"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

When I say waste, I'm speaking on something that to you in the end was worthless, bad deals,women etc.

I will go first, I figure I have blown at least 5 to 6 grand easily. I'm also 27 years old
 

"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.

I have some shoes I payed 300 dollars for on ebay in my closet, and I hate them. I keep them to remind me how foolish I can become with my money, now I rock cheap shoes like vans

not a lot, maybe around half of what you mentioned OP, but it's still more than i would've liked to & more than i would like to think about.

i'd much rather think about how to make more money than to think of the little i've lost in comparison to that.

I think i have easily blown at least $20,000 when a bit younger but i am not that worried - it seemed like an okay thing to do at the time but maybe not that good now. I have no regrets. :whistle:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Biggest Wastes of Money

Fast Food- When I was younger up through my late twenties I ate fast food several times a week. Probably blew several grand on something that is bad for you.

Wasted thousands repairing a car that wasn't worth it.

Taking women out on expensive dinner dates that went nowhere.

Excellent thread I think it goes to show that although blowing money wasnt such a good idea at the time it allows you to learn from future financial mistakes. Now just learn and improve on them. Heres mine:

Fast food - equates to my lazyness which can be solved by buying food and cooking in advance. Hell after looking at bank statements it ends up being $3,000 just from eating out.

Electronics - more so for the excitement. (Iphone, Flat Screens, Ps3's etc) problem is that id get so bored I would end up selling stuff off

Gas - driving friends around, making double sometimes triple trips etc
It doesnt hurt to say "NO"

9/10 making any kind of purchase comes down to wants vs needs

I "WANT" nice things but I "NEED the basics

"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.
