Good luck with that strategy.Use a VPN and say your name is Bob.
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.

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.
that is one opinion for reason of existence; there is at least one other opinion for reason of existenceI am not saying he is, I am saying in the grand scheme he would be rather than the women. Species exist to procreate, its a biological instinct.
Well, to my knowledge, no species has ever willfully gone extinct from it's own doing.that is one opinion for reason of existence; there is at least one other opinion for reason of existence
interesting....I don't know how many species had the ability to reason out this type of big decision....interesting to think about over lunchtime hereWell, to my knowledge, no species has ever willfully gone extinct from it's own doing.
filtering to gain communication skills-that's exactly right. For the wrong "p' word though. I'm unabashedly looking for a Protector and I'm learning how to attract him off sosuave with the skills I learn/absorb here.Why even talk about this subject with a woman anyway? She would only be filtering for a man to be her producer.

"I have a FOID card and a "few" guns"... LOLfiltering to gain communication skills-that's exactly right. For the wrong "p' word though. I'm unabashedly looking for a Protector and I'm learning how to attract him off sosuave with the skills I learn/absorb here.
*off-sosuave, irl*.. and I'll have to look that phrase up"I have a FOID card and a "few" guns"... LOL
Lol I was joking but FOID = Firearms card so you can own guns legally in the US. But I think you're in Canada IIRC so not sure what the equivalent would be up there.*off-sosuave, irl*.. and I'll have to look that phrase up
They didn’t lie. They changed their minds.the two exboyfriends merely led me to believe they didn't want children in what they said in person and wrote in letters or texts)but then did a 180 and 'changed their mind'
Please don't lie.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
PAL non restrictedLol I was joking but FOID = Firearms card so you can own guns legally in the US. But I think you're in Canada IIRC so not sure what the equivalent would be up there.
good points, just used to only women getting away with 'changing their minds'.They didn’t lie. They changed their minds.
Lying is saying you are a millionaire when you are not.
Lying is saying you can play guitar when you can’t
Lying is saying you can speak 3 languages when you can’t.
To say you don’t want kids at 34 and then saying you do at 41 is not lying.
reason it is shocking is because you don't understand that we are all cut from the same cloth.Expectations of men are higher that they stick to their word.
Men change their mind like women. It always shocks me.
yes, thank you for feeding me the redpill again. I keep hoping and pedastalizing men as better than women. When they take on what I mistakenly believed were just feminine traits, I'm horrified. Such a sense of doom and imbalance in my worldview.reason it is shocking is because you don't understand that we are all cut from the same cloth.
reason men act (and don't act) a certain way is because it gets them what they want. if being unable to stick to their word or being submissive, were traits that were attractive to women (why are certain traits attractive/not attractive to women/men? comes down to survival/replication theory ("that's feminine, bro" = will not increase your probability of S/R acting this way), more men would act this way. its performance at the end of the day. just that after a while, it becomes unconscious for certain individuals who choose to adapt these traits. those who don't, will sometimes act in ways which may shock you. Because you mistakenly believed only women were capable of acting this way.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
