.

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
 

"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.

? 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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

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...
