"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.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

1. i need more but whenever i find ones i like they cost too much. i cant pay more for a tie than a shirt...
3 but i don't really like them so I'll probably go out and buy a few quality ones. It's always the quality not the quantity of clothing in regards to men's styles. With women it seems to be the other way most of the time.
"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.

I have 15. I have to wear them at my job 3 months out of the year. You guys should check out Ross, Burlington, Goody's and places like that. Nice ties don't have to be $50; I got the majority of mine for less than $20.

Approx. ten ties. Most are pre-tied (no, not clip-on!) so I can just slip them over my next, tighten, and be on my way.

Probably 40-50 but I only wear maybe 12 - 16 with any frequency. Oddly some tend to slip out of the rotation due to not ONLY new coming in but sometimes an old favorite reenters the queue. Until they wear out.
This wins for most random thread ever.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Ditto. Ties and watches are the simplest things that a guy can choose to change up his wardrobe easily. You don't have to worry about the fit and it's the thing which makes a plain white shirt so versatile.Darth said:
