"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.

How often does a fuel filter need to be replaced on a 1999 Ford Escort?

Also, do I have to/should I also pay to have the fuel system "cleaned" when I do this?

Thanks for any advice/help :)
 

"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.

:) Thank you... I didn't want to pay to have something done if it isn't "really" needed!

Usually you replace the fuel filter around every 60,000 miles. If the car isn't running bad, I wouldn't pay to have the fuel system cleaned. Just put a bottle of Techron fuel system cleaner in it at fillup. You can buy it at most stores and at Auto parts stores. I don't know what area you live in but if you have acces to Chevron/Texaco or Shell gas, they have the additives that usually will keep your fuel system clean.

While we're on this topic.

What does an Engine Shampoo accomplish? It's a service offered at the local station, but am not exactly sure what it does.
 

"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 never heard of that. Is it a different grade of gas or what? If so then it's probably just a name for fuel system cleaner. Techron is supposedly the best on the market. If it's a car wash to clean the outside of the engine, then I wouldn't do it.

Fuel system cleaning is not a normal maintenance procedure. It's more for when you have deposits on your injector tips and your car's running rough. Other than occasionally changing your fuel filter the injectors are about the only place where deposits really accumulate and cause a problem because of the heat there causing the fuel to cook and plug up the injector orifice. They charge $4/gal for gas but don't even put enough detergents in gasoline. So I think it's a good idea to add 1 can of Techron every 3,000 miles or so.

Hi Keto - You're being so nice to me - are you sure you're feelin' alright Hon? :D


I have 73,000 miles on it. I went and had it changed and I had them clean the fuel too. I had a $20 off coupon in my glove box so it came to $100. I will use that Techron stuff in the future as you suggest, thank you.
