"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.

So, I had a bunch of bs planned out for this summer but I ended up crashing my mountain bike and messing up a disk in my back. I felt pretty bad for awhile but then I decided to take up reading and set up some goals in improving myself.

I'm 19 and I've been a clueless BAFC until now. I went through depression and social anxiety... I climbed my way out of that **** but I'm still lacking in social skills.

I've made a ton of progress. I used to be scared to leave the house and now I'm perfectly comfortable in public and talking to people I know and clerks and stuff. I've even found myself flirting with some clerks. Only recently have I tried talking to strangers and it's difficult to say the least.

I'm going back to college on Monday so I figure I'd start Bootcamp today.

I've read a lot of stuff here and some of david deangelo's (sp?) stuff.

I know I'm capable of dropping this whole wussbag mentality but I also know it's not going to be easy. Specially considering all the flack I get from family and friends everytime I try to change myself.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I remember when I first started to read this sort of info when I was 17. You almost become ravenous for the knowledge.

Best of Luck :up:

Read the DJ bible, practice, and learn to hold conversations without worrying about gaming or C&F first. Then, work on frame control and being C&F. Finally, begin to establish a "routine stack" of your own that you are congruent with. Do this and you will be further along than most.

Week one of bootcamp started on Thursday.

I approached one girl and made an ass out of myself but who cares it was practice. I'm only up to 7 hi's and it's been 2 days. Eye contact isn't hard but getting myself to smile at strangers is a pain in the ass.

I go back to college Monday. I got to get laid before going back to school. I don't care how. I just gotta do it now or I know it's going to be 10x more difficult once school starts.

It's amazing how confidence can fluxuate. Sometimes I feel angry about my situation and I feel like I can take on anything and other times I feel like a huge wuss.
