"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.
Does a girl have to be totally single to ask her out?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

That's what I'm thinking. It's not like single girls wear bright neon signs announcing their availability. Attractive females don't stay single long. The boundaries I won't cross are living together or engaged. I met this chick who's my type through and through, and we really hit it off. The funny thing is, I was just whining about black girls aren't my type and she's black. But she can pass for a white girl.
lol
Any man here needs to look at it from the perspective of what you want.nonameok said:
I believe that if you are looking for a relationship with a girl, then there's a certain line you should never cross with her if she's in a relationship (whether it be just a boyfriend or she's married). ALWAYS remember that if she crosses that line with YOU, she'll cross that line with someone else while WITH you. You don't want a relationship with a girl like that.
But, if you're just looking to get laid, then a girl who has a boyfriend is fair game. I still wouldn't advise going after married women, because that's way too much drama/work/headache just to get a piece of a$$.

true...Kupid Diggs said:
and i disagree fully with the idea that if a woman leaves a guy to be with you (or cheats), that she will do it to you. in most cases - these women are dating AFCs. i've seen it debated on if you should let a girl complain about her BF to you (you don't want to become an emotional tampon, etc) - but i really find value in listening to them (to use a pua nerd term - i like to 'elicit value' from their complaints of current or former boyfriends)... and if you listen to their complaints - you can normally understand why she's not happy with what she has (and then feed it back to her like it was your idea)...
in the strange event she is dating someone alpha who knows what he's doing - then yes, there is no hope for her!... but most women who cheat just aren't happy with the neediness, the protectieness, or the boringness of the man they're dating...

"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.

'game' doesn't have a whole lot to do with what i'm talking about... most AFC who find out their girl cheated on them - TAKE THE GIRLS BACK! because their idiots who believe in things such as "forgiving those i've given my heart to". most girls who cheat don't have a huge fear of losing the guy their with, or they don't care if they lose the guy their with.... getting a girl who's with a man who knows what he's doing - is MUCH MUCH harder than getting a girl who's with an AFC (because she genuinely doesn't want to lose him)... it's like a house without a security system (AFC house) vs. a house with a security system (DJ house). a professional thief will see the one with the secutiry system as being too much trouble. they'll only go into the house if they think the risk is worth the reward (and often they can find a house without a security system to enter that has similar goods).Trajhenkhet01 said:
