"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.

Any graphic designers?

Where can I get cheap design work done? I'm looking to commission a corporate emblem/family crest type of thing. Are there any websites where designers hangout?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Post an ad on craigslist.org under the jobs section. There's a specific section for art/media/deisgn. Be descriptive in exactly what you're looking for, maybe even post a link to an example of something similar that you like, then see who responds. Ask them to send you a link to their online portfolio of work and if you like what you see, then make a deal.

Word to the wise though, like anything else, and especially so in graphic design, you get what you pay for. I can't emphasize that enough. Better to pay more to a person that knows what they're doing than some jackass teen with his cracked copy of illustrator willing to do it for $50.

Hahahaha.


Let me know what type of stuff you're looking for. If it's something I know I can do, samples are always free. Who knows, maybe $80 graphic job with free sample is what you looking for. I've seen amateurs kill the pros, that's what so wonderful about art!

Thing is though, if they were better than the pros, they'd be charging pro's prices or more. Why would someone that's that good be charging less than everyone else? Think about it.
