"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Guys, if the girl says that she doesn't want to exchange gifts for valentines day do you still go and get her a gift anyways. I'm told yes by friends but I'd like some advice on the boards and possibly some suggestions on what a good gift for this occasion would be.

Thanks in advance!
 

"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.

Yes, you need to get her something. Remember the money you spend is worthless. Most likely she would prefer something that made you think of her than something expensive. I had a gf for whom I wanted to but climbing gear so she could climb with me, but I decided aginst it because I thought it would never be used. I told her later and she said that would have been the sweetest idea ever even is she never used it. Women are weird.:p

No.

All your friends that have told you that its a good idea are either girls or AFC's.

Dont know why you would want to waste money in the first place, but if she is the one suggesting it then definitely dont buy. It'll make her go 'aww thats so sweet' and pat you on the head like a puppy dog. Thats not the reaction you should be aiming for lol.

Buy her a disco stick :p

No, don't buy her anything but do something fun with her. It doesn't have to be something expensive either.

No, don't let women get away with this bullcrap.

No means no, remember?

I've never purchased a Valentines gift or card in my life. Having said that, I am very generous about getting her things or taking her out if she's been doing the right things and earned it.

I don't do "planned" events in general, in fact, I don't like the attitude of entitlement it tends to engender. I'm huge on unplanned rewards for ongoing good behavior though.

I give her the gift of fun on V-Day. If fun isn't enough for her, she can go.

This all depends on what your relationship with her is. With my LTR gfs we are always doing fun things so I get her something meaningful but inevpensive. I do favor activity related gifts though. If you do anything major for a non LTR then yes, AFC move. If she is a LTR gf and you want to keep her, different story.
