"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.
Anyone work or live in saudi arabia?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

He might have some interest in converting to Islam and getting a wife.
Man I wish Christianity has Islam's culture sometime, I mean I'm fine with my Christian beliefs.
But the Islamic culture is just fantastic to me, it's patriarchal, you're allowed to have 4 wives and you have arrange marriages where you get all the BS stuff about dating and courtship out of the way and just focus on finding a quality wife.
If only Christianity had Islam's culture here in America, we'd be a powerhouse again.

That's interesting. If guys have 4 wives, does that mean women outnumber men 4 to 1. Or does it mean 3 out of 4 guys have no women.

As MDJ says "...You will be the most incelibate version of yourself over there".....Yeah all that and the soberest!
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
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.

I declined his offer to mentor me. At the time I was suspicious of a guy that had two families. He had an Islamic wife and children in SA, and a Christian family in the USA (with grown children) from before he moved to SA. I found the whole thing sketchy.

He was also probably a closeted homosexual, like many men in Saudi Arabia, which may explain why he was so keen to "mentor" you. While islam treats homosexuality as a mortal sin, that only applies to open homosexuality. If you keep it on the DL and do it behind close doors with your cousin, the neighbor's kid, etc., it is accepted and tolerated.
I'm supposed to go there, just haven't had the time.
I have a friend working there and some of my team members travel back and forth to saudi.

So if Jimmy Saville had left Britian, and pitched both his literal and figurative tent in Riyadh rather than London, he'd likely be a venerated figure today

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.
