"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.

For those who have had the honor of already being fathers.
Do you act like idiots in the presence of small children, making faces or making little voices like you do with dogs?

I see this very often, I can't understand if it is appropriate behavior.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

May I suggest you do some babysitting sometime? Good practice

Why do you care if you do not have one?

I personally require neither offspring of my own, nor the presence of someone else's wee bairns and lasses to do so


"I see this very often, I can't understand if it is appropriate behavior"

In comparison to

-Yanking a newborn girl from her mother's arms, roasting DD over a fire pit like a cannibal lua, then devouring the infant, while her mums watches on, distraught and helpless

-Slicing a 3 year old boy's pants and Iron Man underooos off his body with a Bowie knife, bending him over, then going to town without the benefit of lube, whilst livestreaming this event for the entire planet's enjoyment





Yeah, making faces and silly voices is exceptionally benign behavior

It isn’t probably a good move if you have to force it bc you will come off like a pedophile. If you have a lot of experience and you genuinely feel warm to kids go ahead - but be sure you understand what you’re doing. Also why the question, are you trying to get with a MILF?
 

"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.

I have never done this with my children or our dog.

Que???

Ofcourse you'll be making silly faces. A child goes through an entire process , where different behaviours are used take them "feel good". Fesmall.to bigg3r child 6o teenageer to adolescent to grown man / woman. And at some point you'll be a grandfather and the process repeats itself, knowing its YOUR bloodline. You might not even grow old and see that baby become a man / woman.


This my friend, are the things we need as humans to let go of that enteral " Dirty Harry-Terminator- esque mask. That mask by the way is the REAL burden: being unable to be oneself is the real pain of life.

I don't understand why if someone asks a question you assume 100% that person has some shortcomings in that area.

And not that they do it in a genuine way to want to know more.

I have 3 nephews, so I've always had this thing having seen men become "little girls" with children, while others, still be cold and indifferent.

I never understood, from the perspective of a child, what it means to know someone act that way and the other way around.

Also, what women usually think about when men behave in a certain way?

Do you recall nothing from your own childhood? Were your parents cold and stoic and unemotional? Babies learn and bond from non verbal interactions with parents and others.

So this is normal behavior.

Borrow your nephews and take them for ice cream. Be playful & interact with them. Best wing you can have as a single man is a little kid. Women will open you & chat with you.
