"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.

We all know what the perks of not having a girlfriend is... but I'm curious to know what perks you guys have to having a long-term girlfriend.

I have a brother who's always been in long-term relationships, and I remember his girlfriend before bought him a X-box 360... then the next one a PS3.

I've always been the type to be choosy with who I date, never having a girlfriend. But finally, I have a keeper I think... she's buying me a PS3 for Christmas.

I haven't had an awesome Christmas present since I was 10 or something (divorced parents)!

Needless to say, I'm stoked! Each of my three brothers have a PS3, and live states away, or just in town, just out of the way with their fiancees or wives. I can finally join in with them online!

What perks are their for you guys? In anything.
 

"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.

If all it takes is a $300 piece of electronic equipment to make it worth it to you, then more power to you.

Guaranteed regular sex. No more having to spend hours hanging out in sausagefest bars/clubs
I still went to clubs even when I had a girlfriend because frankly nothing keeps your game tight like constantly talking to lots of women. When you focus on 1 that's when the inner nice guy starts to come out to ruin everything.

Get cooked meals, get your place cleaned, keeps things organised, allows a partnership so you can chase your dreams if you don't have the time and money to do it otherwise, get one more best mate, as already said regular sex.

The perks far outweigh the cons.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

:rolleyes: Don't assume things.

The list was about listing things you wouldn't have the luxury to buy/afford by yourself, or the time to do yourself (as other people listed: cooking/cleaning/waste time at bars).

I can afford buying it, but I cannot justify buying it on my own, although I want one. She gives me the luxury to have a $300 piece of electronic equipment.

I don't get what your problem is...?
