Guys don't follow that rule (unless they are gay), they worry about women following it. It appears to be originating from a post on the (rather toxic and apparently now defunct) reddit sub /r/FemaleDatingStrategy many years ago, but apparently is still being brought up.

  Worrying about women following… Still a guy issue/hang-up then.

    Ah, and all those women worrying about men following PUA influences, is that also "still a girl issue/hang-up then"?

"Guys" that follow 6-6-6? This is a dating rule by women for women, not guys.

  Smells more like a dating rule by guys who think this is a dating rule by women.

    I believe it came from a womens' dating forum. Now do most women seriously follow it? Almost certainly not but I don't know any blokes that care about this rule. Why would they? Are you the type of person that believes only men can say foolish things?

      Okay, so someone said something silly on a dating forum once. But the question is who, if anyone, actually _believes_ in it.

        Probably no one actually follows this rule. That doesn't mean that teenage boys are either the origin or the ones perpetuating it. They're just an easy target to throw crap at.

  ... I mean, realistically it sounds like the sort of thing that only teenage and young adult men would believe in. What makes you think that women subscribe to it?

    The written record? You'd be surprised at how much "incel" terminology about how women are, started out as advice in self help literature by and for women, or in magazines like Cosmo. There used to be a whole subreddit for Cosmo's terrible relationship advice.

The only three 6 mafia rule i follow is "What is her favorite three 6 album"? Anything after "Da Unbreakables" is a red flag IMO. If "Chapter 2" or "Live By Yo Rep" come up, I might be in love.
