"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.

In some of my approaches when I go for the close, I get the classical objection "I have a boyfriend".

Some strategies that come to mind is saying "That's OK, I'm not looking for a girlfriend actually". Or saying "OK, I was just thinking of being friends with you".

On the first one, if it pass the objection, you can turn it into a sexual relationship.

But on the later, it makes the two of you... friends.

Can you tell me what are your tried and working strategies to get past this problem?

Thanks, Starriol.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Coincedentally I just nailed a Pommy chick on NYE who wouldnt shut up about her borefriend, she even brought him up while I was balls deep in her. The memory is still hazey but the first time she mentioned him I just said "Dont tell me your problems", the second I think I said something like "Obviously not as sexy and funny as me though" and the third time I just started plowing through with my conversation and brought her back into my reality like he never existed.

You should do a search, this has been covered a fair bit.

Well how long into the set do you go for the close?

When I hear anything about boyfriends I use boyfriend destroyers because thats the only thing that i know that could overcome the bf situation.

^^^ This problem arises much more often when I try to number close after 2-3 minutes of initiating convo.
I do this when I have no chance of keep the convo going.

Nice to know it anyway...
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
