"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.

"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.

Anytime a woman will go out purposely to get an std to give it to a man who cheated on her, how can you blame the guy? I'd want to get away from her craziness also.

I got to the part where it talked about having sex to "emotionally bond".
Horse crp.

I've read the book.
It's pretty good and talks about the evolutionary reasons of everything we discuss here.

I thought this part was interesting, especially since around here it seems like the first thing everyone says is get into the gym. In my experience women do like their guys to be in shape, and they DO like muscles, but I have heard this before that they don't like the competitive bodybuilding look. At some point it appears you will get diminishing returns from women for lifting.
The other thing that caught my eye was the bits about "revenge sex" and "mate poaching". Girls will have sex with a guy to get revenge at someone. Maybe if you cheat on her with another girl, she will have sex with that girl's boyfriend to get even with both of you. I've seen that happen.
And I've definitely seen a lot of "mate poaching". From what I've seen girls will shamelessly go after each other's men, some of them anyway. Definitely more likley to happen that for a guy to go after another guy's girl. And when they do it's often at the girl's instigation. Men have a SLIGHTLY better sense of honor when it comes to this type of thing. Bros before hos, you know.
Bragging rights to friends? My friends rarely even meet any girls i go out with.
Hmm... is that why they always show up with women when we go out but i don't? They're showing off or they just have nothing else to do with their dates?
