"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I think so. I just got out of a relationship that lasted a little longer than a year with a woman I didn't even like that much. I broke up with her a couple months ago and I can't seem to get her off of my mind now. I don't know why I'm stressing over it as I know the relationship wasn't a permanent thing, but for some reason, I can't get out of this funk I'm in at the moment.

A women can cause a man to be depressed. Anyone who's been dumped in an LTR will not argue that you do feel depressed after getting your heart kicked in.

This applies to getting punked at dating too.

However, I think the real question isn't can a women cause you to be depressed, but how do you react to it.

For example:

If you chase and chase a girl, and she has all the power and you're constantly feeling rejected, then you are causing yourself to be depressed.. Not the chick.

If you move on with your life you will no longer feel depressed..

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you get dumped and you keep begging for second chances, it's gonna hurt a lot more, especially if she leads you on and then rejects you.

If you move on and don't look back, it will hurt, but you will heal.


So yes they can cause depression, but it's only long term if you allow it to be.
 

"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.

Are you asking can they drive a man to be depressed or insane?
There are huge differences between the two illneses. I think not only men but women too can become depressed if they cant keep a man.
I dont think they can drive them to insanity tho, at least not permanent insanity.

I would say yes since i just got my heart kicked in by an 8 year relationship. Its only as bad as you let it get but then again its hard to control how you heart feels when its kicked in like that.

If you can control the situation then definitely you can get past the depression quicker.

Yes, most certainly.

In my case, it was two LTRs (9yrs & @3yrs) that got to me badly. Anything shorter/less committed didn't really matter.

If you're that subject to depression, then you already had the disease, it was just waiting for an environmental trigger to set it off. You need medication at the very least if this is happening. An SSRI is probably most appropriate and has an excellent change of reducing your depressive symptoms. There are online depression scales you can take, print out, and carry with you to an MD if talking to a mental health professional carries too much stigma. I can tell you from my work experience that nothing makes a man more attractive to women than being happy.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
