"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 felt bad because I got grumpy with some random chick. I think I might have yelled because I was upset about something that was really trivial. She was just the checkout girl. She was calm, but I felt so bad about it afterwards.

So next time I see her, I am SUPER friendly. "How are you doing today?" I say with a big smile. "huh?" "I said how are you today?"

"Oh! I thought you said 'it's you again!'

I start laughing. She had thought she had done something to upset me and I didn't want to see her again. Anyway, she seems really sad, so I keep chatting with her until she smiles.

Anyway, what turned me on is how vulnerable she seemed. She didn't blame me for the incident, but herself instead. Anyway, she's got a big wedding ring she rocks, but I'll still be friendly and flirt with her, cuz I like her!
 

"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.

You boys need to override your instincts to protect women it will lead to "captain save a ho" as it's called here. It is OK to help someone who is drowning etc. BUT, trying to save a woman from trouble of her own making? It is in our nature to ride up on the white horse to save the day,but when you get that idea, shoot your horse,BBQ it,buy some beer and invite your friends over. They will appreciate it more than the woman will and it will cost you less in money and emotions.

Ha,ha,this is funny...and also true at the same time.

Buy,I'm doling out the reps tonight.

"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.

Kody raised a very good point and SODBUSTER, everyone was quoting you how can I miss out the fun. LOL.

Good post. Some actually do it on purpose, in fact many of them. So don't fall for it.

Wow and I've never eaten horse meat before, is it good?
