"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.

But it sounds like you're saying having her here would have been the better play because it's more dominant?
In my opinion it doesn't really matter if you're having sex and continue having sex. Don't mess with what works.

Or do you think since I already offered it would look silly to change the location arbitrarily?
That would look silly, better stick to what you've said.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Thanks buddy! Another random question. So I paid for the drinks and apps on our firs date (obviously, I wouldn't ever make a girl pay), and I'll be bringing the food and stuff to cook at her place this Friday. I know a big topic here is all about investment (time, money, attention, etc.). After this date (granted, I'm 99% sure we will have sex again), when should I expect her to start having a financial investment in this, if ever? Since I am not looking to date this girl is is stupid to keep taking her out or making her stuff (MY financial investment) to have sex with her (HER investment). Or should I expect a casual hook up to pay for stuff too?

Why not? What is it really that makes men think like that, ever wondered that?

Casual, friends, relationship, marriage, family, hookup, man, woman or whatever, I expect others to contribute. Makes no difference to me.

Good advice. Yeah she said she did it for a short time to make some extra cash. She had a NICE place and a lot of Prada. Apparently there is this guy that will still occasionally see her and pay for her food and give her cash JUST TO TALK TO HIM AND LISTEN. She pulled like $1500 cash out of her purse and said he gave it to her like 2 weeks ago for listening to his problems. The dude is like 60. That's wild.
So she’s a sugar baby. But let’s be honest, men don’t pay that kind of money just to “talk”. Unless he is super simp.

Thanks man! And yes thank GOD we have no kids. As soon as there is no other reason I need to have her number (just working out final stuff with divorce and sale of house) I am deleting it and blocking it. Have a great life... lol.
That's what my cousin did with his childless divorce. His ex also moved out of state. I'm not sure he deleted her number but he was glad to not have to talk to her or not randomly ever have to see her around the city where he lives. Since they met through social circle, he heard after the divorce through said social circle that she was going to be in that city one weekend. He was worried that he'd randomly see her in the city that weekend. He didn't.

As soon as the divorce was filed for, he was meeting women through in his social circle. Word got out within the social circle and single women were coming out of the woodwork to try and date him. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before.

I wouldn't let money complicate things. Keep costs down and keep paying for stuff for a little bit if she continues to have sex with you on a regular basis. It's not worth the aggravation to let smaller sums of money get in the way of regular sex with a 20-something ex-stripper.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
