Don Juan
A woman that earn more than you will never respect you or consider you as a great catch..
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 asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You mean a "shallow woman" right?A woman that earn more than you will never respect you or consider you as a great catch..
Great, now she can remember the breakup once a year, from now on!She stated.. what kind of man dumps his GF on her birthday and leaves her in an apartment in a strange town?
IndeedYou mean a "shallow woman" right?
Any respectful lady that is worth your time should pick up the tab from time to time. A woman who doesent ever or holds t against you is a user if she thinks you are her free ride.The fact that she has bought up money as an issue has really pizzed me off.. i always paid my way the best i could.
It was only on one or two occasions in the 5 months or the six months i was seeing her that she paid for things...
Can't believe how shallow this person really was!
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Stop thinking stupid. You did the right thing. That wasn't your woman. She was using you for security while she does what ever the F she wanted to do.I,m feeling that sadness creeping in here.. WTF have i done guys..
She was attractive, good job we could have made a life together.. now its all gone.
I know it had to be done, but still its starting to hurt
Your loneliness is trumping rational thought. You are validating her bad behaviour and bad qualities because of loneliness. Disrespect. Dishonesty and rudeness and different values are not someone you can make a life with no matter how good her job is. Someone who looks down their nose at you doesent deserve your time or effort. Go meet a new lady. You'd be amazed how quickly your sadness for her will subside.I,m feeling that sadness creeping in here.. WTF have i done guys..

Dude, once you get a woman who treats you right you will feel like a KING in comparison. This woman was holding you back in all sorts of ways.Your loneliness is trumping rational thought.

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.

Hey man i really appreciate your words there.. means alot and makes allot of sense.When you meet a woman deserving of your time and attention, you will never doubt her values. Sure you will have disagreements, but core compatibility values will always be congruent. Nor do you want a women to change her values for you, as it would not be a genuine change and thus she will likely falter in that change down the road.
Congrats. Walking and staying away from a woman who is incongruent with your essence is the hallmark of a DJ. All other thoughts of would be, could be, should be is your body, not YOU, looking for a quick fix to ease the "pain." Withdrawal of anything begins with nastalgia. As long you remain true to yourself, that "emptiness" will slowly transmute to strength, having overcome an old thinking paradigm of the body's machinated "helplessness."
YOU are in control Don Juan. As long as you remain true to YOU, and not your body, you will evolve and realize that your value is directly attributable to what YOU are willing to accept and not accept in your life. As what you are willing to accept is a reflection of YOU.
Focus on hobbies and/or acquiring new plates. You need to move on from this, or you will dig yourself into a hole! (Expirience)Its funny how once you develop onitis, hows many obvious red flags you choose to ignore..
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
There's the magic word. That's what we guys tend to do... we feel the pain of breaking up with what we imagined, not what is real.I imagined we could have a life together..
If you've ever had oneitis's in the past, ask yourself how you feel about them now OP? Nothing most likely. The present one will fall into that category eventually.Its funny how once you develop onitis, hows many obvious red flags you choose to ignore..
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.
