"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.

There isnt any such thing as a shy confident person. I think you mean the strong silent type. If you're shy then its for a reason and that reason is probaly lack of confidence.
 

"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.

I like shy guys. Especially if they also seem confident. An intriguing paradox.

I have used the shy guy act to quite good effect in my repertoire. Don't underestimate its usefulness. Well, its not necessarily shy to the point of being weak, just a sort of aloofness.

It really works well in settings where there a loads of aggressive type guys, but in order to use it well, you need to be halfway decent looking and/or different with your own sense of style that stands out.

In fact my best all round game situation is to be around more aggressive type guys, because then it gets the females wondering about you once they do notice you. The trick is to get noticed without looking like you are trying to get noticed.

That really starts the gears going in their heads. Yes, a very effective tool.

I've slept with many a bartender chick by being different and NOT hitting on her.

I'm only talking about ATTRACTIVE women here

The young ones (18-25), they like the skinny guy. Not to say he's a complete weed who gets bullied.

The older ones (26-35), they like the big muscular guy with a shaved head.

If like iqqi, you aren't confident around other people, your 'self-confidence' (is there any other kind?) is low. Other people, who can handle or excel in social situations have more confidence than you.
Lol, this is so not true. I thought about it for a moment, and nope.

I have a friend, she is fvcking amazing around ppl. In every sense, I'd hire her to host my own party before I would do it myself. She's funny, always talking to random people, she can talk to ANYONE about anything without any warm ups! She laughs alot, and has it all down, she is a little social butterfly.

HOWEVER...She is one of the most unconfident people I know! She has ridiculously low self esteem.

She is constantly coming to me for advice and even simple instructions! On how to be. This is due to my self confidence.

On the other hand, ppl who know me, tend to "catch" me being shy, and are completely surprised... then charmed, to find this out.

Shy doesn't mean that you are AFRAID of ppl, or that you think YOU suck.

Timid, you may be, around ppl, but it doesn't always have to do with fear or self loathing/lack of self confidence. Just because you recognize a weakness doesn't make you NOT confident.

With shy people, their "weakness" is in regards to people they don't know. I honestly don't even know if I'd consider it a weakness.

I don't think other people are going to (or already do) think less of me, or that there is something wrong with me. As a matter of fact I know if I DO start talking or get to know a stranger, they will love me.

But I don't like talking to random people about random sh!t. This makes me shy away from strangers, or from drawing attention to myself. See how the two go together, and still leave out the whole "low self confidence" label?

God I'd hate to agree with iqqi but a person can be outgoing but not be self-confident (Actually a lot of outgoing people aren't really self-confident). And a person can be not out-going (shy)and have high self-confidence. I can't believe a girl like iqqi would understand this but I don't think iqqi is a girl anyway.

LOL.
I still like Alanis.
The "Uninvited" song is a great song. She has some good stuff.
"Thank You"

I think she's very interesting. She does seem to be a little too serious sometimes, but you can tell she has a sense of humor.
Have you ever seen the "Dogma" movie in its entirety?
Great film. You should check it out.


Anyway, since you're like......God, and all......
What do you say you send me a million bucks?:p

Thanks, Iq....I mean God.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
