"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.

Ok, for all you guys who want to see success stories, here is one.

Girl that I had been hanging out w/ for a month- really shy, timid. that sorta thing.

Well, somehow subject came up last night when we were talking, and it seemed like she begged me to ask her out. She didnt get on her hands and knees, but i could tell there was desperation in her voice.

From the 2nd or 3rd time i saw her, i knew that we might end up have a LTR or at least a relationship.

But I used the DJ rules, I did all the stuff I know- eliminated stuff I knew didnt work. I played the field for awhile, and now I guess I'm gonna be tied to her.

I guess that was my goal all along, but I do enjoy playing the field, and trying out new things.

But any way- this is a success story, so I dont wanna see n e more threads a/b people saying they havent seen success stories posted. True the majority of posts are from AFC whiney babies, but not all...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

This is just me but if you just hooked up (late october), I wouldn't get her something extravagent for Christmas (it's only two months away!). Maybe a card though. I'm not trying to argue something that shouldn't even be an issue (how soon is soon enough to buy a gift to avoid being seen as an AFC?), since buying things for people can backfire no matter what.

And congrats for finding good LTR material!

i didnt really see any problem here, but now that you've brought it too my attention...

i think getting her just a card isnt enough, just b/c she's that type of girl.
i dont wanna make this into an issue, so....

there is a concert coming up, and i want to go, so maybe i can work getting the 2 of us tickets as a christmas present to her?!

what kinda crap is this?

if your boyfriend/girlfriend by christmas, you're getting her something, its that simple.

not don juan.. what kinda crap is that?

the girl will not break up with u if u buy her a present..

DON'T TAKE HER TO A ROMANTIC DINNER FOLLOWED BY A NIGHT IN A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL ROOM WITH ROSES AND TEDDY BEARS etc.

that's over the top.

but get her something small and thoughtful (my sister told me don't buy jewelery for girls, and if u do, be very careful, most girls are either silver or gold, not either!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Gifts

Quest is right on.

The idea is not to overdo it. An occasional gift is good. Too many, and they lose their value.

The best kind of gift to get is something personal that shows you've been paying attention to what she loves.

I can best illustrate this with an example:

I dated this one gal who told me she liked a certain brand of wine that had different corks that she collected, but since she moved to my state she hadn't found the wine anywhere. I got online, found out where I could get it, and surprised her with a bottle when she came to visit me. It blew her mind, and a very fun weekend followed :D.
