"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.

Women just haven't been the main focus at all last few months - which has corresponded with probably the most productive and positive period of my twenties. Content with how things are going. However this has brought with it the necessity of flaking on women.

Tomorrow I arranged to meet three chicks, but then I got a last minute client meeting (money before h0es). I like the look of the girls enough to want to rearrange the dates for a better night. What's the best way to flake and keep the "player" alarm bells from ringing in their ears?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Tell them you got a last minute client meeting with a very important client and you want to reschedule. Same idea that, if a chick is going to flake on a date with a dude, she should go in with a counter offer, otherwise she really isnt interested.

Money before h0es. Got that right!

I agree with @EyeBRollin

Plus once you are the high value person, flaking becomes pretty normal. I do it a lot. I was supposed to grab brunch with a plate this past Saturday. I ended up over sleeping and woke up to several texts asking me if I was still coming. Didn't respond until Sunday.

I think back to my younger days when women would flake on me like I was dirt. Now that I can turn it around, I don't feel bad at all.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Which is?
not going out with a chick who wants to go out with you should be seen as more of a missed opportunity than a thing to be proud of (unless there's something wrong with her)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Wrong. The end goal is not to get the girl but enjoy life. Would you rue a decision to stay in, rather than watch a film at the cinema a "missed opportunity"? I think not. It's simply preference.

At the moment, women just really are a more sentient form of entertainment.

Yes actually, I've regretted staying in almost every time I've ever done it, granted im closer to a shut in than a party animal

"Something suddenly came up"
- Greg Brady

Actually, don't give a reason, just say "Darling, I won't be able to make it tomorrow as planned but I will make it up to you".
 

"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.
