"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 grew up watching Michael perform during the bowl.Thought Kendrick was pretty original.!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The two youngest people in the group watching with me were already Kendrick Lamar fans, late 20s in age. They loved it. Everyone else who was older, myself included, didn't understand anything and hated it. I did like his car though, and it made me look up the gsx, which was an amazing vehicle. Nice ones go for six figures, not bad for a 1980s Buick.

Just pooled it up on youtube, had to turn it off at 1:16 mark. It's mamble rap trash. Message seems to be political, something to do with BLM or black something. It has nothing to do with American Football, that's for sure. I sense entitilement and lack of culture. Horrible IMO.

Don't mix sports and politics. But that seems to be the trend these days. Europe started this trend prior to covid. Now you got infected.

I'd love to see something real, like Queen, or Twisted Sisters, or even Ace of Base. I'm pretty sure there are similar artists these days. Jeneffer Lopez for example, or Shakeera, or you have a whole bunch of country artists.
