She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
No I'm incel. And I'm not a slut-shamer.Do you have a daughter? Curious.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Your descendants are dean's list people? Well - the equivalent is if she set her profile pic to other honor roll students.No. Because if my daughters were doing this I would consider this my fault.
My girls are dean's list students in college on scholarships, they are athletes and would never do anything stupid that would embarrass the family.
Dean's list... not likely. I was the first person on either side on my family to graduate from college, my brothers were the 2nd and 3rd, and NONE of us were Dean's list material. We all did okay, but none of us had GPAs to brag about.Your descendants are dean's list people? Well - the equivalent is if she set her profile pic to other honor roll students.
Can be profile picing to all the PhD students in her group. Doesn't have to be thug guys.
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.
I'll use this photo as an example..I remember going to an abandoned factory, where I saw an old office picture of a woman at her desk surrounded by guy employees. And there was graffiti pointing to her that said "the hoe of the company." It's weird that whenever a girl has a pic of her surrounded by guys, even non-sexual, that people will interpret it that way.
I've been an anti-slutshamer since day 1. Even in elementary school...You're projecting. Clean your sh*t up.
Not the word, but the idea of women having multiple guy friendsYou knew what sluts are in elementary school?
Again, you're projecting. Clean your sh*t up.
I also support the idea of giving women big salaries than men. I have some distant relatives in my family where the wife makes a lot more than the husband. And their relationships still work out fine. Insecure men are a fall-back on society...My mom after graduating law school took a job in the federal government with OEO (now the NSA). It required business travel and was a male dominated field in the 1960s. She was very proud of a photo of her with her department colleagues around a large conference table. She was the sole woman. To her this meant she had the same qualifications as the men in suits (roughly 14 or so) that she worked with. She was proud of that photo as she saw it as being just as smart as the men.
My father felt it gave the wrong impression of her. He felt like many of you do. It’s sexist certainly. But my dad insisted she give up that job, and be a full time wife & mother if she was going to be his spouse.
Thusly my mother insisted myself and my sisters all get a college education and be self sufficient because she had contempt for my father having squelched her ambitions and intellectual ability. But his point was he didn’t want his wife/my mother perceived as a tart, and he was immovable in that.
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.
Yes I agree. Reputation was very important to my father (to my mother and my whole family honestly), and my mother understood that even though she resented it.From his perspective - this is the only part that matters.
Reputation matters a lot for men. At the time I imagine this to have happened, I fully believe that other men your father worked with would be making those kinds of comments to him day in and day out. I wouldn't put up with it either.
But it had nothing to do with your mother, and she is the one who unfortunately held the cards for his reputation.
Will Smith was a lot cooler before his wife fvcked some dude half his age, then that same dude released an entire R&B album detailing what they did, and Will stayed married anyways. He only had to leave to save his reputation.
I am surprised my posts in that thread made such an impression on you that you recall it now, four months later, and considering that I have not been posting lately and don't intend on posting frequently from here on. I've only been browsing lately here and there. If I recall correctly I have been a poster here for less than a year and recently realized that perhaps at this stage of my life and considering my life aims, family and child-raising aims included, this forum doesn't suit me much and isn't what I thought it would be upon joining. Much of my views, conclusions, and observation also clash with others and I don't wish to engage in online insult matches or start e-beef with people unnecessarily.No I'm incel. And I'm not a slut-shamer.
Manure Spherian has a daughter and he's a slut-shamer. https://www.sosuave.net/forum/threa...ere-be-less-slut-shamers-in-the-world.279057/
If I recall correctly, you have some link with slut-shaming--the useful and justified "double standard" that feminists of both sexes make such a fuss over--and American republicanism, conservatism, and religion. I myself am not religious or a republican or a conservative and sexual regulation was in practice across the whole world for thousands of years considering in the past people were smarter and more astute than they are today and didn't want third parties, actually society at large, cleaning up other people's messes.Slut-shaming is also for Republicans, so.
Nearly all but one woman I know, most of them very pretty, who were constantly socializing with boys at young ages and onwards, are all divorced, including a drop-dead gorgeous alpha widow who was once married to a professional baseball player. And I don't mean normal amounts of socializing with both sexes that occurs in people's youth.being surrounded by guys
Spot on. And thanks for the tagA woman should not be entertaining attention from that many men. A picture does not do a justice to whether that woman wants those men around or not, but the impression stays the same.
Mothers of yesteryear used to teach their daughters not to accept drinks from men they did not plan to date. This extended to not going on dates with men they did not want to sleep with.
Amen. ^ Same here.Because if my daughters were doing this I would consider this my fault.
Well it depends. Is a daughter being a slut, to Tyrones and Joses, or is she being a slut to PhD grad students? My variable isn't who, but math. Just as female police officers that have kicked it with multiple guy police officers, or college professors.I see all the social pathologies and divorces (something with serious ramifications, particularly on children) that resulted. That's not to mention the stupid, coercive, and dangerous positions such girls as young as fourteen find themselves in when outnumbered by boys in some social situations, such as being coerced to service high and drunk boys in unsupervised homes of air headed negligent parents (and yes, I have other stories).
Since when are these mutually exclusive? I never knew all Phd's are lovely darlings with perfect behavior.Even though this thread is about profile pics, I'll slippery slope with others.
