"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

For the foreseeable future, anyway.

Last night I went out with my gf and all night she was moody and flighty and refused to communicate and changed her mind about what she wanted to do maybe 9 or 10 times.

Finally, it dawned on me: I don't need this bullshyt. I'm a well-off, reasonably handmose 23-year old guy. I shouldn't be doing anything that makes me unhappy.

It's like Epicurus said: the wise man seeks happiness and avoids unnecessary pain. Yoking myself to any one girl at this point can only produce unnecessary pain with no increase in happiness. So the next time I see her it's dumpsville for the gf and on to a better life.
 

"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.

So youre going to dump her because its that time of the month? It seems a bit shallow, perhaps its been something building. What you should have done is taken her ass home and left. It doesnt seem like shes causin you pain, she just seems to have irritated you. If she causes you so much pain you would have broken up with her before.

Well it's a little more complicated. She's been pushing for the relationship to get more serious (which is totally out of the question) and her flightiness has just been getting worse and worse in the five months we've been going out.

If she wants to get more serious and you're not ready then I think you're making the right move by breaking up with her. I just hope you do so in a gentle manner, even though you and she are clearly frustrated with each other.

Do you ever watch Caesar Milan? (The Dog Whisperer)? So many times he has said that dogs, (in this case, your girlfriend) take their cues from their masters (you). Maybe your (I'm guessing subconscious) doubts are exasperating her flightiness and need for more commitment. Just a thought. Sorry about the dog analogy but I figure it's something easily searched if you want to know more of what I'm talking about.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Dude, you're only 22. You should be hitting it and quiting it as much as possible. There is absolutely no reason for you to be in a monogamous relationship. None!

Right now you should be having the time of your life because when you get my age you will see exactly why. You really should be playing the field. If you had plenty of women chasing you, the LAST thing you would ever think of is a monogamous relationship because you'd be to worried about not having to get with all the ladies you meet when you're out partying with your buddies.

Don't waste your time at this age to be in a relationship. Hit it! Quit it!

Well I would have a talk with her about the relationship before making any rash decisions. If your not ready then tell her and see what happens, don't just assume she's well into the serious relationship as women often change their minds. Maryland is better than Virginia anyways so perhaps if you lived there then there wouldn't be any problems, lol jking

"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.
