"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.

It's coming to 9:00pm and I've just realized I have spent practically all day on my computer... and this isn't an abnormality. I'm 21 and while worried about myself I'm more concerned for even younger kids. I will (and can) endeavor to get out a lot more (my photo album consists of "night time pictures" :( ) and get some more hobbies, but what about the "myspace generation" or kids even younger who have practically grown up with this all around them? Are they giving up their bicycles for computers, and the internet? What do you guys think about our growing reliance on technology and it's affects on society?

I had many hobbies when I was younger, but sitting here on the computer just seems easy. I can socialize on facebook, research on wikipedia and entertain myself in countless ways... but I realize and over-indulgence in this is very bad. I just want to go back to the old-school you know?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I think once the U.S government's program C3I becomes self aware like the fictional Skynet it is the beginning of the end for humanity.

Read the short story online called "I have no mouth but I must scream" to see why.

Was this thread inspired by my Zen cell phone thread. Anyway, for my incite on this you can read it there.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I had exactly the same complaint about myself. Then I bought a house and was amazed to find out I'm in a tiny dead spot where it's not possible to get any internet but dialup.

It's been a year and I don't think I would spend nearly as much time on the computer anymore even if I had internet at home. Try going unplugged for a while it's not nearly as bad as you would think.

Not having google & wikipedia for every single little question you have might drive you nuts for a while though.
