2nded. Because there is a seemingly low probability they wont even try. Thats the correlation I was trying to show with cold approaches and marriage...stand said:
"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.

I want to get married because I want to be the father figure of a functional family unit. The failure rate of marriages has largely to do with people who make really bad marital decisions. Sometimes, they just fail because of things beyond either spouses' control. It's a chance I'm willing to take.
Getting married just so you can have sex is the dumbest thing I've ever heard though. If you're christian, I'd suggest you commit a serious sin and have sex with someone RATHER THAN marry just for a sexual encounter, cause in the end, the latter would bring even more anguish.

F**k having kids. Just want to be rich and famous and then get a girlfriend. My game sucks ass right now, but once I get successful it's going into high gear.armadon said:

Even the ones that do "work" will get to be routine and boring. I agree with the philosopht that no-one except yourself can make you happy except yourself.

Note the author's disclaimer. The gent makes a few interesting points. At a minimum, I found it to be an interesting read.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
