"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Hey, I've been out of the whole DJ mentality for the last few months because of work and girlfriend. I've mostly lost contact with my friends and am not very used to socializing with people so much anymore. I thought a good way to get back in the swing of things and reestabslih myself in social circles would be to throw a party.

I'm thinking of having it next Friday and having it Mardi Gras themed.

Keep these things in mind:

I'll be having it at my apartment which can't hold any more than 13 people so it will be relatively small.

The people I'll be inviting will be people I don't know very well or have lost contact with. So I don't want to plan anything too outrageous.

The people that will be coming are not big partiers. So again, nothing too outrageous. (This includes the whole bead thing. Not that I would be against it, but I'm not going to be the first to suggest it)

My "girlfriend" will be there. And while I don't intend on marrying her, I don't want to do anything to create problems with that.

The average age of everyone there will be about 21 or 22

I'm planning on just inviting about everyone who I have still listed on my phone. Most probably won't come, but since I can only hold about 13 people that should work out.

I'm planning on finding 2 or 3 mixed drink recipes in addition to supplying plenty of beer. Probably food too, any suggestions?

The only decent party game I can find is beer pong. What else might be a good game for a group of strangers?

Should I provide some decorations?

What else would you suggest to make this party a hit?
 

"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.

You forgot music, the most important thing next to girls and alcohol.

Oh right, good idea. I'm not very good with music. Do you have any suggestions?

1) Booze - lower inhibitions. Everybody drinks!

2) Contest/game - social pressure to dance, touch, kino... etc...

3) pictures - to touch/kino again...

4) sexual truth/dare

Only works with lots of single attractive people.
