"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.

Its almost Halloween, last time to see cleavage in much of the northern hemisphere until spring and everyone's drunk. Its the best time to hook up before New Year's Eve and it helps to have an awesome costume.

Last year I was a stereotypical Italian like the ones I saw while in Italy that summer (you know, think Silvio Berlusconi and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZLh3tc_pk4). (Sorry Italians, nothing against you, its just that if you're a Caucasian its okay to stereotype you, feel flattered). It worked. I got into a fight and won it and I hooked up with the best looking available female there. I just really got into character and it worked. I'm usually not like that. I felt like Michael Cera's character in Youth in Revolt.

I need to find a new Halloween costume for this year but I don't want to be the same thing or just be some other Southern European or Latin culture filled with a machismo most Northern Europeans and Northern European-based cultures (like the US) would find... inappropriate?

Any Halloween characters that are funny that could get you some action? Dracula was a ladysman, but he is undead and Halloween costumes that are actually scary just creep women out. My Transylvanian accent sucks too.

Any ideas?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I went dressed as 'swine flu' one year.

Pink sweat pants/shirt, pig nose/ears and wrote h1n1 across the shirt. Simple, cheap & def a hit with the other party goers.

Just look at pop culture & current events... endless well of ideas.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Something lighthearted and funny.

Last year I was the Swedish Chef (Muppets character) and I was approached by several women telling me they loved the costume.

1) Dress up in your best clothes. Get your hair cut and look and smell your best. Wear your best cologne.

2) Take a piece of styrofoam and cut it to shape it like a magnet. Spray paint it silver and the tips black.

3) Buy some Yellow Peeps and glue them all over your magnet.

4) Make a rope chain or something to wear it around your neck


You are a "Chick Magnet" for Halloween.


You can walk around or go to a party and take pictures with all the girls around you and post it on FB for that "social proof" everyone craves these days!

"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.

If you never wear a suit and tie, wearing that on Halloween is an off-the-wall costume. Tell them you're a businessman.

The professor (sport coat, bow tie, glasses and carrying a ruler) and schoolgirl gets a lot of "That is sick" comments.

I'm often told I look like Dave Mathews, Peter Gibbons from Office Space, and Tom Hanks. Would it be a bad idea to be one of them? I sort of see it, but I am told this a lot. What do you all think about that?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
