"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.

So I'll try to summarize this story to not make it long winded...

Met a girl for drinks off of POF... She was 37.. Anyway she was semi attractive maybe like a 7.. So we go up to the bar, I order a beer and she orders a glass of wine. We talk for a bit and it seems like its going ok.... but then I could tell she lost interest at some point and because of her sudden break in conversation and her non reception to kino I also lost interest. She said had a lot of work to get done and had to get going soon (obvious sign of disinterest). She drank about half her wine and I asked her if she was going to finish. She said she was good and wasn't going to finish it.

So the check comes and its about 7 dollars for my beer and 10 dollars for her glass of wine.

Me: Ok, so we'll just split this
Her: oh I didn't go to the ATM machine today, I don't have any money sorry.
Me: That's ok, I'll wait I'm sure there's one close by
Her: Well its a date the guy is supposed to pay
Me: This didn't really work out
Her: I know but still the guy is supposed to pay
Me: I'll have the bartender give us 2 separate checks

Me: (calls bartender) give us 2 separate checks please, 1 for my beer and 1 for her wine

Her: No we aren't doing 2 separate checks... I'm leaving goodbye

So she ends up walking out of the place and leaving. I told the bartender I would only pay for my beer and thats what I did...


True story......
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Eastern Time Zone where it's always really late
Translation: I was looking for some cawk to satisfy my cougar desire to prove I still got it. But early on during the date, I realized that you didn't make my Virgina tingle. Thus, I'm gonna bail early. Even though I'm a working professional woman making my own $$$, since you failed to turn me on, you must pay the penalty, ie the cost of the entire date. After all, it's YOUR fault my cooter doesn't like you lol. I don't really have work to do later. I'm gonna go home to my 50 Shaydes book and vibrator. I'm tired of p of. I'm sick of the fake profile male model guys that spam me and then flake lol.

OP: Yes, women are getting worse. Anyway I'm glad you stuck to your guns.

Really brutal OP. The self entitlement is strong in that one.

Glad you held strong and didn't pay.

The funny thing is you know she went home and complained to all of her gf's about what a cheap guy and bad date you were. And she will feel totally justified in her assertions.


Ridiculous.

Thanks, I'm glad I did too. I am just astounded by her sense of entitlement. I mean this girl really thought I was supposed to pay even though the "date" (I thought of it more as a meet as I don't date unless I like someone) didn't go well.... Like it was the law.. I mean this girl really believed this.

What is more scary is I felt that if this scene escalated further the bar/restaurant would side with her and say I actually had too... thats how feminized this society is becoming... I hope to God that wouldn't be the case but I feel like women get sided with more than guys

Well done on not paying for hers. I can honestly say Ive never had that done to me and Id be livid it ever it did.
 

"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.

I would have flipped my **** if that happened to me. You can only do so much in that situation which sucks. You handled it well.

LOL this story cracks me up.


I have never had that happen to me before, ever. But good on you for not paying. You should even had provided the bar her name and contact information.

You know I actually thought of this after the fact.... the one silver lining is that she picked this place as she frequents it often.. maybe next time she goes in the bartender will remember her...

I did send her a text afterwards "lol I can see why you are close to 40 and still single"

Probably unnecessary but one of my trademarks :)

wow what a dumb ****..

gotta give you props for handling that properly.

I wonder how many schmucks she's used that line on successfully

"Her: Well its a date the guy is supposed to pay"

^^ the decline of our civilization summed up perfectly right there
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I agree that a woman shouldn't arrive at a date with zero cash, or lie about it just so she doesn't have to pay.

But the real question, OP, is: what went wrong during the date? Sometimes two people just don't get along. But I'm not sure I've ever had a date end that badly.

Don't blame "women" for that bad date.

There should be a law that requires waiters to bring a separate bill for each person at the table. If you want to cover somebody else bill, fine; but it shouldn't be an automatic assumption.

The judge commends you for having a f**kin' spine! :up:

Sorry to hear about the bad experience though. Glad you didn't give into this "princess's" demands.

Now if only more men started doing this...
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Ha I bet you wouldn't have cared so much if she decided she liked you and wanted to go home with you.

It sucks but it was only $10, making her goto an ATM for $10 shows how much of a scab you are lol, I would of been more turned of by this! However that's nothing, try losing $150 to a chick who decides at the end she isn't into you after leading you on. You got off cheap but have lost her fo good

"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.
