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.
Deflection. What about it?Oh yeah? Well, what about when the states legalize marijuana, while it's still a crime at the federal level?

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Not much for a sense of humor, eh? Oh well.
Ashcroft v Raiche declared that handing a bag of weed to your neighbor, even if you grew it yourself and charged no money, substantially affected interstate commerce enough to be declared the jurisdiction of the federal government under the interstate commerce clause. The fact that such activity is neither interstate, nor commerce, did not matter. The feds still retain jurisdiction to lock up every legal med pot patient, but simply choose to not do so. They still can if they want to, the states have no right to object in a constitutional sense. So state's rights are not relevant to that situation.Oh yeah? Well, what about when the states legalize marijuana, while it's still a crime at the federal level?

Some people use that passage as an example of masturbation being sinful, although what really is at issue is that Onan is cheating his brother. In any case, semen is not a fetus, nor is ovulation.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Tolkien himself was a devout Christian, and his faith was intrical to his work on Middle Earth.
