"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.

Links to help victims of Hurricane Katrina:

Red Cross local chapters:
Most local chapters are collecting items to deliver to the Gulf Coast. If info isn't listed on your local site, call to find out how you can help. Old clothes, food items, pet food.

GO GIVE BLOOD!

http://www.redcross.org/where/chapts.asp

Donate money:

http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/


301,802 people have donated $43,435,020 to the American Red Cross to be used exclusively for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Rather than all the political posturing, arguing and flaming...why not open your wallets instead, because THAT will make a difference. Arguing politics and such does NOTHING to better the situation.

Moderators...if you feel it's best to lock this, please make it sticky so anyone who is able to and wants to help can see the links. Thanks...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

9/11 didn't have as many living victims, though. People either got out with mostly minor injuries or didn't get out at all. This situation is much different. There are tens of thousands of very sick people. All of the hospitals need to be evacuated and all the wading around in that water is going to lead to staph infections and there will likely be a greater need for blood. Everyone should give money if they can...and people should give blood as well because that is free to do...especially anyone with rare blood types.

I dropped off a bunch of stuff from the list my son brought home from school at the local Red Cross drop off point. I'm going to donate money after I get paid next week, too.
 

"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.
