"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.

"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.

Oh look, I found a prestigious list of writers.....who were a bit alternative.

Maybe someday you will make the list.
Lol. I'm already on a list.

Don't know why you hate on writers so much since you quote T.S. Eliot in your sig. Plus by dint of you expressing your thoughts to me via a computer you are by default a writer.

"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.

My translation of D'anger's post in bold:

Who is hating on writers? What masculine man wouldn't write poems for other men?

I was going to let this go and move on but that poem got to me so much I just had to have the last word. You know, like a woman.

I am so flattered by your obsession with me my tubby little friend. You have hurt me and undermined my fragile, feminine ego so much I just have to find a way to hurt you back. A picture of a random fat dude is the best insult I have.
There is nothing you can say to hurt me D'anger. I, the master wordsmith, am bulletproof to your words.

I have never met a poet who was not a raging reservoir of masculinity. !
There used to be:

Ted Hughes
Dylan Thomas
Hunter S Thompson
Charles Bukowski
Ernest Hemmingway
Christopher Marlowe
Lord Byron (Don Juan)
Sylvester Stallone
etc

It's considered gay to be a writer these days I agree. I will certainly do my best to put real men back on the writing map though.

Having said that lyricists such as:

Tupac
Ice Cube
Ice-T
Eminem
etc were the epitome of manliness so it depends who you're calling a writer.
