Say you disliked children (I'm not fond of them), would you consider it?
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.
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.

Man, you're full of good wisdom. The only reason I keep coming back to this forums is to read your postsBible_Belt said:It's only ok if she beats the kids. That keeps them in line, and you're not allowed to beat them, so she has to do it. Otherwise, the kids are brats who ruin both of your lives.

I think Belt nailed this one. Nothing makes a kid more jealous than his mom showing someone else interest in front of them. It's always going to be a financial liability one way or another. Maybe mom will pay for the kids things but now mom doesn't have much money for herself. No matter what you end up paying for those kids who prolly hate your guts.Bible_Belt said:It's only ok if she beats the kids.
