"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.

Talking to different people, I've found that many people are like myself where my parents have heavy expectations on what I should do with my life and career. Just wondering how everybody else's life is like and what your suggestions are.

.............................................................................

Firstly, this should be in the "AE" forum.

Secondly, in response to the poll, My parents have always been behind me in all my decisions. They will give their opinion and give me their point of view etc, and then leave the final decision to me. If they don’t like MY decision, then its just too bad... I'm living MY life... not theirs;)

My parents are prob one of the most laid back parents in the world. I never put expectations on me. They let me do what i went when i want all the time. They give me advice and are always honest with me on thier opinion. However they never force it. I am always honest with my parents. I tell them stuff that other people wouldnt dare tell there parents. Eg. I told my mum that I started smoking weed. She didnt catch me or me keeping a secert. I just told em.....Same with everything.


Pushy parents really do my head in...Esp when they are the parents of the girl im gaming :mad:

My parents are not laid back like that.
 

"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.
