"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 made a post on craigslist selling my stuff, a guy offered to buy all of it but he won't do paypal, only send a check via mail. now I know that this sounds like a complete scam, but what could go wrong if i just take the check, and wait for it to see if it goes through whatever before i ship out the goods?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

(a) I've bought/sold stuff by online classified & personal checks this way and it's worked out fine. but that was before Paypal got big.

(b) I've had friends scammed, even using paypal. The bigger the purchase / sale, the more suspicious I get.

(c) there's such a thing as escrow services but they're usually quite pricey.

(d) nothing wrong with your solution so long as the buyer agrees to that. but would he?

howard>> yeh, we usually call em money orders. USPS definitely has 'em. good discussion on the wikipedia, oddly enough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_order

ah that's cool, may be a good idea because it'll clear more quickly than a cheque ;)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

believe it or not, but money orders and certified checks can bounce too.

yeh...though if you cash a money order at the post office it will apparently either clear or bounce right away (according to the wikipedia article. i've never dealt with them.)

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
