"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.

Hey all,

My brother is 17 years old (gonna be a senior in high school), still lives at home, doesn't have a driver's license or a cell phone. He's at the stage right now where he's trying to get some action. He says he's relatively popular at school. He's a pretty athletic and doesn't seem to have issues meeting girls.

He's always asking me for advice on how to close the deal with chics. I'm not sure what to tell him as he's at a severe disadvantage because he's still living at home, can't drive, etc. I've always told him to focus on improving himself. In my experience, if you're attractive and confident you really shouldn't have problems getting women.

I think I'm gonna refer him to the DJ bible and some of the other resources available on this site.

Any other suggestions on how to advise him?
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Is it abnormal for 17-year-olds to still be living at home in Canada?

In America, kids aren't considered grown until they're at least 18 and graduated from high school. Moving out at 17 is almost unheard of.

Not abnormal by any means. I didn't move out til I was 21. I just don't know how to advise him because our situations are so different right now.

I didn't really start getting laid regularly til I moved out.

I think it would be easier to advise him on situation by situation.

Is he asking for advice "in general"?

If so, you are saying the right things. And refer him to the DJ Bible. Just tell him not to get caught up in the SS Matrix. ;)
