"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.

He's sort of like a doctor except his handbag is full of Metamucil, condoms and Viagra. He does make frequent housecalls.
 

"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.

Which reminds me that Bob Dole is my hero. Remember when that old fart was hawking Viagra on TV and holding a ballpoint pen as a subliminal phallic symbol and then turned around and had the hots for Britney BBBB (Britney Before Becoming Bald) on a Coke commercial. My goal is to be just like Bob Dole, a horny dirty old man! :yes:

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yo Troops!

I've come to realize that a man is only as old as the women he dates...

...so far I've managed to turn MY clock all the way back to the age of 24. But don't tell anybody around here, though.

Because they may consider my newfound ability to "ERECT" my massive time machine AT WILL is enough to now DISQUALIFY me from posting in the Mature Man Section. lol

Sure wish I’d paid attention to that quote.

Just because they are young and it’s very flattering to have them attracted to you does not mean they should get a “free pass” in your screening system to screen out crazy-flakes.

It’s easy to let your ego get the better part of your good judgment. I’m learning that lesson right now.
