"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.

I just heard about that about Kanye voicing his concern, that his wifes family might push for one of his babies to be in playboy or be a stripper. Which some dads would be concerned about, especially when dealing with a family who doesn't see a problem with it.


So anyway they keep mentioning Kanye as "bi-polar". If one of us had to deal with a controlling, behive minded, manipulative and exploitative group we would also suffer emotional distress. Hi's and lows. Them wanting to have him committed for "bi-polar" seems to be one of control.

Many of us men would have differing viewpoints than that family group. If we stuffed it down and shut our mouth, eventually we would get tired of that. If we didn't leave, we'd become eternally frustrated, shut down, distressed.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Kanye is unfortunately not in control of his mental illness.

Still, no one pointed a gun at his head and told him to marry her. Gents, you have a CHOICE in who you marry and have children with. Think about the kind of role model she will be for your daughter. Don’t be like Kanye.
If you know anything about bipolar, being manipulated or stressed makes it 10x worse. If he wouldn't have to deal with so much bullshyt he would be much better off.

And still that family, she married Kris Humphries in a design to get more attention and a greater comeup later. That family would manipulate and force the man, and most men would end up with mental problems, if they didn't go into the situation with them.
