"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.

Inside her mind
Long story short I have outgrown the liberal dunghole I live in, most of my friends are either married (which I'm not) or have moved to other places. The main critieria for my move is to advance my business(es) because I will be starting a new one this year.

Some of the critiera I'm looking at

Tax Friendly(espeically captial gains,crypto, stocks and housing tax, business etc)
Housing Market-Looking to get a house a condo is fine to
Weather-I don't Mind winters but I'm tired of living in a state where winter is 6 months long
Traffic-Traffic is important but since I work for myself it's not a big deal
Cost of living-well anywhere you go now with inflation,cost of living is gonna go up
Culture-I enjoy going to art galleries, music festivals (chrisitan), etc I don't care for the fast life been there done that
People-I'm tired of virtue signaling leftist, yes I'm a minority no I don't vote democrat, no I don't need you to feel sorry for me I'm not a victim

Top States/Cities I'm looking At

Florida-Very Tax friendly,great weather traffic sucks depending on where you're at

Atlanta-Decent taxes, and a place where my business ventures could flourish (traffic sucks)

Puerto Rico-very friendly for taxes espeically crypto taxes, great weather but do I wanna live there?

Arizona-great weather, decent culture, and decent Tax, hot weather yikes (but hotter women)

Texas-great taxes, pletny of things to do, but the weather in the summer may be to much

Colorado-Checks most of my list however having visted there I tend to get nosebleeds cause of the air etc

anyway please chime in gents, all the places I listed I have visited multiiple times except for Puerto Rico FYI

Thank you
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The downside of Arizona is the quality of jobs. For a metro area of its size, Phoenix has few corporate HQs for large businesses. That's because Phoenix was nothing before air conditioning got popular, so older, established companies have HQs elsewhere. That affects the entire local economy.

Arizona is the classic great place to visit, less than ideal place to live. Exceptions would be if your work is in the medical field taking care of all the retirees there.

AZ is one of the top 5 places for IT jobs right now. The tech industry will continue to grow. Lots of companies are opening up offices in AZ now
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Avoid the East coast, West coast, Illinois (or at least Chicago anyway), and central north Canadian boarder states.
