"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.

Guys, I've got a confidence problem now.

I recently Pulled an hb9 from Plentyoffish, and we're supposed to meet this week for dinner. Here's my problem: I had help in writing my responses (emails) to her from a highly intelligent alpha. I wrote verbatim what he told me, and BAM! she gave me her # email, and is belittling herself for messing up our original plans. I believe that she sh!t-tested (other plans), then says that she got her dates mixed up, and can now meet as planned.

I did not write any of this stuff. It was very concisely put, intelligently worded. Simplicity, like a lawyer.

Anyway, I guess I have to CALL her tomorrow because she left me her digits, so, how do I feign being smart now?? What do I do?

The pics are mine, of ME. The words are not!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Well maybe you could get a sense of the mentality the other guy had that worked from the emails to use as a guide. What did the emails say anyway?

Wait, there are HB9s on PlentyOffFish? I thought that's a haven for fat crazy birds?

funny thing is, this is how i learned. i used to text verbatim or respond exactly the way my mentor told me to. I did this so much his methods just rubbed off on me. I used to just sit back and think of exactly what he would say to me and how he would say it if i couldn't get in contact with him.

Try that out if you can.
 

"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.

Well I called, no answer, left a bumbling message, but recovered and made it though about 20 seconds.

Then an hour later, just now, she called, and went through with the date. She sounds like my ex-oneitis in voice tone, chirpiness.

Really a nice girl for her petite blonde-haired blue-eyed look. No shield so far.

Most online dating is looks based. If she likes the way you look, you really can't mess up unless you talk too much. Just don't say a whole lot and try to get her into the bedroom as fast as you can like the Gingerbread Man.
 

"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.
