"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 think I overgamed myself?

HB8 initiates on Tinder. Her profile states she is 5'9 and likes her men to tower over her. I am 5'11. Anticipating her to ask my height at some stage I decide to pre-emptively disqualify her.

Her: How's your weekend going?
Me: Hey. What you up to?
Her: JUst a quiet one. Few dinners. You?
Me: You seem pretty cool but I'm not going to waste either of our time. I see you are 5'9 and in heels you would be around my height and I like to be taller than my date.
Her: Thanks for letting me know. Yes I like taller men.

Now it's one thing lying about my profession but should I lie about my height?
Or should I just not have mentioned it?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

What the women don't know won't hurt them, the stupid things guys say will hurt them.

I make a KILLING off tinder. I am 5'8" and could give a fvk if a woman is taller then me. All the same laying down right? :up:

I would not of even said anything. If she asked you could easily add an inch or two. If your 5"11 just say your 6 foot. When you meet up she is not going to say anything.

That seemed rather harsh. I've got a friend and there's this one thing I've always admired about how he handles people. No matter what he says or what game he plays, he ALWAYS leaves the door open and you slammed them shut. Hard. I doubt that was your intent.

Sounds like self-sabotage. If Bradley Cooper was 5'11" she'd change her tune or just wear flats on their dates.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
