"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.

I don't know if this is something that generally happens to good, or better, looking guys... But I have a minor theory (or off-shoot of a theory) that a select percentage of girls who recognize you as being attractive (and thus worth entertaining), will try to project this Good Girl aura so as to try to persuade you into thinking that is who they are, which is not accurate.

They've read Cosmo so many times that they think by projecting this false Good Girl Image we may fall in love and live happily ever after. Well, for guys like me, that's a recipe for disaster. Why? Because I have a high sex drive. And this typical "holding off" of sex and other uninhibited sexual encounters, so as to stay congruent with a Good Girl Image, leads me (the person with options) frustrated with the fact that the girl I'm dating is trying this on me. It feels disingenuous and desperate. So not only do I not get the sex that could be enjoyed but I'm also dealing with a manipulative personality.

Is this typical of most women? It's a broader interpretation of the Anti-Slut Defense and would fall in line with the dual/conflicting schedules of mating Rollo has talked about (and makes perfect sense).

I'm leaning toward it being typical... Anyone skilled enough to know how to handle this successfully? It just seems so... Dirty. Impure. False.
 

"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.

while shes trying to make you wait for sex, be banging a couple of other chics on the side. when she wonders why your not so hard up for her...she might get the message that you have options.

I figured that was the only remedy.

But is it naive to think that there are a lot of girls out there that don't play "this" game? Is this behavior typical?
