Although I liked Survivorman better, I still liked his show.

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.
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 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.
Wow. And i thought the delusion stopped with women and money.Falcon said:Yea he probably is still a bad-ass in real life, but I was disappointed after seeing that clip. I was a fan when his show first started. ButI think if there is one thing that human beings can't stand the most, it is the feeling that you've been deceived or manipulated. If the show is more about the ratings than authenticity, you can count me out from watching it. Now you have to question everything he does. Like did he really eat raw zebra meat? If he didn't, then not only is he deceiving us, but he is giving horrible advice which may get someone killed. I recalled a thread on this very forum where people were contemplating to do what he did (Yikes!). There's a whole website dedicated to exposing him apparently: http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/bearwiki/Main_Page
Uh, who treats Bear like a god? It doesn't surprise me at all.Falcon said:So no one found this surprising? It surprised me. Lately, the majority of my TV watching is with the Discovery and History channel. I always thought these two channels were at least a little more credible than the others.
I could've sworn people were treating Bear like a god not long ago.
