"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.

Anybody got any active tips for conversation here? I stink at it. I dry up. Anybody got any activities that might help me improve. I am trying to talk to assistants in shops etc. Anybody got any other tips?
 

"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.

The best advice I could give you is TALK TO PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. Talk to guys as well as girls. Talk to all age groups.

Be the fun, friendly guy who talks to everyone. This is the sort of guy who gets laid!

Talk to people in shops, when waiting for the bus/train, when waiting in a queue or line, etc. Say something funny and make them laugh, or just some small talk and ask how their day is going or what they're up to today. Basically, don't be that silent guy who never talks to anyone. Stand out and be different.

If you get used to being a social guy, you will naturally be talkative with women, therefore more confident around them.

Hope that helps.

Think of it as though you are a talk show host interviewing a guest. I recently realized that the things you say and questions you ask shouldn't be for the sake of actual information. Just for entertainment. This sounds wierd but it's the best way to go with people you aren't familiar with.

Do you ever listen to Public Radio?

A really good example of this is the Michael Feldman show on NPR when he talks to audience members. His job is to entertain the listener at home and he manages to do that by asking regular audience people about the quirks of mundane parts of their lives.

Pay close attention to their choice of words. If you can find an alternate meaning in them, take it instead of what they meant. I think it was John Cleese said, miscommunication can be the best form of humor. Don't even bother with crappy small talk responses like 'that's pretty good' or whatever, unless you really can't think of anything else to say. Try to relate what they say to a weird story or something that you know.
