"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.

True. I am working on myself, no doubt. I guess it's a once bitten twice shy attitude. I can take rejection, it's just the mixed messages I find perplexing.
The mixed messages would be a form of rejection. So it’s rejection you can’t handle because your reaction says more than anything. And within that is where your personal learning and growing needs to take place. Because in your strongest self, that rejection from another person should mean nothing because you would know you’re value and you’d rather see it as her loss and lack of good judgement, than ‘why is she doing this to me’.
It’s something I’m working and learning right now too.
It’s making the switch between victor and victim mentality. It takes time. However, just realize you have a growth mindset and not fixed.
 

"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.

And because youre getting bent out of shape and racking your mind on her mixed messages, that also shows you’re placing your self worth and validation in her control. So in that case, you’ll always bend to other people/women.
Someone with high self value wouldn’t even bat an eye if that person was sending mixed signals. They would be ready to eject them in to outer space as it wouldn’t align with there ideal connection.

The zone was just as I was a painting the mural. I was very active in touching her and advising her. Perhaps, it wasn't a good idea for a date. I'm not perfect.
Women who are highly interested in you DON'T send mixed messages. You only get mixed messages from women when you are lower on their "list".

The advice is always the same. Work on finding women where you are at the top of their list and you will not find this happening anymore.
