"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.

Eh, I never found much need to snuggle. And the more I don't, the greater the contenders' needs, to.

Now fvcking; well, that's another story!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

No, but it doesn't give me the same excitement as it did at one point.

As for the other things like doing my dishes, giving me money for the food she eats at my place, bringing me refreshments while I'm fixing my jeep and even that death grip she has on me, are fantastic replacements that I don't get from most women. I don't even ask her for that stuff, she just does it.
That's a real woman. I know you love it. I know some real women and it really does raise your man level. Dealing with the knuckleheads is good for you too, teaches you to value yourself. But a good woman will bless you.

Des,

I'm curious, what would you say your SMV is compared to hers? My SMV is at least 2 points higher than the girl I mentioned.

@Desdinova I'm curious. I quoted a great old post of yours on another thread on emotional fluctuation.

There you said a good tactic was to be up early in the morning doing things when she woke up. So basically sometimes she gets cuddled sometimes she doesn't.

Has your thinking on that changed?
 

"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.
