"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 read the book?

A chick once told me that every guy should read it because that's how all women want to be treated in the sack, and Christian Grey was her dream man, and blah, blah, blah (stopped listening).

Anyway, I'm looking for a new book to read and thought this could be it (research).

I understand the main principles of the book, basically how a woman wants to be dominated. I figured there might already be a thread on this, since the book came out a while ago and it was such a big hit for the ladies, but I couldn't find any.

Any thoughts.....
 

"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.

always bear in mind, a woman giving a man advice about relationships, the advice is usually worthless

How patient are you?

Chick lit is always poorly written diarrhea, it's just the way it is and always will be, It's not meant to be read by men. Different wiring and all that. If your not prepubescent ,full of estrogen or a moron your not going to get past the first 10 pages anyway without the urge to gouge your eyes out so it's kind of a moot point.

Read some of the great books for men instead.:up:

This is what I was thinking and why I haven't read it yet.

But I'm still thinking it might be a good thing to read, just to know what it's all about....educational purposes ;)
