"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.

Because you've clung for so long to this purile notion that men and women should be friends before lovers. This is romanticized fantasy.
True. Rarely does it work that way. When it does, the only reason they didn't "hit it" straight away is because one or the other or both was involved with someone else.

Women have two kinds of friends; boyfriends and girlfriends, if he's not fukking you, he's your girlfriend.
This is a silly statement without qualifiers. Are you saying you have no female friends, Rollo_T, or are you saying you're one of their "girlfriends?" It's gotta be one or the other.

If a man's not fukking a woman, all it means is that he's not fukking her. It certainly doesn't compromise one's masculinity to befriend a woman who a man likes as a person if it's not right for them to be fukking for one reason or another.

But in the context of this situation, he may as well be your girlfriend, Dreamy_Chick.
 

"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.

Okay I agree with your feedback almost 100% however I don't like being patronized.
Then stop being so deserving of it. You've gone through 5 separate threads bemoaning your situation and not one response was forceful enough to take you over a knee and spank some sense into you. Like PARISIEN said, I'll tell you the truth, but it wont be painless.

No. What I'm illustrating is that women relate to each sex differently and when you communicate like a girl she perceives you as a 'girlfriend.' When you're having sex with a woman, she will perceive you and communicate with you differently than one of her girlfriends.
