"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.

A prop?

Hey guys. I know the common response will be "Next" but please give me a little more than that.

Long story short I just started dating a girl, and while she was over in my room she checked her facebook. After she left she forgot to log out. Granted I shouldn't have checked her Inbox, but once I did I found something I didn't like.

It was a message to her best friend about me, and one of her ex's. Supposedly at a party one of her other friends told her ex that she had a new love interest. (me). She then gleefully told her best friend that he had all sorts of questions, who was he?, blah blah. Either way she commented on how jealous he was.

My question is: Obviously she still has baggage. She's trying to get this other guy jealous. Am I being used as a prop? Is it even worth trying to date this girl? I'm disappointed because I made the mistake of thinking she wasn't as big a ***** as her friends. Too bad she's in the same boat.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, because I'm in uncharted waters right now.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

You my friend have just opened Pandora's box (or inbox, as the case may be.) If I were you I'd pretend I never saw it and just play it cool. Just look for the signs that she is using you for a rebound and don't let her get to you. Let her be the tool if it plays out like that.

First off shame on you for reading her inbox.

Secondly. What do you care if she wants to make her ex jealous? Its a pretty common desire. It was not meant for you to read. It was a message to her best friend. Girl talk..?

You tell US.. are you a prop? Or are you a man?

Play it cool. And don't do stupid sh1t like that again. It's like a cancer or worse to behave like that. I really hope that it was just a horrendous moment of weakness for you.

Besides all of your judgemental comments you do offer good advice. I will play it cool, which is what I was planning to do in the first place.

Youre telling me if your girlfriend left her inbox open on your computer and you caught one of the subjects you wouldn't be compelled to read it? Give me a break.

We are curious creatures by nature, that's why I looked. Quite frankly if she wants to use me as a prop to get back at her ex, then she's going to do that. It's out of my control, so why the hell does it matter anyway?

This is why this site angers me sometimes, so I ****ed up by seeing the message. I know that, you don't have to tell me that. All I was looking for was advice to help me move forward.

So thanks to some extent.
 

"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.

That's what I thought. If I'm ever put in this situation again I will stay the hell away from stuff like this.

Thanks.
