"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've run into a bit of trouble with the 'gay friend' with a few of my recent girls. I am generally very polite and friendly to him but he always brings the attitude. I tried to take her out to coffee tonight but the gay friend insisted he come along, I could tell she was a little uneasy about it and I was pretty upset.

Whats the best strategy for defeating the gay friend?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

"If you were takin a guy out on a date, trying to take things with him, and I tagged along, wouldn't that kill the mood?"

Answer is yes. Don't tell him if you don't want him to go.

dont tell him you going out- or go out and set up shop across the street from a gay bar-- ex: there is a burger king across the street from a gay bar with outdoor seating....his energy will be.. diverted

what the heck does his being gay have anything to do with the problem?

he's just a social retard that wants to come along on your dates for some bizarre reason.

his being gay has nothing to do with it.

tell him to fvck off for the evening and stop being such a needy bytch.

lol... well said.

The fact that he's gay has nothing to do, with him having any right to tag along.
Treat it as you would one of her Gf's.

And why does this even concern this gay guy?
Shouldn't you be checking your girl on this issue anyways?!
(Tell her straight up... I want to go out with you, and enjoy you... not your homo sidekick)

Above and beyond that.
Just befriend the fvcker, as you would any of her other friends.
A gay dude is serious venom, when in a ***** fit. So better you snub any potential issues w. this fool, before they're even created. By... befriending. And I'm saying this, when your at joint parties, etc. But when its just you going out w. your girl... fvck him. He's not entitled to be any part of that.

I used to date a flight-attendent and all her friends were gay.
So I feel you. But, straight up... treat it as you would anyone else.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

He's playing the role of over-protective brother (or sister, actually..ha). The reason why being polite to him isn't working is because he's under the impression that you do it out of curtousy (in an effort to bed his "little sister"). He may be a flamer, but he's still a guy. He knows what you're thinking.

If you want to defuse the whole situation, you're going to have to get sort of buddy buddy with him; make the impression that you can be a cool friend to him and not just a nice guy with manners. Not only does this work with the fag, but she will look at you with a little more respect as well. It's solid.

Well what do you expect?? when you hang around girls you will get the company of girls. Gay guys and AFC's are a part of the package because they are just like the girls. If you want to date her then date her and this guy will be out the picture but if you want to hang out and be part of the girls then don't complain if he wants to tag alone.
