"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.

Female Competitiveness

So, women like to compete with each other for a guy. At some point, one of the girls is going to be upset that the guy isn't as into her, and will be jealous of the attention the other girl is getting. She won't want any more contact between him and the other girl.

Apparently, this is the basis for new friendships between women.

My question is, if the newly befriended girl is interested in the guy already, how much of an influence will the jealous girl be on her? Can they be talked out of their interest, or is the competition so obvious that she may even be more attracted to the guy?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

poorly worded, but a very good question. This type of c0ckblocking has probably affected me recently, altho it's impossible to know for sure.

i'll await the thoughts of others on what strategies to employ.

How necessery is it to say it's poorly worded man? You say it's a good question, thanks for that. Someone else will see it and think "coudn't have said it better myself".

Drama is BS, but frankly I know some chicks are going to be talking **** and I want to know how to counter-act it, or if I even need to.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If a chick can influence another chick in losing interest in you, that chick wasn't that into you to begin with.

Don't try to counter-act or get into the whole female mindset and worry about what they are doing. Your time should be spend in increasing the interest level's of the chick you are interested in and not worry about the rest.

You're right, I figure if a chick is so easily influenced, then she's not worth my time anyway.

I'll work on not letting this crap get to me. Serves no purpose.

That's nice to say and there is some truth to it, but we all know that in reality, c0ckblocking can seriously f*ck up your game. A chick can be into you pretty well, but if there's someone opposed to your seduction, they often can get in the way pretty effectively.

I agree that there may be no true solution in this situation, tho.
