"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.

Is Los Angeles Safe?

"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.

I read that in Orange County, the tap water is sewage water that has been treated and pumped back to you. Yum.
Reclaimed water is only used for irrigation and other things as far as I know, not for drinking or showering or things like that.

After living in Los Angeles, and now living in NYC, there really is no difference. It's just a big mixture of poor people, middle-class folk, and upper class folk. I've never felt unsafe in Los Angeles. Certain parts, yes, but you have to understand people won't get shot at for driving through a particular neighborhood. Walking around you might get hassled, but like the song says, nobody walks in LA.

No one really lives in downtown LA. It's not like midtown manhattan. Downtown LA has mainly business and only a few residential high rises. Every part of LA is being gentrified just like NY has been. This fact alone makes both of these cities increasing expensive to live in, yet much safer than their previous times.

But to answer your question, you'll be pretty safe wherever you go. Just use common sense when dealing with certain people. Now if you were going to Oakland, Cleveland, or St. Louis, I'd say be more careful.
 

"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.
