"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.

So we all know how it is with beautiful women, every guy is on a sushi roulette for them trying to compete for her. Let's say you are one of those guys who want to get with her, so obviously you would encounter competition. As much as you want to juggle plates, you obviously have that one person you want more than the rest. Now my question, how do you guys deal with competition with other males? (considering its an alpha to alpha fight). So in the end you stand up on top.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I don't worry about other men. Either the girl's buying what I'm selling, or she isn't. If a girl fully buys into how you present yourself to her, it's not gonna matter that Jimmy from next door is flirting with her. Because you're her dude, and you're what she wants (at the moment).

There will always be richer and better looking guys for her to chase after, just like there will always be younger, hotter girls for me to chase after. So, I worry about the sh!t I can control. Staying in shape. Staying interesting. Stuff like that.

Here's the thing....when a girl's into you, she automatically assumes that OTHER girls are into you. They're just as paranoid about us as we are about them. So your responsibility is staying desirable so that she knows (and fears) that you can go scoop up a new chick just as easily as she can get a new dude.

I mean, overall it's just a girl. So if I have to constantly "battle" other dudes just to keep her focused on me, then my energy and time is best spent elsewhere. Not gonna have myself losing sleep at night over one of many girls on the planet.

This is a bad way to view the dating market. This puts the woman on the pedestal. Id begin by changing your whole mindset. Subscribe to something like iceberg said:

I definitely agree with you and iceberg. I am pretty fit (5'6), average to a little above average looking but my problem is theres always someone fitter, more better looking than me and happens to swag the girl im dealing with.

With that said, I feel like based on your genetic make up there's just a limit of the type of girls you can date and im pretty sure a lot of you will disagree. If lets say you're a 5'3 guy theres no way you can date someone who's 5'8 model, etc etc. Best you can get is probably a 6 to 7 who is 5'4 to 5'6.. I can go on. Despite having enormous game, theres just certain physical aspects that the game cannot overcome (unless you're rich as hell).

If you're 5'3" with a crap personality and have nothing to contribute to the dating world other than "Hey, I'm a regular guy with a regular job and I like light beer and watching sports." Then...yeah....you're not going to attract quality girls. Because you're just a boring average dude.

If you're a short dude who's awesome and dynamic and interesting, then good things will happen for you.
 

"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.

LOLLL. I guess I was whining there for a bit, but I know its my inadequate game that's screwing me over. I feel like most of the time, indifference is your friend when it comes to girls. Being indifferent is like the 1st commandment of having game.... that's what I feel.

The thing is you can't MAKE them like you. All you can do is be the best person you can be in regards to your current status. Looks take you so far, and this is true for both sexes. Don't care so much about what they think, don't rely on "the game" for everything, and don't beat yourself up if they reject you. This is why we always preach to work on yourself around here. The woman is a sliver of the pie of life, not the whole thing.

Once you show you have a bit of success and power you become so panty-dropping-attractive that it'll blow your mind. Who's in control now??

how do you guys deal with competition with other males?

My attitude toward the woman is, the more time you spend with any other guy, the more you're going to miss me.
