We all know chicks go crazy over dudes who have fun, so how do you do it besides having a killer sense of humor?
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.

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.
bingo! Just make sure that the things that make you happy involve females in some way. Solitaire probably won't get lots of oohs and aaahs.Bible_Belt said:You do the things that make you happy.

Hmmm, I might disagree with you there.Daddy The Pimp said:Also Doing things that makes you happy aka SELF AMUSING is another great way.
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.
Man when self amusing , if you have a strong frame, you can draw people on your reality.When self amusing , dont be the pvssy that does something than looks around for others reactions. That wont work. Instead , keep doing it and until they are drawn to your reality.FairShake said:Hmmm, I might disagree with you there.
Granted, I'm a weird dude, but one thing that I LOVE doing is teasing people. Above and beyond "gentle teasing." If you do things only for self-amusement rather than the amusement of others you might find yourself by yourself. Keep in mind that relating needs two.
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.
