"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.

My current circles consists of:
* blue-pill gamer nerds who worship the panties of their 11th grade ex-girlfriend and make thinly-veiled jokes about suicide and unhappiness to the point where I'm kinda worried about them.
* pseudo-nihilistic "4chan-is-my-homepage" losers (aka Sour Grape farmers) who voted for Trump because, and I quote, "He'll start a world war and Russia will kill all the girls in California that said no to me"
* unattractive males deeply absorbed in World War II and MLP who have given up on their dreams completely.
* Hentai Dakimakura (anime sex pillow) collectors who have very negative views on women (hate women ONLY because they can't have em).
* BPD rape victims who have been reprogrammed by their mentally ill women and parrot their self-loathing back and forth. I'm pretty sure she raped him because he is the bluest blue-pill I've seen.

I'd like to say I'm kidding but nah, these are 100% accurate descriptions of the people I associate with. I'm going to cut myself loose from them though.

As much fun as I had with these guys, and as much money I have made from selling stuff to them, I can't associate with them as I'm trying to progress in life. I have other options though, guys who have pretty good game, hook up with pretty girls a lot. Problem is they like to steal ****, regularly backstab their friends and allies, failed out of school, and basically spend every day trying to get throw-ins for a 30 rack of beer or hard liquor, and fight amongst each other over which drunk girl to ****.

Neither of these circles are worth the time. I'd rather not listen to guys talk about how 2D > 3D, or be afraid of having them rummage through my **** while I'm not looking.

How did you guys find your circle of friends? Have you guys met very low quality dudebros and how did you deal with them?
 

"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.

Hang out with negative people and you will feel negative. Hang out with positive people and you will feel positive. Do you wanna move up and become a better person overall? Hang out with wiser, smarter, more succesful guys than you. They will make you feel inferior because you are actually inferior to them in certain things, but that's the only way you grow. A lot of people never hang out with better people then them because they are so locked into the whole dominating other people. But no, hang out with better people, let them drag you up to becoming a better person.

Get out into the real world and find group activities that at least average to quality men do in their spare time.
Get away from the scared of life whiners.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I'm in the same boat. I spend all my time with plates or alone, both of which are fine by me.

Really should go about finding some male friends who aren't married/beta.
