"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.

"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.

Not an artist but it looks to be much of the shading on the right figure, for example the extra dark shading down the side of her face that is responsible for the change. Those close up details that define the expression on the left face become less visible at a distance where shading factors take over

Also works if you just blur your eyes. Less effort.

ah, that's something about your eyes focus. An easier way to do the trick would be to put one of your fingers close to your eyes, and focus on it. Then look to the picture while keeping your eyes focused on your finger.
Now I know how it works:D

There are people who use this as an excuse. Ya know when girls in moves talk about the 'lighting' makes them look bad? Or it's all about the lights when you are a runway photgrapher. This is true. Slight shading makes a huge difference with this picture. Pretty cool imo, I wonder if there are more of these around.

Is it you, or do the lights in here make your nose look big?

Any girl who's played with a camera should know what your talking about;)
