"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.

Curious how other fathers have reconciled this thought when attractive younger women show interest in you?

If you don't have some awkward feelings about what you wold think about your own sweet daughter meeting a man your age then I wonder about your Father cred...
 

"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.

Well, I don't have any children, so I'm spared all these feelings.

I notice a lot of fathers resent or even outright hate their daughters boyfriends though, no matter what their age. In some cultures, fathers pair their young girls off with older men as husbands because they are mature and established, and able to properly care for them.
I guess fathers don't like older men messing with their daughters because they think they will take advantage of them. It's not like older men are just inherently evil. Are they?

Don't think the younger guys won't also be looking to get busy with the daughters though! But some might be too clumsy and awkward to get the job done.

Most fathers will likely in with their daughter decision, as long they see that their girl is doing fine and happy with the man.. I dont see any issues here.

Younger dudes are more liable to be violent. If anything an older dude gets taken advantage of in the younger situation.
 

"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.

If I had a daughter, I'll encourage her to date a more older matured man.

Someone she can learn from, experience life more, be more emotionally grounded and be guided to a righteous path.

No young man her age can ever do that.

I told mine to date older. One listened and one didn’t.
Age of a woman means nothing to me. I have plenty of experiences ready for her. What kind of memories does she want?
