Those are not accurate at all, in Russia men outnumber women
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.

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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.
DING DING DING this is something I learned right away being on this site within my first year (2009) if you have a social circle where the average guy makes 6 to 7 figures and in a great location (penthouse, condo in the best part of the city) women will be there left and right. Social circle is so underrated and a lot of guys are missing out on that. Even if you're an older guy a great social circle can funnel women for you if you play it rightPart of the problem is that men have worse social skills than women on average. Men with worse social skills typically tend to seek women on the swipe apps (and from 2000-2012, dating websites) because they don't have a social circle capable of producing dates and don't have the guts to cold approach in non-bar venues (where better ratios in person exist). The websites/swipe apps have even worse ratios than the metro areas at large. So men tend to think that everything is a sausage fest. While ratios as a whole are getting worse, the ratios on swipe apps skew one's perspective even more negatively.
