"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.

Happy Thanksgiving 2025 Sosuave!

I'm currently in South East Asia with my parents right now, taking care of business and working at their Hotel that they own. But I do know that it's Thanksgiving over there and I just want to wish you all a happy Turkey day brothers. Eat some of that stuffing, greenbean casserole and mac and cheese for me lol.

Theres probably a few bars and pubs open tonight, so why don't you do yourself a favor and go watch a movie in the theaters tonight for me and probably hit up a Denny's or an Ihop with the guys afterwards tonight. That sounds like a plan to me.
 

"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.

If you live in The US, there should be food banks around that always give something out during the Holidays. That's one benefit of living in a 'first class' country like America, there always passing out freebies to its citizens during special times. I suggest you do some volunteering yourself man and go to a homeless shelter and pass out some good vibes or something.

You are deflecting.

Im coming back exactly on Christmas Day in the evening. Im still on summer mode out here in South East Asia because of the weather, that may change within the next few days when Im freezing my butt off over there. I have a lot of errands to pull off, I wanna knock them out first before I start having fun and start spending time at Cigar Pubs and Coffee shops.
