"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 how do you guys treat your fellow man? Your bros ( and if you have any girls that are JUST friends )? Im wondering because im trying to improve as a person overall, and that means i want to treat my friends better and keep them, because i know a lot of people, but i have very very few close friends. What are some characteristics that cannot be forgotten if you want to be a good friend?

"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.

Me and my friends eat at eachothers places every now and then. We cook for a group and then later play Risk! (the boardgame) or go to a bar. This is very good for the groupbonding. If you want to become a better friend then it's good to maybe do the same thing, but with one guy. People in groups are always different than 101.

It's also good to show that they can count on you when they're in trouble or feel bad. Ask personal questions, how they feel. When you know someone has a sick grandpa, ask them about it.

I would say the number one thing to be a good friend is Reliability. You have to be there and be aware. Sorry, cheesy. But seriously, you need to spend time with them and be a good friend. Know when to have fun, know when to make jokes, know when to listen to jokes, know when to lend an ear, and know when to tell them to man the **** up (or woman the **** up) and get over it.

You won't be perfect but if you make a good effort a good person will recognize it.

To me the most important thing in a friend is trust and honesty.
