"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.
How did you know it was love?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Sammy's technically the better singer (and musician), but Dave fits the band better.
Too bad they got caught up in so much drama.

"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.

People tend to forget there's more than just musicianship involved. Dave was a very underrated lyricist and all-time great performer, and vocally more expressive (more personality to his voice). In terms of the dramatic, literary, and performance art aspects of the band Dave has sizeable advantages over Sammy.

I liked Sammy more when he was in Montrose. Dave had a sense of humor, and as his personality was well suited for those MTV days.
I remember when I first saw Van Halen in concert, I had no idea who they were. They were the backup band for Black Sabbath. I had two main reactions: What the heck is that guitar player doing? And wow that lead singer can really jump high lol. I heard staying fit was a big part of Dave's road routine.

Talking about the video:
the 2 boys seem in love.
He could have a problem of fear of abandonment perhaps due to the fact that he had an overly attached mother, and he is looking for a girl in whom he can put the love that he gave to his mother.
She, on the other hand, seems to ignore her nature, for what reasons? Inexperience, Young age, or something else? This girl is living in a time where she is an exception, but as soon as she becomes a woman, will she change everything?
