"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.

I haven't talked to this little biotch in weeks. She's dating somebody else, so am I, we aren't friends. Last week, she started practically begging me to be friends with her, I told her she wasn't a friend to me....then the weekend goes by and I hear on Monday that she's going around telling some really f*cked up lies about me.

She said I stole her credit card info and racked it up (we had a joint Visa, I had a card and she had one too), and that I did this, that, and the other....basically alot of little BS lies and half-truths.

All the people that know are mutual friends, and I don't know who believes what, but I'm pissed.

How do you deal with that?

If I don't defend myself, I'll look guilty, but I'm sick and goddamn tired of these games.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If it isn't true and people believe it, were they truly your friends?

Couldn't agree more man. Cause they would be her friends instead of yours.

If you can, explain to your friends what she's lying about.

Then, call the ***** and chew her out.

People probably won't agree with me on this, but I really don't care.

You going to stand there and let her do this stupid crap and get away with it?

Chew the ***** out. Swear, yell, whatever. Intimidate her into responding to you.

Don't be scared about looking like a "jerk" and her not liking you anymore, because:

1. She has nothing to offer.
2. She won't pull this **** anymore.
3. She will respect you more.

"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.

Amen.

You know what you did and didn't do. If you tell your "friends" and they believe some 2-bit lying h0 over you, then dump THEM too. And if she starts telling people that may affect your future/professional life, threaten her with a lawsuit to shut her up...women don't get law. :p
