I noticed that too. It's like walking thru a different door.It's funny how bad the relationship can seem once you find a better prospect
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.

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You did your part in educating her.Yes, they will. My kids mom did this. She left a guy for me and eventually left me for another guy (this was before my SS days). Then she had a kid with him and tried to branch swing back to me years later. I cut that branch down with a chainsaw and laughed.
All women do this in some way or form. They always have a new guy or guys lined up.
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.
Sazc is 100% spot on with this..I never say never but, IMO, people don't change. That's why screening is so important.
When we have established a level of comfort, I like to ask my potentials what caused their last breakup.
What I have learned is...
If they explain it to me and place zero accountability/responsibility on their own shoulders (i.e. it's all the other person's fault) then this is a person that doesn't learn from there life or mistakes, and WILL be repeating them, probably with me.
As well, the reason for the breakup, the one they hold their partner totally accountable for, usually rears it's ugly head eventually with the person you are taking to (because there was no growth)
Listen for someone to explain why their last relationship failed and, if they blame the other person entirely, ask them what role they played in the scenario.
If their reply is defensive, red flag. There's no growth there. II don't do "plates" but you men should consider these women as plates in the moment, and screen hard.
If their reply is thoughtful and places some level of accountability on themselves, this is a very good sign. Still screen but she might have some good potential.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
So, a woman with proven hypergamy leaves a man for you and you want to question what will happen?Like, does this happen all the time? What are you experiences with this? I am curious.
The problem is "what is 'better dude?'" More money? better looking? more charisma? more character? more social clout? manlier?This is true for all women. I will caveat this by saying, in addition, that if she believes you are the best she can do she will stay. However, if she has the opportunity to monkey branch to a better dude, then she will. So it's not just about you meeting her needs, it's about who BEST can meet her needs.
Depends on the chick. All women are the same, they all respond to the same male strength characteristics. They are all attracted to looks, status, and money.... but depending on where the chick is in her life, one of those three things might be more important. You can have Brad Pitt looks, but if a chick is three times more influenced by money... you will lose out to a rich guy even if he is bald and fat.The problem is "what is 'better dude?'" More money? better looking? more charisma? more character? more social clout? manlier?
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
This is gold.Another spin on this situation....
I view people who stay in less than stellar relationships as weak. Why do you need the assurance of another warm body before you will find your self esteem and end a relationship that isn't fulfilling?
That's not the type of person I can respect.
Bull****e. His comment completely agreed with the premise of your last bull**** thread. There was no perspective gained fromThis is exactly what I come for in this forum. Thank you, Sir. I just gained perspective.
