What's the game you play seem to me like with a lot of things once you leave high school hard to get a game going just want to know what books courses you take in and if you play online on your phone or in person.
"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.
Anyone here plays poker?

"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.

I used to play Texas Hold 'Em for a while and watch the pro's play as well. like Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Daniel Negreanu, etc. Was never an amazing player but maybe a slight bit above average. I should get back into it but these days I've been playing chess, which feels more strategic and fulfilling. It's honestly really hard to find time for certain hobbies when you have alot of different interests.. It's like you have to put one thing down to pick up another.
I'm a big fan of the tabletop game go

I messed around with Go long enough to learn the rules. That game is harder than chess, I think.
Chess is a game I've played most of my life. Strange thing, I play, I study, I do puzzles, but I never seem to improve. I play at about the same level I always did.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

At one time, I had an Elo score of around 1900. Now I just play my Chessmaster Grandmaster computer game (last updated in 2010), typically against the computer players that have female avatars.

No books or courses for poker. I can play at a high level. Early learning came from losing money and watching free yt videos from coaches and players and streams.
Poker advice:
learn basics obviously.
Bluffing: you will get payed off when opps think you can be bluffing. Look to value bet big when opp can think u could be bluffing.
Calling: underplay your hands in marginal spots opps wont value bet hard if strong cos u look weak, hence strong bets when u look weak are usually bluffs.
