"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Any of you guys ever had such women problems you start to become depressed.was depresses me is not being able too keep a women interested for a long time.Basically my question is can a women really drive a man to become insane.
 

"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.

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.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"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.
