"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.

Ill try my best to explain this. This may sound pretty bad and self-centered, but do you ever have a conversation with people and you just dont give a f*ck what theyre saying? Say you meet someone you havent seen in a year or so, and your asking them a bunch of questions about their life. Than if you walked away, five minutes later you probably wouldnt remember a thing they said to you. I feel like ,while theyre talkiing, im just preparing what im going to say next, and not even listening to what theyre saying. Im thinking people usually catch on to this. If i was telling someone about my life, i would hope theyre listening and give a damn about what i say. Kind of a double standard i have. Maybe alot of people feel like this, and it comes down to the saying people only care about themselves. Can anyone relate?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

yah read that crimson, i agree with most of it. This topic also reminds me of Fight Club, where tyler says people only listen to what he has to say, when hes at the meetings with people who are going to die. Usually people just wait for their turn to speak.

I work as a bank teller, so im constantly talking to people every minute a new person. It gets really tiring pretending to be nice to people, and asking how their days going.
