"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.

Point is, if you're having any kind of problems, talk to her about it. Otherwise, don't worry.
We call this the "ostrich effect".
 

"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.

I do want to make a point: during this time, when the message was sent, I was a complete jerk off to her. She would come to my house and beg to hang out with me and I would brush her off. I would tell her I didn't want to hang out. I was basically giving her the vibe that I didn't like her, even though I did (And we were going out...but I was using principles of the BAD BOY and challenge). Also, all of her friends (especially the one this message was sent to) thought that I was a **** to her and maybe they were right. In the message, she was explaining something to her friend about something, and briefly mentioned a guy who is involved with something she was talking about (some kind of play that she was in)...thats where she briefly states the "the guy I have a crush on". that was also the only message like that about a guy. and no, its not about me.

I have faith in my relationship with her, but I also know that she did consider betraying me in the past because of my terrible behavior towards her, in my effort to be a challenge/opposite of nice guy. She just never had the guts to leave me. Looking back, I wonder why...she should have, the way I treated her. I am a better person now, and she wants me children. SHe has mentioned marriage every day these past few weeks. Her IL is sky high as far as I can tell. I can't even imagine it being higher, nor would I want it to be higher. The other day she tells me "why do I have to ask you to tell me that you love me? I dont care if you dont say it, I have to tell you that I love you and I wont ever stop saying it". I just wish I never looked through that cell phone, but in a way it was good. It's good to be aware of what's going on. If ever she starts to act flaky, I will use the message I read as a source of resentment and next her because I could not stay with a woman who scans out other men while with me. At the time, I forgive her, however.

Good deal John - no relationship can or is perfect. I'd say you two are about even in the resentment department as you were a jerk and she was about to jump ship. In any case too much resentment isn't good, however, in this instance it cancels each other out, and sounds like a good thing to salvage and move forward.

People who don't know enough not to snoop are going to get burned. Keep snooping and next thing you'll find your mon's dildo, how will you feel then?

DON'T SNOOP!!!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Who cares whats on her phone? If she is your gf, she is YOURS, no1 else's, enjoy the times whilst you have them because love is conditional and soon she wont be yours. If you are insecure she will smell it and she wont like it.

She wants marriage and you don't for another ten years?? She'll be gone sooner than you think - she will probably look for another dude and you'll find out about the relationship after she splits and then she'll excuse her infidelity by saying "Well, you didn't love me or want to marry me" She'll blame you - guaranteed!!

Chicks that are having sex with their current beau don't break up with thei b/f THEN find another man - she'll be out searching/sexing another dude while you are in your pajamas at home!! Just letting you know!!
