"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.

hey guys,

i'm 19 and i'm looking for a job that will force me to learn how to TALK TALK TALK and become more confident socially interacting with people. i'm sure many of you can say that certain jobs in your past have had a direct benefit to your current social skills now. the main job that comes to mind to me is retail sales (clothing, somewhere at the mall). but, i'd really appreciate it if guys could talk about their experiences working at certain jobs and suggest some places, from their experience.

thanks, i really appreciate it.
 

"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.

Waiter and Tourguides

My Suggestion: Become a waiter or a tourguide, those jobs were alright and it forced me to be a bit more assertive.

*Shrug* Even retail is a step up from working where I work (Subway). The only thing lower is a janitor... Than again, he probably makes more than me. Damn it. But despite the fact that I have a lame job... I still work with the public and get to talk to a lot of people.
