"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

I'm 29, a professional that has done well in my career, though I'm not rich by any means. The girl I've been dating since Oct is 28. We see each other about 1X or 2X a week. What type of gift would you recommend I get her for Valentine's Day? I'm not cheap, so money isn't the concern, it's just getting the appropriate type thing for her. Any suggestions?

And I'm not AFC, have not bought her any type of gift, flowers, etc... until this point.
 

"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.

Make it mean something since it's valentines.

I make it a point not to buy anything for a plate except for her birthday. On Valentine's day my gift to my first place plate will be a get-away weekend. My gift to my runner-ups will be to continue seeing them.

Keep your FRAME.
 

"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.

Pretend that you're getting castrated in the morning.

Now go wild with her in bed.

That's the best gift you can give her.

You haven't told us yet how tight you are with this chick. What do "dating" and "seeing" mean in YOUR OWN words?
For a lot of us, those words mean next-to-nothing. Too many of us have learned that even "sleeping" with a chick can mean NO $ex! If you're having $ex every time you get together, it means a lot more than just meeting up to go shopping or walking her dog. This chick is special, or at least she thinks she is. In that case, go all out for her.
I don't go by "The Rules", generally, but the Rule about gift-giving makes total sense: Special occasion gifts shall be frivolous and romantic, not sporty or functional.
I've worked for this lovely talented dame for more than ten years, we've "dated" a few times, no $ex. She's done more for my career than just about anyone, so that makes her special. I'm not going wild, but I'm getting her a book about rescued dogs along with a bunch of flowers.
She once told me, I don't need to bring her flowers, which I do for no special occasion. I asked her, "Who else brings you flowers?" Um, nobody, apparently.

I'm getting the girl I would like to get naked a bag of GREEN M&Ms, a funny card, and 2 Purple Roses. Inside the card is going to be a print out of the song "Dirty Mind" from Prince.

good grief, either i'm so unromantic or old or i dunno what...
but on valentines, i just don't like the crowds when you try to go out.
last year, gio called up chilis and gave them our order and he picked it up, and i made sure there were fresh brownies and cookies and cupcakes ... we had the best time camped out in front of a movie in our very own house.

no need for the little trinkets that later collect dust, or flowers that die in a week....

Give her a box of chocolates, a CD, take her to a spa or whatever those places are to get a massage... Or like selfmademob said; a d!ck in the box.

My girlfriend and her friends have boycotted valentines day (even though all of them are dating someone. They think that it is an over hyped holiday)

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.
