"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.

Between running errands, the gym, co-workers and their relatives, etc., I have been getting hit on by a lot of women that I am not interested in. Some combination of their looks and situation has me close any and all doors - slammmmmmmmmmm.

Today was ridiculous as I had one making the most obvious lay up comments towards me from the second I saw her. I hadn't seen her in weeks. If I had interest, I would have countered 'ha - blah, blah, blah, no it's not like that. Wednesday night we're doing x and you'll see' or whatever. But I just carried on and took off 'Enjoy the rest of your weekend!' lol.

And another situation where I am at a bar thinking 'ok, you're kinda cute, you've already shown me cards in a major way, but I see your sister everyday at the office and I don't want to deal with that' type thing. If I was gonna go for it, I wouldn't have sat there as I did.

Thanks to this joint and working on my skills, I see all sorts of opportunities more clearly and am dialed in as they throw out their advances. I have been actively shutting sh1t down to those I am not interested in. Much more attractive girls to me are either not advancing in the same way, not advancing as much, doing it more subtley, or I don't act with top game with them as well as I should because I am blinded.

I am very aggressive now and will move fast with an 'I don't give a fvck attitude', but in these situations I proceed like I am oblivious or not even try out of this lack of interest. I probably come off like a completely clueless AFC as they figure I am just not catching on to their game. I want to get through these situations and walk away with more street cred not less.

The worst is that most times when this is happening, I flash back to women that I was super amp'd on and things just didn't work out and I just think 'DAMN IT - why couldn't it played out more like this with her'. Come to think of it, maybe I telegraph this in my response and expression from time to time - a major chip on my shoulder. 'Yeah, I get it, but I've had/gone for much more striking than you and I don't give a fvck'.

So my question is... you guys doing this???? Maybe I should be stepping up to the plate and gaming around - max out with a bunch of plates I'm really not too stoked with. It would probably better position me for when I run into the next alluring goddess in my life. Thanks.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

There was a girl in one of my classes who was pretty hot and liked me. I ran into her one day at the library, flirted a bit and she really wanted to come back to my apartment with me. Then I found out that she had 2 kids and a fiancee who was currently in a coma.

My excuse? I looked at the clock and said I had to get going. Didn't even say bye...
