"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.

True or false? Just being happy and outgoing attracts females towards you?
 

"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.

No, it doesnt attract women, but it is an attractive trait, because its usually means you're suceesful (got enough money, have a good job, can handle problems easily etc). Its defintly more attracting than being sad.

The thing you mean is probably confidence, not hapiness

I think they mean both. You can have confidence but be in a normally angered state or perhaps you have a "lack" in your life whether money, opportunities, etc...

It will be more attractive to be confident AND have a good life where you don't have a lack, and you are generally actually happy because you are living so well.

They will want a piece of this too especially if they don't have it on their own.

The keyword here is outgoing--of course that's going to increase your opportunities to meet a woman who's attracted to you. And being happy will allow more people into your life, some of whom will be women that may or may not be attracted to you.

But as far as innate attraction, I don't think happiness matters at all--as long as you don't burden other people with your negative emotions. I'm more of the dark, brooding, quiet type; no issues here, still have to approach, but I let the girl invest in my world if they want any meaningful access; and keep them working for those moments when I am happy--and there's something to be said for that as far as frame control and intermittent reward. Plus I don't have to put in effort to keep up my state or keep them entertained. If you're the 'happy' guy how is she going to react when you hit a rough patch? How do you maintain congruence in that kind of situation?

If you're going to walk around disillusioned and mopey all day you had better be a hell of an artist or musician
 

"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.

Happiness is probably more attractive than sadness in general. So a happy person, all else being equal, will probably be more attractive. But all else is certainly not equal. It's not nearly that simple. There's plenty of sad people who have attractive personalities, and happy people who are just the opposite. Other factors have to be considered. Some people here have brought up confidence. That is definitely a big one to consider.

Exactly.

Ask yourself this. Would you rather be happy and unattractive, or unhappy and attractive?

If you answered unhappy and attractive, you probably... aren't very smart.

Just sayin.

Happiness attracts women as long as they've got an interest in you.

Hell, everything attracts women as long as they have an interest in you!

Happiness is a result of how you're doing. If you're doing good then you'll feel good and act good. That's the real test here from women, to determine wether you're mostly like that or they just happen to catch you on a good day. That's the congruency test. You could have a brief period of happiness and women may become attracted to that in the belief you do good things, that's what they're really after. However if you sink back down in a short time as your reality comes smashing down they leave, because the truth about you would be that you don't have it as good as you acted.

So sure, happiness attracts them, that's not the hard part. You'll attract them and then eventually lose them. The real challenge is to create and sustain happiness for yourself, because that will keep them attracted forever. You won't be happy just out of nothing and so you will not attract women out of nothing. Happiness comes from work towards being happy and being attractive is a result of it.

Basically it means if you put your time and energy into making yourself happy you'll attract women.

Men who know what they want, who believe in themselves, and have the will to go after it an stick to it are attractive to women.

Men who are happy, good looking, and rich have certain advantages, and long as you are authentically one or more of those is a definite plus, but none of that really matters if you can not use those traits to improve your sociability. A good looking rich guy will eventually fail with women, if the guys is a @ss and no one likes him. A man that has lots of friends and people who like and respect him will always win out.... happy does not always mean that.

A really happy guy that loves his life watching porn and playing Xbox is not going to be attractive to women.

Study up on the concept of "emotional contagion". Happiness is a huge advantage with initial attraction because she will feel what you feel.
