"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.

Just like it reads. Just been bummed out even though I'm crushing it in my job. I've pretty much got rid of the plates I was spinning as I just don't see any future with them so that kind of compounds loneliness. One was a smoking hot total nut which made me miserable and literally made me question my own sanity. I spent WAY too much time f*cking around with her. My best buddy is wifed up and spends all his time with his chick now. It feels as though that for the last while, I have been focusing my attention in the wrong directions instead of on myself or positive things. Like I've taken the wrong path? Now that I don't have much but myself until I move back to the city, I suddenly feel - irrelevant on my own? Dunno. Few years back I was a slaying life/chicks/ socially. Now at 29 I'm a bit lost in direction... Feel as though I've gotten comfortable in the wrong position. Any input? Or guidence older bros?

Happens to all of us bro. It's probably just a phase.

We slayed girls when we were younger and were at our social peak. We say things like "I should have focused more on my finances/business..."

We slayed the corporate world or built a business. We say things like "I should have been more social and built my network and slayed these girls..."

Have some whiskey and wait until tomorrow comes.

Self improvement man.


I'm 31 and I can tell you alot of positive love and contentment can come as a gift from yourself to yourself. You can find that inner happiness and then everything else is secondary. Love yourself, focus on self improvement, and recognize that your negative emotions are your inner selfs way of asking for help. As you give yourself the needed time and attention you will start to feel a great sense of peace.

Get as jacked/athletic/warrior/combat mode as possible..become your best self in all aspects. Start with the physical which will influence the mental and feed your spiritual.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Your best buddy sounds like he's gone.

Get some male friends. It might take some time but stick it out.

It's crazy but I would say at least half of the male problems would be solved here if the guy had male buddies. You got to have mates pal, it's fundamental

Truth, pal. Especially in this day and age when so many men are abandoning each other when they need each other the most. It's like men nowadays don't like to admit that they want to be friends with each other.

It's a constant struggle for me to find fellow guys to hang out with it, that aren't total betas or bobble-heads.

If you feel like one it's because you're letting yourself feel like one. You need to reframe your thoughts by asking why you think that way. It doesn't sound like it's an accurate description of reality from what you posted. So why do you think that? You have control over what you think and feel, but it's a muscle you have to exercise.
