Is sex more likely from chubbier chicks?

"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.

Several of my friends love goin' hoggin' on the regular. Personally, I just don't get it. These guys also go after women 10-15 years older or more. These are otherwise cool dudes, but to them, a female is a female. A starving man doesn't turn down a greasy slimy cheeseburger and wait for filet mignon, I guess. A man's gotta eat, right? It's frustrating watching this go down, since I know (or hope) they can do better.

For some reason, I really wish they would stop this behavior and step up their standards. Perhaps I'm worried about my own rep by association.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
