"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

As you date someone you get away and let them get away with more.. some quirks some bad ideas, etc. At which point do you think you are as close to not being able to mess it up - where they accept you as you are no matter what? Marriage, after 10 years? 20? It has to be awhile has anyone reached that point, besides telling her you slept with her sister and mother, and want to sleep with underage girls, is there anything that could mess it up?
 

"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.

What? That's like asking "at what point can you just lie down and die?" or your wife asking "at what point can I become a complete fat shrew who never puts out?" you can do it when ever you want to, but just be willing to face the consequences.

At no point. 100% comfort is boring anyway, so it's a good thing.

Tho I have a question- do women EVER tell us everything?

do you think they ever will? esp. in marriage

I think you can get it out of them. At any time.
 

"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.

You can ALWAYS **** up a relationship no matter what. My best friend from childhood seemingly had the picture perfect family. His Mom and Dad seemed very much in love and they'd been married for 25 years and had 3 kids.

A couple of years ago, I was shocked to learn that they got divorced. Now both his parents have remarried. His mother recently added me on Facebook and it was so weird because since my early childhood, I'd been calling her Mrs. Cooper. But that was no longer her name.

The only person who will love you unconditionally is your mother (if you have a good mother). Every other person you know can and will leave you if you fvck up. Let's put it this way: when Timothy McVeigh was set to be executed, who was there for him in his final moments? Only his mother. Every other person in his life had disowned him (as he should have been).
