"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.

IF TWO PEOPLE WHO MET ONLINE WANT TO GET MARRIED IT REQUIRES GOING ON ALMOST *1400 DATES..........Bad Boy Danny Bonaducci met his ex-wife and married her on the same night.

She claimed she was saving herself 'til marriage.........so he proposed and they got married that same night. So you tell me which guy would you rather be........the 1400 date nice guy.......or the bad boy?

*stats according to match.com research.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I wouldnt trust those stats. Many of todays stats are made up out of thin air just to make a company look better.

Its called advertising.

Did he meet his ex-wife on match.com? If he did, then match.com is shooting them selfs in the foot, by saying: "You will find the love of your life on Match.com, but she will be your ex-wife".
 

"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.

I think those stats are the amount of dates someone goes on before they get married in total, not just with that one person. And if that's the case it might make some sense. But yeah, they are bs a bit.

WELL............it equates to about 4 years and that is basically dead on.

Lots or people date 4 years then get married...........

ONLY A FOOL would marry someone in less time..........

The stat is based upon when two compatible people who met online (clock started) to when they got married (clock stopped) on average it took aprox 1369 dates.

I did the math........thats about 5 dates per week for a few years........

They claim 12% of all marriages are attributed to match, E-harmony is just over 3%, POF claims its responsible for 180000 so far.

who goes on 5 dates a week? I only go on 2, maybe 3 a week since I have a job/life outside of the girl I'm seeing.

sucks to be you then
 

"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.

Meh, I won't go through that. I don't think I have the patience nor need to do so.

1400 dates * no telling how much money you spend each time on gas, food, entertainment. Funk that! Unless every single one of those dates is a free walk in the park and spread out of more like 10 years. lol
