"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.

Simple question (has nothing to do with women). I'm getting a brand new house and I need to decorate. Going for living in a apartment with a roommate to living in a townhouse so I don't have a lot of stuff. All I really have is a couch (a nice lazyboy couch, though not in leather, couldn't afford that at the time), bed, dresser, big screen tv. I suck at decorating too, so give me some ideas. What would you do if you were me?
 

"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.

lol, guess we have different ideas of style. Too be honest I'd like to look like I'm not a college student. That's why I want to put some effort into the house I'll be living in. Just don't have any idea where to start. I know I will be buying a lot of my furniture at ikea, both because it's cheaper and I like the style.

I'd go to antique stores and the like and find some original wood tables, but I'm a country boy.

Keep it manly-this newage stuff is pretty gay.

"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.

Get up early on a Saturday and go look for yard sales in a wealthy neighborhood. Rich people have nice stuff, and they usually just want to get rid of it.

Best way to decorate is to bring a girl to help you out. They do a good job in decorating then after the house is finished decorating you can bang her.
