"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.

"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.

As much of a d!ck as you may think he is, I'm kinda with Obsidian on this one. Whats the point of asking an internet forum (filled with dudes, no less) if you you're good looking or not?

Don't get me wrong, we all sometimes wonder exactly where we are on the looks scale; but you can't let a few slvt buckets bring you down. If you're gonna be a DJ, you're gonna need thicker skin than that.

Hey CJ, I think you look pretty handsome actually, lift weights hard for the next couple years and you will be a mack truck. You've got plenty of time man, just have fun and learn!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

The kid is 16. The guy needs to give the kid a break. I don't know about you, but I was pretty mixed up at that age.

The appropriate response to his thread was that he is a decent looking guy and shouldn't be freaking out about his appearance, because the OP is above-average in the looks department, even though he does look a little bit like O-dog. The advice about not caring about your looks is worth taking, but you don't have to be an a$$ with the way in which you give it.

It's amazing how people get on the Internet where their without an identity and they act like complete jerk-offs.

nah dude, you're a good-looking guy.

and i'm not gay!

if anything your looks should be an asset-- but looks are only one factor in the equation! Make the big money, throw in some negs, and the girls will follow!!! ha ha... but seriously, forget about what some insecure bltch mighta told you.

Another female opinion; you are good looking.

Secondly looks only gets you so far, after a certain point your personality is what keeps/gets her interested. Haven't you seen all these below average looking guys with pretty females??

Im worried about something. Sure i can make my inner self better and im much more confident around girls, but theres a big problem. Im confused if im ugly or not. Many people called me this when i was younger. I don't know what to do about, because there is nothing i can do. I have crooked teeth and a big nose, and thats the 2 worse things i could find about myself. Now what, am i suppose to give up on talking to girls now. Im not trying to sound gay by asking. But do you guys think im hopeless. These are my pictures. One girl online said i needed plastic surgery.

Mate you have an african american nose, be proud...and my teeth are more crooked than that and I don't have a problem.

Seriously man...its your ATTITUDE thats the problem: you could have been a LOT worse looking, I'd say you're at least a little bit above average. If you still think the way you are doing now, then your inner game isn't fixed btw: work on that.
 

"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.
