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.
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.
Yeah sure and the guy that got robbed and killed clearly needed to spend more time in the shooting range...criminality in his town has no role in his death nor in his family to move abroad.More likely tells you how out of shape the guys are, how unwilling they are to actually work on themselves or how they don't bother learning anything to improve their abilities in that realm.
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.
Your argument is true in itself, but the example you picked with China is the opposite of what you wanted because China's gender ratio is significantly more skewed than Australia's, at least according to what you can find "officially" on google. There has got to be some other reason why those guys can date much easier in Shanghai than Australia.Look at the gender ratio, if it's like here in Australia where young men significantly outnunber women then you know there are problems.
An aussie man can go abroad and date a woman several points above him, I know a few guys who went to Shanghai and were dating wealthy and good looking Chinese girls.
Aussie women here wouldn't even give them the time of the day, I'm not saying men here are entitled to women but there is something very wrong with the gender dynamics in Australia.
It is way too skewed, with the amount if hoops men have to jump through just to get a date.
These are creating a lot of social problems in our youth, and society at large continues to ignore this.
It's not just Australia that's like that. UK, Canada and USA are very similar in that regard. All of those countries are culturally similar, which is not a coincidence.Aussie women here wouldn't even give them the time of the day, I'm not saying men here are entitled to women but there is something very wrong with the gender dynamics in Australia.
Well said, this is so true.If the women are wrapped in burkas then you can pretty much tell "dating' in those cultures is sort of fvcked.
All kidding aside. Northern European (which also includes the US, Canada and Australia) culture spoils women with attention. We give our attention without reciprocity... and this spoils them. Spoiled children misbehave.
During this Covid-19 pandemic the news is filled with stories of women crying on TV because their men are sick and dying. We care more about the women who are crying on TV about their lost pack mules then we do about the men that have died, or are suffering on ventilators. This is our culture... nothing you can do about it.
I don't know of anyone from outside the USA - aside from the "2 wild & crazy guys" from Saturday Night Live - that goes to the USA to find a woman.Just look at how many men from given city, culture, or country tend to travel the most to other countries for sex, dating, and *****.

10 years from now we will have the first economical conseguences of a huge chunk of males going mgtow, basically cutting their own spending and leaving a certain amount of women unable to provide for themselves.Western culture and is based around a women’s needs and values. Men should marry women and legally commit to them. Society frowns on single men, they are too dangerous, too unstable for society, they need to be locked down to serve a woman.
If the alphas got all women and the betas couldn’t get any women, how catastrophic would that be for society? It wouldn’t grow and there would be anarchy. So in marriage you have a binding contract where the male is legally required to take care of a women and satisfy her needs for the rest of his life. This is good for society, women taken care of by men.
Western culture is not suited for family and marriage. Any man who is looking for it in 2020 is risking his mental health and financial well being.
You clearly have never been to Australia or New Zealand.Canada = worst of all the western countries
Canadian women are absolutely bottom barrel of all the western women.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
